plural nouns- multiple or different kinds?

0I found out that in some cases plural of a noun means different kinds/types rather than multiple.02br
02br
00For example, 02br
02br
00Humans have more than 600 muscles. => muscles here means different kinds of muscles02br
02br
00Another example is squid(s). Squid and squids are both plurals but squids is generally refering to different species of squid.02br
02br
00I'm worried that for nouns that I'm not familiar with, I might use them incorrectly, as online dictionaries do not explain which context plural nouns refer to. I believe most plural nouns refer to multiple case but there are exceptions.02br
02br
00Are there any resources that provide this distinction?02br
02br
00Thanks!0-
