There are three muscle types: skeletal muscle which move bones and thereby the body, cardiac muscle which causes the heart to beat and smooth muscle which is found in all hollow organs except the heart.

The skeletal muscles are also called voluntary because you must use your mind to move them using the nervous system.

Neither the smooth muscles nor the cardiac muscles require thought to move them, but they do need nervous stimulation.
