What are the visible bands in cardiac and skeletal muscle called?
Visible bands in cardiac and skeletal muscle are called striated muscles.
Skeletal muscle cells are striated that is they have alternating dark and light bands called repectively?
A and I bands
Dark bands in skeletal muscle that contributes to its striated appearance?
They are known as "A band"
Muscle that appears banded?
Muscle tissue whose cells have a banded appearance are classified as being striated. The two types of striated muscles tissue are the cardiac muscle tissue and the skeletal muscle tissue.
What type of muscles are striation found in?
The alternating A and I bands on the miofibrils.
What do striations muscles look like?
Striations are light and dark bands on skeletal and caridac muscle fibers. Smooth muscle lacks striations
What type of muscle tissue allows you to move your extremities?
Skeletal muscle which has microscopic alternating bands of light and dark called striations. Therefore it is striated, voluntary muscle.
Two muscular tissues that show light and dark bands?
Skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues are both considered as striated, which means that they have light and dark bands.
What are the striated appearance of skeletal muscle fiber is mainly due to?
cardiac muscle appears striated like the skeletal muscle due to arrangement of contractile proteins
When a muscle fiber contracts the you bands diminish in size the h zones disappear and the a bands move closer together but do not diminish in length true or false?
True
What does the cardiac muscle look like?
It depends on the type of muscle. We have three kinds, smooth, cardiac, and skeletal. The skeletal ones are called striated because they have bands that divide the smallest contracting units called sarcomeres. Skeletal muscles look much like long cords, cardiac are 'Y' or 'H' shaped, and smooth muscle are spindle shaped.
Which type of muscle tissue contains striations?
Striations are cause by pooling of blood after death in the direction of where the body originally was before being moved.My answer would be....The arrangement of myofilaments(actin/ myosin) on a myofibril produce the striations of a skeletal muscle cell . Also myofibrils align to give distinct bands. :)Hope that helps :D
