1.) Skeletal muscle is also referred to as voluntary muscle since it may be controlled consciously or voluntarily in accordance to nerve cell inputs. It is similar to the cardiac muscle which is sometimes known to as striated (“striped”) due to its streaked or striped appearance under the microscope.
2.) Cardiac muscle is located solely in the heart and, while it is striated the same as skeletal muscle, it works involuntarily. Cardiac and the majority of smooth muscles are autorhythmic, meaning it may contract spontaneously in the absence of nervous or hormonal stimuli.
3.) Smooth muscle is present all over the body, including the walls of hollow organs like the digestive, reproductive, and urinary systems, tubes such as blood vessels and airways, as well as other areas like the interior of the eye.
