Smooth muscle is found in the lining of the digestive tract, within the arteries, and in the reproductive system. Smooth muscles move nutrients through the digestive tract, control blood pressure, and mix sperm with seminal fluid, among other tasks. The smooth muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Striated muscle, named after its striped appearance, can be divided into two types, cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle produces the pumping action of the heart. The skeletal muscles attached to bones produce the majority of body movement. Other skeletal muscles are responsible for moving our eyes and lungs. The human body contains somewhere between 640 and 850 skeletal muscles.
