i think you are thinking about the muscular system as a whole which has over 600 muscles
The human tongue is made up of 8 different muscles. These are all classified as either intrinsic or extrinsic muscles. The extrinsic muscles are the genioglossus, hyoglossus, styloglossus, and palatoglossus. The intrinsic muscles are the superior and inferior longitudinal muscles, the verticalis muscle, and the transversus muscle.
There is no exact number of muscles in our bodies as there are different opinions as to what constitutes a muscle. The figure varies from 640 to 850
Smooth muscle makes up your intestines but Cardiac muscle makes up your arteries.
Involuntary Muscle Immerse yourself medical language, page 431: "Smooth muscles are involuntary, nonstriated muscles."
They are the muscles. Muscles contract in pairs to move the parts across the joint. One muscle contract with more power. The opposite muscle contracts with less power and get stretched over to allow the first muscle to act.

Your involuntary muscles are muscles like your smooth muscle (stomach) and your cardiac muscle (heart), which are under autonomic control. Your skeletal muscles are the muscles which are voluntary since you have complete control over them! :]
Muscle cells are also known as muscle fibres. A muscle fibre is made up of myofibrils. The myofibrils are made of many myofilaments. When myofilaments are stimulated by a nerve impulse they slide over each other contracting or shortening the muscles.

Over 650 skeletal muscles.
There are over 600 muscles in the human body, which can be grouped into about 10 major muscle groups. These major muscle groups include muscles in the legs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, and core. Each group is made up of multiple individual muscles that work together to help the body move and function.
you muscles are made of many individual muscle fibers. When you lift a weight or exert a force over and over again you damage these fibers (more specifically actin and myosin). When your body repairs the damage, you get more muscle mass!
