Verified step by step guidance

Understand the characteristics of muscle types: Muscles can be categorized into three types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Each type has distinct features regarding control (voluntary or involuntary) and appearance (striated or non-striated).

Define voluntary muscles: Voluntary muscles are those that can be consciously controlled. Skeletal muscles are the primary voluntary muscles in the human body, allowing for movement and posture control.

Define striated muscles: Striated muscles have a banded appearance due to the arrangement of actin and myosin filaments. Both skeletal and cardiac muscles are striated, while smooth muscles are non-striated.

Analyze the options: Cardiac muscle is striated but involuntary, smooth muscle is non-striated and involuntary, and skeletal muscle is both striated and voluntary.

Conclude based on definitions: The muscle type that is both voluntary and striated is skeletal muscle only, as it meets both criteria of being under conscious control and having a striated appearance.
