What are the differences between smooth muscle and striated muscle in terms of their structure and function?
Smooth muscle and striated muscle differ in their structure and function. Smooth muscle lacks striations and is found in organs like the intestines and blood vessels, where it contracts involuntarily. Striated muscle, like skeletal and cardiac muscle, has a striped appearance and is under voluntary control. Skeletal muscle is responsible for movement, while cardiac muscle pumps blood throughout the body.
