(N/A) The three main types of muscles found in the human body are as follows:
$1$. Striated Muscles (Skeletal Muscles): These are cylindrical,unbranched,and multinucleated. They show alternate light and dark bands (striations) and are attached to bones.
$2$. Smooth Muscles (Unstriated Muscles): These are spindle-shaped (fusiform) with a single central nucleus. They do not show striations and are found in the walls of internal organs like the stomach and intestines.
$3$. Cardiac Muscles: These are cylindrical,branched,and uninucleated. They show striations and are involuntary muscles found exclusively in the heart.
