The answer to your homework-assignment is:
3 types of muscle-tissue occurs in the human body:
Smooth muscle (not discussed in this answer)
Skeletal muscle
Cardiac muscle
Cardiac and skeletal muscle will look more or less the same seen through the lens of a microscope, because they are both striated. However, there are small differences which we wont get into here. Physiologically as well as anatomically (at cell level) there are several other important differences.
The most obvious reason however is this: While you can move skeletal muscle voluntarily, i.e. clenching your fist or flexing your biceps, you cannot voluntarily move cardiac muscle. It is self-governing and under higher control from the central nervous system.
And the type of muscle used in the heart - yes you guessed it - Cardiac Muscle.
