Skeletal muscles are designed to give maximum strength - the drawback to this is that they can only operate for a short while. Try holding your arm out straight level for an hour. Cardiac muscles are designed to work continuously (short bursts but forever) - the drawback to this is that their maximum effort is only mediocre. Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones,smooth muscles work in your organs,and cardiac muscles work in your heart.

Is the cardiac muscle smooth?
no, it is branching and striated.
Is cardiac muscle striated?
Cardiac Muscle is smooth but looks striated
What is cardiac smooth muscle?
There is nothing really called 'cardiac smooth muscle'. Cardiac muscle is striated like skeletal muscle but it is not under your control like skeletal muscle is. It acts more like smooth muscle because of this reason. But we only use the terms smooth muscle, striated (skeletal) muscle or cardiac muscle.
Is the cardiac muscle branched?
No. Smooth muscle and cardiac muscle are two different types of muscle tissue. Smooth muscle does not have striations (or stripes) and is located in the organs. Cardiac muscle is striated (has stripes) and fits together with gap junctions that allow for quick passage.
What are the 3 subtypes of muscle tissue?
Striated,smooth,and skelital cardiac, skeletal, and smooth
What are the 3 forms of muscle tissues?
smooth, striated and cardiac
What is the fundamental characteristic of the cardiac muscle?
striated smooth muscle with intercalated discs
What muscles are striated muscles?

What are some different types of muscles?
There are three muscle types, skeletal, smooth and cardiac. Skeletal and cardiac are both striated muscle, whereas smooth muscle is not.
Is the hamstring a cardiac or smooth muscle?
The hamstring is neither! It's categorized as a striated muscle, whereas the heart is the only cardiac muscle and the stomach is the prime example of a smooth muscle.
What type of control do skeletol smooth and cardiac muscle have?
Cardiac muscle is striated and is involuntary muscle. Smooth muscle is also controlled involuntarily by the brain. Skeletal muscle, however, is voluntary.
How is cardiac muscle similar to stomach smooth muscle?
Cardiac muscle is similar to smooth muscle in that both are involuntary. Cardiac muscle is similar to skeletal muscle because they are both striated.
