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.
Smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and striated muscle are all muscular tissues. They have differences however, smooth muscle is involuntary and is usually found in the visceral organs (these are stomach, the intestines and the like) of the body; a striated muscle can either be skeletal or cardiac, they are striated because of the presence of certain proteins that constitute them.
