Skeletal muscles are sometimes called

• A. Pulling
• B. Fixed
• C. Voluntary
• D. Involuntary

Answer: (C)

Voluntary control. Skeletal muscles are the muscles you actively decide to move—attached to bones and moved by conscious commands from the brain via the somatic nervous system. This allows deliberate, precise actions like lifting a hand or running. The other terms don’t fit as a description of skeletal muscle type: “pulling” is only an action, not a classification; “fixed” isn’t a property of muscle tissue; “involuntary” would refer to smooth or cardiac muscles that operate without conscious control.
