What muscles are under voluntary control of the brain?
Skeletal muscles that move our bones are under voluntary control. They have a microscopic appearance with striations so they are called striated muscle. Some striated muscles such as muscles of the eyelids (the obicularis muscle of the eye lid) are under both voluntary and involuntary control... you can be blinking by thinking or blink without thinking. This is partly because the obicularis has some specialize "smooth" involuntary muscle fibers mixed in. There are many muscles called smooth muscles that are part of organs such as the stomach and intestine that are not under voluntary control. This muscle has no microscopic striations and is called smooth. The last main type is cardiac that is somewhat like striated but is typically not under voluntary control.

What is the difference between skeletal and other muscles?
Skeletal muscle is voluntary muscle that moves bones. It has long cells with striations and it is sometimes called striated muscle. Smooth muscle is slow moving, and is not controlled by the mind. It is also has the same functional units as skeletal muscle but it is harder to see. The last is cardiac muscle. This also has striations but they are short rather than long. This muscle is said to be autorhythmic. Each cell can beat on its' own and as a group, they beat together.
