1.Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones. Smooth muscles line up the visceral organs viz. Intestines,blood vessels,pupils etc (therefore also known as visceral muscles.) 2.Skeletal muscles perform voluntary actions. Smooth muscles are responsible for involuntary reflexes and actions.
The three main types are skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle has a striped appearance earning its other name striated muscle. It is designed to work at a moments notice but it tires easily. Smooth muscle is not striped. It is designed to work slowly so therefore it tires slowly.
