The "stripes" in the muscle are called striations. Smooth muscle doesn't have the striations.

What do you call the stripes across a skeletal muscle cell?
Striations
What is an involuntary muscle that has stripes with cells that branch and spread called?
Cardiac (heart) muscle.Cardiac muscle characteristically features stripes (called striations), its cells frequently branch, and it is a type of involuntary muscle (it cannot be consciously controlled). Cardiac muscle fibers are all interconnected (by special cell junctions called gap junctions) as well; this ensures that electrical signals reach all fibers of the heart so that the heart can beat synchronously.Other types of muscle are smooth muscle and skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle has no striations and does not branch, but is also a type of involuntary muscle like cardiac muscle. It is best known for its actions in the gastrointestinal system, where it drives the movement of digested food particles down the tract.Skeletal muscle is striated like cardiac muscle, but does not branch. Muscles that can be consciously controlled are made up of skeletal muscle.
A skeletal muscle cell is also known as a?
A skeletal muscle is also known as a striated muscle. When viewed under polarized light or stained with an indicator, alternating stripes of light and dark are visible.
What do heart muscle cells look like?
The cells of heart muscle are striated (like stripes on a tie) as is skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart. They can contract but also carry an action potential (i.e. conduct electricity), like the neurons that constitute nerves. Some of the cells have the ability to generate an action potential, known as cardiac muscle automaticity. That is they beat on their own and in union with each other.
Which type of muscle tissue has stripes and is a voluntary muscle?
skeletal muscle
What are the types of muscle contraction?
the type that hurts and the type that doesnt hurt
Is the cardiac muscle branched?
No. Smooth muscle and cardiac muscle are two different types of muscle tissue. Smooth muscle does not have striations (or stripes) and is located in the organs. Cardiac muscle is striated (has stripes) and fits together with gap junctions that allow for quick passage.
Skeletal muscle with light and dark stripes?
The stripes in skeletal muscle are formed by two different sorts of protein that slide over each other making the cell contract.

Does most muscle contain a fibers of the same type?
Mostly muscle cells

What type of muscle is associated with type of muscle?
there is a thigh muscle its a skeletal muscle
What is Non-striated involuntary muscle type?
its Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle, so-called because it has no sarcomeres and therefore no striations (bands or stripes). It is divided into two subgroups, single-unit and multiunit smooth muscle. Within single-unit muscle, the whole bundle or sheet of smooth muscle cells contracts as a syncytium. lol i know more than u
Do slugs' coloured stripes mean its poisonous?
No slugs are poisonous, stripes are usually a sign of what type or type gender the slug may be.
Are skeletal muscles striated?
They are striated because striated means kind of stripey and the muscles has stripes of muscle itself.
