Anatomy and Physiology BTEC Sport Level 3 Unit 1- Types of Muscles

The video tutorial by Rich from Planet PE covers Learning Aim B of the BTEC course, focusing on the muscular system. It introduces the three types of muscles: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Cardiac muscle is unique to the heart, works continuously, and is not consciously controlled. Smooth muscle is found in hollow organs and controls bodily functions involuntarily. Skeletal muscle is attached to bones, enabling voluntary movement. The video emphasizes understanding the location, function, and characteristics of each muscle type.
