Question

Differentiate between skeletal muscles. smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle (at least two points in each)

Answer 1

1) Skeletal muscles: It is a form of striated muscle tissue, which is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibres known as tendons.

2) Smooth muscle: Smooth muscle generally forms the supporting tissue of blood vessels and hollow internal organs, such as the stomach, intestine, and bladder.

3) Cardiac muscle: The cardiac muscle function has a movement of contraction, which moves the blood into the heart and the circulatory system that goes throughout the body. The cardiac muscle function is important because it keeps the blood flowing within the heart so that it can continue to pump.
