Actually, Skeletal muscle in and of itself is a TYPE of muscle. There are three types of muscle.

1.) Skeletal - the muscles that help us move around daily and are under voluntary control

2.) Cardiac- the heart muscle basically

3.) Smooth- these muscles are under involuntary nervous control. For example, the muscles in your digestive tract contract to move food downward. You don't have to think to initiate contractions do you? :)

Skeletal Muscle can further more be broken down into fiber types I, II( IIa, IIb, IIx)

type I muscles are slow twitch- highly resistant to fatigue. Type II are fast-twitch and have a low resistance to fatigue.
