There are three types of muscles in the body. One type is the skeletal muscle. The human body has about 650 skeletal muscles in it. They are also known as striated muscles. These muscles are voluntary. They can control every action of a person.

There are two types of skeletal muscle, which include a slow twitch and a fast-twitch. Slow twitches are bright red. They get their color from the protein they have. They are essential because they carry a lot of oxygen. The other type of skeletal muscle is fast-twitch, which is whiter in color. Its color comes from the fact it has less protein.
