cardiac and skeletal muscles have one thing in common, that is they are both striated in contrast to the smooth muscles commonly found in the GIT. however the main difference between them is that cardiac muscles function involuntarily while skeletal muscles are under conscious control. --thoughtfulobserver

∙ 14y agoBoth cardiac and skeletal muscle are forms of striated muscle. Cardiac muscle is an involuntary form of striated muscle, however. Microscopically, cardiac muscle fibers are branched, with intercalated discs between an individual cell and its neighbors, while skeletal muscle cells are not branched and do not have intercalated discs.

What are similarities between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
cardiac is cardiac and skeletal is skeletal.
What is the difference between the three muscle tissues?
The differences are that one is smooth, one is cardiac, and another is skeletal.
Explain the difference between the two types of skeletal muscle tissue?
Skeletal muscle tissue differs from cardiac tissue in that skeletal muscles are striated muscles that require conscious stimulation to act, and cardiac muscles are smooth and basically run "automatically".
The difference between the structure of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle?
One key difference between cardiac and skeletal muscles is that skeletal muscles are controlled by the nervous system, while cardiac muscles move involuntarily. In addition, cardiac muscles are only found in the heart, while skeletal muscles are found throughout the entire body.
What are the primary tissue type?
Cardiac, smooth and skeletal.
Skeletal and cardiac muscles are this?
Both skeletal and cardiac muscles are striated muscles.
What are the 3 kinds of muscle?
Skeletal, Smooth and Cardiac
Both skeletal and cardiac muscles are this?
Both skeletal and cardiac muscles are striated muscles.
What are the 3 subtypes of muscle tissue?
Striated,smooth,and skelital cardiac, skeletal, and smooth
What are the 3 main types of muscles?
Skeletal, smooth, cardiac
What qualities do cardiac and skeletal muscles share?
Both cardiac and skeletal muscles have striations
What is the difference between skeletal muscle cardiac muscle?
Sketal muscle is the stuff that pulls your bones around and lets you stand, walk, etc. Cardiac muscle is only present in the heart, and takes much longer to get tired.
