The number of muscles in the human body varies from about 656 to 850, depending on which expert you consult. No exact figure is available because there are a variety of opinions about what constitutes a distinct muscle (versus a part of a complex muscle). Also, there is some variability in muscular structure between individuals.
There are three categories of muscle: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. The skeletal muscles consist of striped or striated fibers. They move the various parts of the body. Skeletal muscles are considered "voluntary" muscles because the person controls their use.
