There are 3 main muscle types. They are skeletal, cardiac and smooth. There are 10 types of skeletal muscles in this game to play with.
Skeletal striated muscle is voluntary somatic muscle that makes up the gross skeletal muscles that compose the muscular system, moving or stabilizing bones and other structures.
Cardiac striated muscle is involuntary visceral muscle that forms most of the walls of the heart and adjacent parts of the great vessels, such as the aorta, and pumps blood.
Smooth muscle (unstriated muscle) is involuntary visceral muscle that forms part of the walls of most vessels and hollow organs (viscera), moving substances through them by coordinated sequential contractions (pulsations or peristaltic contractions).
