You Have More Muscle Types Than You Realize
Most people only think of skeletal muscle, but the body actually relies on three different muscle types:
- Skeletal muscle (movement and posture)
- Smooth muscle (controls digestion, blood flow, and organs)
- Cardiac muscle (powers the heart and never gets a rest)
Smooth muscle is especially fascinating—it can contract for long periods without fatigue, allowing your intestines and blood vessels to work nonstop without conscious effort.
