The striations seen in skeletal muscle fibers are the result of the alignment of hundreds of myofibrils within each muscle fiber. A myofibril is a cylindrical organelle as long as the muscle fiber. Myofibrils contain bundles of myofilaments, which are actin proteins and myosin proteins. The differences in the thicknesses of the myofilaments accounts for the banding pattern of light and dark striations.

What type of muscle contains striation and involuntary?
Cardiac
Do tendons have striation?
No. It is a term to classify muscle types.
Does the arrangement of myofilaments produces the striation of a skeletal muscle cell?
Yes.
What types of muscle tissue has striation but is involuntary?
Cardiac muscle is a type of muscle tissue that is both striated and involuntary. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart.
Do tendon and ligament have striation?
No.
What are striation?
It was a continental drift .
How can smooth muscle contract if it has no striation or sacromeres?
The proteins that form the visible striations in skeletal and cardiac muscle are not organized the same way in smooth muscle. It contacts in a similar way but much more slowly and in waves. Some of the proteins are different ones but still produce movement.
What would you suspect if you saw long striation on the surface of a rock?
A striation of any length is a sure sign of glacial activity in the past. A striation is formed when a glacier scrapes moraine (load) against the rock face, forming a mark known as a striation. The mark shows that the area was once dominated by glacial activity.
What type of muscles are striation found in?
The alternating A and I bands on the miofibrils.
Is striation erosional or depositional?
it is depositional
Where do you go after you get a fossil in the unova region?
you go to striation city
Is skeletal muscle made of muscle fibers?
Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.
