Muscles are set kind off like sets. Muscles can only contract and relax. It takes at least two muscles to move a part of the body fully. For example, when your arm is straight, your triceps (back of your arm) contract and the bicep relaxes. When your move your arm to a l shape, the bicep contacts and the tri relaxes. This happens through out the whole body.
There are 650 or more and that is too long to list here.
The body has more skeletal muscles.
The muscles that appear striped in microscope images are called skeletal muscles. All skeletal muscles are attached to bones of the body.
Different muscles move different parts of the body.

All skeletal muscles are attached to bones. This is why they are called skeletal muscles.
Cardiac muscles are involuntary. Cardiac muscles are what makes the heart pump. Cardiac muscles are only in your heart. If those muscles were voluntary, organisms would most likely die. Skeletal muscles are voluntary. You can move any part of your body freely with these muscles, unless you are paralized in which your skeletal muscles are damaged, the nerve cells from those muscles to the spine are damaged, or the spine itself is damaged. Skeletal muscles are found in all of the body. In an average person, skeletal muscles make up 40% of body weight. So:: Cardiac muscles are INVOLUNTATY Skeletal muscles are VOLUNTARY
The skeletal muscle is the only type of muscle which is voluntary.
