1. Striated Muscles (Skeletal Muscles)
- Structure: Long, cylindrical, multinucleated, and have light and dark bands (striations).
- Location: Attached to bones (arms, legs, etc.).
- Control: Voluntary (under our control).
2. Unstriated Muscles (Smooth Muscles)

- Location: Found in walls of internal organs like stomach, intestines, blood vessels, and bladder.
- Control: Involuntary (not under our control).
