b. Involuntary muscle fibers are smooth,
or nonstriated, and are not under the
control of the individual’s will (fig. 3-9).
The muscles of the stomach are an
example.
NOTE: Composed of a special branched type
of cell, the heart (cardiac) muscle is an involun-

4. LIQUID. Liquid tissues act as a medium

as a vehicle for eliminating waste material.
They form the blood, lymph, and tissue
fluids.
5. NERVOUS. Nervous tissue is the most
