What are the three different types of muscle found in the human body?

Answer 1

Cardiac muscle tissue forms the bulk of the wall of the heart. Like skeletal muscle tissue, it is striated (the muscle fibers contain alternating light and dark bands (striations) that are perpendicular to the long axes of the fibers). Unlike skeletal muscle tissue, its contraction is usually not under conscious control (involuntary). Smooth muscle tissue is located in the walls of hollow internal structures such as blood vessels, the stomach, intestines, and urinary bladder. Smooth muscle fibers are usually involuntary (not under conscious control), and they are nonstriated (smooth). Smooth muscle tissue, like skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy. In addition, certain smooth muscle fibers, such as those in the uterus, retain their capacity for division and can grow by hyperplasia. Skeletal muscle tissue is named for its location - attached to bones. It is striated; that is, the fibers (cells) contain alternating light and dark bands (striations) that are perpendicular to the long axes of the fibers. Skeletal muscle tissue can be made to contract or relax by conscious control (voluntary).

All skeletal muscle fibres are not alike in structure or function. For example, skeletal muscle fibres vary in colour depending on their content of myoglobin (myoglobin stores oxygen until needed by the mitochondria). Skeletal muscle fibers contract with different velocities, depending on their ability to split Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Faster contracting fibers have greater ability to split ATP. In addition, skeletal muscle fibers vary with respect to the metabolic processes they use to generate ATP. They also differ in terms of the onset of fatigue. Based on various structural and functional characteristics, skeletal muscle fibres are classified into three types: Type I fibres, Type II B fibres and type II A fibers.

Answer 2

the three kinds of muscles are the ff.:

• skeletal muscle- muscles attached to the skeleton. it has a very visible

  striations. its control is voluntary and it is multinucleated.

  its function is for the movement of the body.

• cardiac muscle- muscles which are found in the heart. it has striations. its

  control is involuntary and it is uninucleated. its function is

  to pump blood and to propel it through the entire body.

• smooth muscle- muscles which are found at the hallow walls of the visceral

  body organs. it is non-striated. its control is involuntary

  and it is also uninucleated.

Answer 3

Skeletal: mainly found attached to bones. You can use them voluntarily (for instance, you can choose when to raise your arm).

Smooth: found in the digestive tract. It moves food using peristalsis. Involuntary.

Cardiac: heart muscle. Involuntary.

Answer 4

Striated Skeletal muscle, Striated Cardiac muscle, and Smooth muscle. Striated means striped, and skeletal is most commonly found in the body- attached to bones, cardiac muscle is heart muscle, and smooth muscle is in your intestines, stomach, esophagus, etc. skeletal muscles perform quick reflexive movement, while smooth muscle performs slower processes such as digestion, and cardiac muscle makes your heart pump.

Answer 5

There are a lot of different ways to classify muscles. My guess is that the three types of muscle that are being asked about are skeletal (voluntary) muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.

Answer 6

The Cardiac ,the smooth and the skeletal are the three kinds of muscles in the humman body.

Answer 7

The three types are: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.

Answer 8

Smooth, Cardiac and Skeletal
