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?

The stripes across a skeletal muscle cell are called myofibrils, which are made up of repeating units called sarcomeres. Sarcomeres are responsible for muscle contraction and are composed of thick and thin filaments that give the muscle its striped appearance.


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.

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.

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
