GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A muscle cell is also known as a myocyte when referring to either a cardiac muscle cell (cardiomyocyte), or a smooth muscle cell as these are both small cells. A skeletal muscle cell is long and threadlike with many nuclei and is called a muscle fiber.

Detailed explanation-2: -Select all that apply.-skeletal and cardiac muscles contain sarcomeres (striated appearance), but smooth muscles do not (non-striated). All muscles can still contract and have actin, thin, and thick myofilaments.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscles allow a person to move, speak, and chew. They control heartbeat, breathing, and digestion. Other seemingly unrelated functions, including temperature regulation and vision, also rely on the muscular system.
