Add the name next to the correct sentence about it:
This muscle is found only in the wall of the heart. It is

referred to as skeletal muscle. These muscles contract and
relax to make our skeleton move. It is known as a voluntary
muscle because we can control its actions. It is called:
__________________________
(Select from: Striated muscle, non-striated muscle, cardiac
muscle)
The___________________ Muscle is found attached to the
skeleton
The____________________Muscle is found in the alimentary
canal, the walls of blood vessels and in the tubes leading to
and from the bladder.
The ___________________muscle is found in the heart
