APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscle fibers are red and white. They look striated, or striped, so they’re often called striated muscles. Cardiac muscles are also striated, but smooth muscles aren’t.

Detailed explanation-2: -Titin anchors the A band in the middle of the sarcomere and may determine thick-filament length and thus A-band length. In the 1970s it was proposed that the intermediate filament desmin, which surrounds the Z disks, connects adjacent myofibrils, resulting in the striated appearance of a skeletal muscle fiber.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal or Striated Muscle Skeletal muscle tissue is distinctive due to its long, tube-shaped multinucleated fibers (cells) with visible cross-striations. The striations are the result of highly ordered actin and myosin filaments within sarcomeres, the basic contractile units of muscle fibers (see images below).

Detailed explanation-4: -Striated musculature comprises of two types of tissues: skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle is the tissue that most muscles attached to bones are made of. Hence the word “skeletal". Cardiac muscle, on the other hand, is the muscle found on the walls of the heart.
