There is also cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. They are both involuntary muscles.
There are three types of muscles. Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are the only ones you can voluntarily control.
skeletal muscle
They are striated because striated means kind of stripey and the muscles has stripes of muscle itself.
skeletal muscle
skeletal muscles
Skeletal muscle tissueVoluntary or skeletal muscles contains long non branching cylindrical cells.
Muscle tissue. Cardiac: the muscles in or related to the heart Skeletal: muscles that you can voluntarily control, such as your biceps Smooth: muscles in or around your organs, which cannot be voluntarily controlled (ie. the muscles in your stomach or intestines)
all muscles pull on bones to create movement, since muscles are contractile and bone is rigid. the muscle attaches to the bone via the tendon.
The zygomaticus is a skeletal muscle, and as such is a 'striated' muscle. It is also a parallel muscle. It functions in chewing, and is therefor one of the 'Masticating' muscles.
Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. The other two types of muscle are smooth and striated (skeletal) muscle.Cardiac muscle, the third kind of muscle (the other two being skeletal and smooth muscle.
The biceps and triceps muscles are examples of skeletal or striated muscle.
There are three types of muscles in the body, smooth, skeletal and cardiac. The only place you'll find cardiac muscle is in the heart.
