| muscles that you can control at will | voluntary muscles |
| muscles that move your skeleton called this are voluntary muscles | skeletal muscles |
| as the muscles contracts, the protein molecules move past each other, and the striations appear to move, striations are most obvious in the skeletal muscle, but they also appear in heart muscle. Both skeletal muscle & heart muscle maybe called this. | striated muscle |
| muscle tissue that you cannot control example (muscles of the heart, stomach, intestines, blood vessels and other internal organs are this | involuntary muscles |
