1. The muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction. Exceptions to this are the action of cilia, the flagellum on sperm cells, and amoeboid movement of some white blood cells.

2.

Skeletal: It is a form of striated muscle tissue which is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons.

Smooth: composed of sheets or strands of smooth muscle cells. These cells have fibers of actin and myosin which run through the cell and are supported by a framework of other proteins.

Cardiac: It is an involuntary, striated muscle that constitutes the main tissue of the walls of the heart.

3. Voluntary muscles or striated muscles are those which work according to the one’s desire or are under control, whereas Involuntary muscles are not under one’s control. Biceps muscles, respiratory, alimentary and urogenital tracts are the places where voluntary muscles are found, while abdominal muscles, locomotory muscles, middle ear muscles, Diaphragm are the examples of the involuntary muscles.

5. Skeletal muscle is metabolically and mechanically maladapted to working as the muscle that causes the heart beat. The cardiac muscle has a much higher capacity to extract oxygen from the blood than any skeletal muscle with a higher mitochondrial density so the skeletal muscle heart would, at rest, be working at very near to its metabolic limits. This would not allow the body to do much exercise. The characteristics of skeletal muscle contraction are not the same as the characteristics of cardiac muscle contraction. Cardiac muscle is essentially a network of muscle fibers where most of the signal to contract is propagated by the fibers themselves and the contraction of the whole muscle occurs. The heart beat entails the whole heart contracting at a slower rate of contraction than skeletal muscle. I would conjecture that the relatively slow concentric beat of the whole heart would be better for pumping fluid than the more rapid beat of skeletal muscle. Nerves stimulate any number of motor units in skeletal muscle which, depending on how many nerves are activated, will allow fine gradations in muscle strength. This kind of control would not be necessary for the heart , so inefficient.
