Question

Write the difference between the Striated Muscle, Unstriated, and Cardiac Muscle.

Answer 1

Striated Muscle:

1. Striated muscles are thin and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can be found all over our bodies.
2. Striated muscles are sometimes called voluntary muscles because they can contract voluntarily and are controlled by the brain.
3. They also assist us in maintaining proper posture, balance, and breathing.

Unstriated Muscle:

1. Muscles that are not striated are considered involuntary.
2. The nutritional movement inside the alimentary canal, blood vessel contraction, and relaxation are examples of involuntary movements.

Cardiac Muscle:

1. Cardiac muscle is among three types of muscle found in the human body, and it is located in the heart's walls.
2. Cardiomyocytes are specialized cells that make up the cardiac muscle.
3. Because these cells are long and cylindrical (like a fibril) and contract at a regular rate to keep blood flowing through the heart, they are called contractile myofibrils.
