APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscle – the specialised tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement. Smooth muscle – located in various internal structures including the digestive tract, uterus and blood vessels such as arteries. Cardiac muscle – the muscle specific to the heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each type of muscle tissue in the human body has a unique structure and a specific role. Skeletal muscle moves bones and other structures. Cardiac muscle contracts the heart to pump blood. The smooth muscle tissue that forms organs like the stomach and bladder changes shape to facilitate bodily functions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Types of Smooth muscle Smooth muscles are of two types. They are: Single-unit (visceral) smooth muscle: All the cells function collectively and simultaneously as a single unit (unitary). Multiunit smooth muscle: It is a type of muscle in which all the cells cannot function collectively and work independently.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cardiac Muscles are found in the Heart and are involuntary muscles. Skeletal Muscles are attached to the bones and are voluntary in nature. Cardiac Muscles are only found in the heart wall of vertebrates. Skeletal Muscles can be found all over the body, attached with the help of Tendons.

Detailed explanation-5: -Both skeletal and cardiac muscles appear striated, or striped, because their cells are arranged in bundles. Smooth muscles are not striated because their cells are arranged in sheets instead of bundles.
