The type of muscle that you can see and feel, and that appears to have stripes (or striations) when viewed under a microscope, is Skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control and are attached to bones, enabling movement. They have a striped appearance due to the organized arrangement of muscle fibers.

Cardiac muscle, which is found in the heart, also has striations but is not directly perceivable in the same way as skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle, on the other hand, does not have striations and is found in walls of hollow organs. Fascia is not a type of muscle but rather connective tissue that surrounds muscles and other organs.
