Answer

Skeletal muscle is striated, voluntary, and found in virtually all bones of the skeleton. This type of muscle allows for body locomotion, support, and protection. Cardiac muscle is striated, involuntary, and can only be found in the heart. Smooth muscle is not-striated, involuntary, and is located in the walls of hollow internal structures such as blood vessels, airways, and abdominopelvic organs.
