Which muscles are responsible for actions such as bending and lifting?

Involuntary muscles
Cardiac muscles
Skeletal voluntary muscles
Smooth voluntary muscles

The correct answer is: Skeletal voluntary muscles

Skeletal voluntary muscles are responsible for actions such as bending and lifting because they are the muscles that you consciously control throughout your body. These muscles are attached to bones via tendons and allow for a wide range of movements, including walking, running, and performing various tasks that require strength and flexibility. Their voluntary nature means that you engage them on command, which is essential for activities that require precision and force, such as lifting an object or bending to pick something up. This differs from involuntary muscles, which operate without conscious control, and smooth and cardiac muscles, which are specialized types of involuntary muscles found in internal organs and the heart respectively.
