How cardiac muscle fibers differ from the fibrs of skeletal muscle?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Both cardiac and skeletal muscle cells are striated and contract by the sliding filament mechanism. However, cardiac muscles cells are short, fat, branched, and interconnected unlike the long, cylindrical, multinucleate of skeletal muscle fibers.

Is skeletal muscle made of muscle fibers?
Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.
What types of fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.

What is the syncytial arrangement of cardiac muscle fibers?
only skeletal muscle has a syncytial arrangement becausesyncytial means multinucleated and only skeletal muscle is multinucleated.
Skeletal muscle fibers differ from typical cells in that these muscle fibers?
Skeletal muscle fibers differ from typical cells in that these muscle fibers have many nuclei. The skeletal muscle store calcium ions in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
What is the innermost part of the muscle?
There are two types of muscle in the body. The Cardiac Muscle and the Skeletal Muscle. The skeletal muscle is made up of intrafusal and extrafusal fibers. The Muscle Belly is made up entirely of extrafusal fibers (even in the deepest parts). The intrafusal fibers are located throughout the muscle. The cardiac muscle is distinct from skeletal muscle, one of the main differences is the amount of mitochondria it has is increased, and so technically at the deepest part of cardiac muscle is mitochondria (but there are other components as well).
What are similarities between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
cardiac is cardiac and skeletal is skeletal.
Are Skeletal muscles cells are long and cylindrical with many nuclei?
Cardiac muscle fibers
Which of the three types of skeletal muscle fibers is dominant?
The striated is dominate, and cardiac the smallest.
What does it mean if a muscle is striated?
Striated muscle includes cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Skeletal muscle is between bones and is voluntarily controlled. Examples of skeletal muscle are the sternoclydomastoid, biceps, obicularis oris, rectus femoris, etc.
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.
