Skeletal Muscle (as well as Cardiac Muscle) have striations do to their sarcomere's anatomy. The sarcomere is the functional unit of the muscle and appears striated because the different thick and thin filaments present.

∙ 10y agomuscles have filiments, some are thick and some are thin ,the alternating of these filiments are called striations. The thick filiment is called Myosin, and the thin filiment is called Actin.

Intercalated discs and striations suggest the presence of skeletal muscle?
Intercalated discs and striations suggest the presence of cardiac muscle. Only cardiac muscle has intercalated discs. Both skeletal and cardiac muscle have striations.
What do striations muscles look like?
Striations are light and dark bands on skeletal and caridac muscle fibers. Smooth muscle lacks striations
The muscle tissue that shows no striations is muscle?
Smooth muscle contains no striations whereas cardiac and skeletal muscles are striated.
What do you call the stripes across a skeletal muscle cell?
Striations
Where are striations?
On rocks - they are the parallel groves or scratches. Or on skeletal or cardiac muscle: they are the "strands" of the muscle.
What type of muscles are striation found in?
The alternating A and I bands on the miofibrils.
What are the visible bands in cardiac and skeletal muscle called?
Visible bands in cardiac and skeletal muscle are called striated muscles.
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.
How are the striations of a skeletal muscle produced?
Of the three types of muscle, cardiac, smooth and skeletal, skeletal is striated. Myocytes form myoblast which form myofibers. The myofibers are composed of myofibrils which are comprised of sarcomeres which is responsible for the muscles striated appearance.
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
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.
How is cradiac similar to skeletal muscle?
Both types of muscles have striations in their cells for greater contraction. These striations are in the form of crossing and alternating light and dark bands.
