Smooth muscle lines hollow organs, blood vessels, glands, etc. In the gut, there is a circular layer of smooth muscle (for mixing food and enzymes and digestive juices together) and a longitudinal layer of smooth muscle (for propelling food along).
Skeletal muscle is attached to bones, or to the body surface (some facial muscles).
Cardiac muscle makes up the walls of your heart.

Smooth - not real strong, but works a long time without tiring.
