Striated muscle appears stripped due to the parallel alignment of many muscle fibers side to side with their sarcomeres lined up.
The striations across each cell are caused by the overlap of the contractile proteins actin and myosin. Actin is the main protein of thin filaments and myosin is in the thick filaments. When actin and myosin are overlapped the darkest band appears( A band), when only actin is present a lighter band, is seen (I band).

The muscle tissue that shows no striations is muscle?
Smooth muscle contains no striations whereas cardiac and skeletal muscles are striated.
Is cardiac muscle striated?
Cardiac Muscle is smooth but looks striated
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
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.
What only type of muscle that is voluntary and striated?
A voluntary muscle is a muscle that work according to a person's will.Striated muscles are the muscles which have striations or the meshwork of fibres.skeletal muscles are both voluntary and striated muscles.
Is a skeletal muscle the same as a striated muscle?
Yes, skeletal muscles are voluntary, meaning they can be intentionally controlled. This distinguishes them from the cardiac muscle (heart) and smooth muscles, which are involuntary.
What are the visible bands in cardiac and skeletal muscle called?
Visible bands in cardiac and skeletal muscle are called striated muscles.
What type of muscles are striation found in?
The alternating A and I bands on the miofibrils.
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 is the most common types of muscles?
Depends on how big a meat-head you are. There are exactly three types of muscle: cardiac (striated, bifurcated and mononucleated), smooth (no striations, multinucleated), and skeletal (striated, multinulceated).
What type of muscle tissue allows you to move your extremities?
Skeletal muscle which has microscopic alternating bands of light and dark called striations. Therefore it is striated, voluntary muscle.
What produces the striations of a skeletal muscle cell?
Skeletal muscle is one of the three types of muscle and it is a structure of a striated muscle tissue. The muscle is made up of myocytes or muscle fibers.
