Skeletal muscles look like long muscle fibers with a nuclei in each one, looks striated or striped. Compared to a smooth muscle that looks like sheets of thin cells each have a nucleus as well but looks smooth.

∙ 14y agoSkeletal muscle tissue is well organized into sarcomeres and it gives it a striated or banded appearance under a microscope. It also has many nuclei which are situated on the periphery of the cell. Lastly it is a voluntary muscle tissue meaning that you can contract it at will.
Smooth muscle tissue is poorly organized and no striations are visible. It is unicucleate which is centrally located and it is an involuntary muscle.

∙ 13y agoThe two main differences between skeletal muscle and smooth muscles are as following. The first one is that under the microscope smooth muscles appear smooth and unstripped, while skeletal muscles appear rough and striped. And the second one is that skeletal muscles are voluntary (they are operated by conscious thought); while smooth muscles are involuntary (they are operated unconsciously by the brain).

another name for voluntary muscles are skeletal or striated muscles.
What type of muscle attaches to the skeletal system and allows movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscles attach to the skeleton and allow movement. In contrast, smooth muscles are not under voluntary control.
What muscles are the muscles that move bones?

Whats the anatomical difference between smooth cardiac and skeletal muscles?
cardiac and skeletal muscles have one thing in common, that is they are both striated in contrast to the smooth muscles commonly found in the GIT. however the main difference between them is that cardiac muscles function involuntarily while skeletal muscles are under conscious control. --thoughtfulobserver
Compare and contrast skeletal cardiac and smooth muscles?
Cardiac muscle uses aerobic respiration which is rich in myoglobulin, glycogen, and very large mitochondria that fills over 25% of the cell. Skeletal muscle only 2% of the cell. In turn makes cardiac muscle highly resistant to fatigue.

What types of muscles are striated striped muscles skeletal muscles smooth muscles or involuntary muscles?
Skeletal muscles.
