• There are three different muscle fibre types:

  • Type I
  • Type IIa
  • Type IIx
• Voluntary muscles are under our conscious control so we can move these muscles when we want to.
• Involuntary muscles are not under our conscious control which means we can't make them contract when we think about it.

• An example of voluntary muscles is the bicep.
