The role of non-striated muscles in the stomach is to churn foods for digestion. Non-striated muscles are smooth and have involuntary movement.

In what three ways can muscle cells be classified?

by microscopic appearance (striated and non-striated) , location , and movement (voluntary and involuntary)


Which muscle type is nonstriated?

the smooth muscles are non striated,we have smooth muscles in many areas of the body,especially in the wall of digestive system organs.


Is Heart made up of striated or non striated muscles?

Heart muscle is striated but not in the same way that skeletal muscle is. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart.Cardiac and skeletal muscle are similar in that both appear to be striated in that they contain sarcomeres. In striated muscle, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle, the actin and myosin filaments each have a specific and constant length on the order of a few micrometers, far less than the length of the elongated muscle cell (a few millimeters in the case of human skeletal muscle cells).The filaments are organized into repeated subunits along the length. These subunits are called sarcomeres. The sarcomeres are what give skeletal and cardiac muscles their striated appearance of narrow dark and light bands, because of the parallel arrangement of the actin and myosin filaments.However, cardiac muscle has unique features relative to skeletal muscle. For one, the myocytes are much shorter and are narrower than the skeletal muscle cells, being about 0.1 millimeters long and 0.02 millimeters wide .Furthermore, while skeletal muscles are arranged in regular, parallel bundles, cardiac muscle connects at branching, irregular angles.Anatomically, the muscle fibers are typically branched like a tree branch. In addition, cardiac muscle fibers connect to other cardiac muscle fibers through intercalcated discs and form the appearance of a syncytium (continuous cellular material).These intercalcated discs, which appear as irregularly-spaced dark bands between myocytes, are a unique and prominent feature of cardiac muscle .


What features distinguish the three types of muscular tissue?

The features that distinguish the three types of muscular tissue are structure, location, function, and means of activation. Structure can include straiated, smooth or rough. Location is where in the body . Function can include beating the heart, lifting an object. Finally means of activation could be voluntary or involuntary.

What is a type of muscle that is voluntary and not striated?

There is none. The only type of non-striated muscle is smooth muscle and smooth muscle is involuntary muscle.


What the difference between striated and non striated muscles?

straited produces movements and unstraited do not. straited are multinucleated and unstraited are uni-nucleated. straited has straitions of regular white and black band and unstraited is simple and smooth. striated muscle are voluntary while non -striated muscles r involuntary.. striated muscle r control by nervous system while non - striated muscles are control by chemical control system . striated muscles show rapid action while non- striated muscles show slow n steady action of work :) :)


Non-striated and involuntary are terms used to describe which type of muscle?

Smooth Muscle

What is the difference between visceral muscle and skeletal muscle?

1) skeletal muscle is voluntary 1) visceral muscle is involuntary 2) it is striated . 2) it is non striated 3) highly organized muscle. 3) less organized muscle


The only type of muscle that is nonstriated?

The only muscle in the body that is non-striated is the smooth muscle. It does not have any visible striations.


Where is non-straited muscle found?

Striated muscle is found in cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle, so this leaves non-striated muscle as smooth muscle. Smooth muscle can be found within the walls of blood vessels, GI tract, respiratory tract, bladder, uterus, iris of the eye, and maybe a few more places in the body.


Smooth muscle is characterized by?

The smooth muscle is an involuntary, non-striated muscle. It is divided into two sub-groups: the single-unit and multiunit smooth muscle.


What are 3 types of muscle found in your body?

connective, muscle, and epithelial I believeconnective, muscle, and epithelial I believeThe three types of muscle tissues:1. The voluntary or striated- muscle responds to concious commands.2. The Involuntary or non-striated - responds automatically3. The Cardiac (heart) muscle - the muscle of the heart itself.I hope this answers your question.


Which type of muscle tissue contains striations?

Striations are cause by pooling of blood after death in the direction of where the body originally was before being moved.My answer would be....The arrangement of myofilaments(actin/ myosin) on a myofibril produce the striations of a skeletal muscle cell . Also myofibrils align to give distinct bands. :)Hope that helps :D


What are two exampels of involuntary muscels?

Involuntary muscles are muscles you can't control, there are two main types - smooth muscle (non-striated). examples of this include your gastrointestinal tract (oesophagus, stomach, colon), even your blood vessels have smooth muscle -cardiac muscle (your heart), a special type of smooth muscle


What is Non-striated involuntary muscle type?

its Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle, so-called because it has no sarcomeres and therefore no striations (bands or stripes). It is divided into two subgroups, single-unit and multiunit smooth muscle. Within single-unit muscle, the whole bundle or sheet of smooth muscle cells contracts as a syncytium. lol i know more than u
