You can tell the difference in skeletal (voluntary) muscle and cardiac muscle under the microscope. Skeletal muscle has it's nuclei pushed out to the side of each myocyte, whereas cardial muscle has the nucleus in the center. Both have striated cytoplasm.

ITS THE NEUROLOGICAL IMPULSES THAT VOLUNTARILY AND INVOLUNTARILY CONTROL THE MUSCLES

There are three types of muscle:
Skeletal muscle or "voluntary muscle" is anchored by tendons to bone and is used to affect skeletal movement such as locomotion and in maintaining posture. Though this postural control is generally maintained as a subconscious reflex, the muscles responsible react to conscious control like non-postural muscles. An average adult male is made up of 40-50% of skeletal muscle and an average adult female is made up of 30-40%.
Smooth muscle or "involuntary muscle" is found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, bronchi, uterus, ureters, bladder, and blood vessels, and unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle is not under conscious control.
Cardiac muscle is also an "involuntary muscle" but it's a specialized kind of muscle found only within the heart.

A voluntary muscle if something like your bicep which you can contract and move at will. Your heart beat is an involuntary function. You can not stop it from beating. It will beat as fast as is necessary to support the activity your body is currently doing.
