GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal and cardiac muscles are known as striated muscles, because the filaments of actin and myosin that power their contraction are organized into repeating arrays, called sarcomeres, that have a striated microscopic appearance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The body possesses two types of striated muscle, cardiac and skeletal.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Skeletal muscle fibers occur in muscles which are attached to the skeleton. They are striated in appearance and are under voluntary control.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cardiac muscle is striated, like skeletal muscle, as the actin and myosin are arranged in sarcomeres, just as in skeletal muscle. However, cardiac muscle is involuntary. Cardiac muscle cells usually have a single (central) nucleus.
