The two main types of muscle are skeletal muscle and smooth muscle. There is also cardiac muscle but that is only found in the heart so cannot be classed as a 'main type'.

The obvious difference between smooth muscle and skeletal muscle is that smooth muscle is not under conscious control whereas skeletal muscle is.

Skeletal muscle is used to move the skeleton and smooth muscle is found on the walls of structures and organs.
