    Skeletal Musclesare found along the appendages and the skeleton they put the body in motion.

    Cardiac Muscle- lines the heart and is very influenced by electrical activity.

    Smooth Muscle- Lines the stomach and is usually striated.

    Skeletal muscle or "voluntary muscle" is anchored by tendons to the bone and is used to affect skeletal movement such as locomotion.

    Smooth muscle or "involuntary muscle" is found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, bronchi, uterus, ureters, bladder, and blood vessels, and unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle is not under conscious control.

    Cardiac muscle is also an "involuntary muscle" but it's a specialized kind of muscle found only within the heart.
