Why Skeletal muscle cells appear striated in the light microscope?
Mrow?
If the letter p is placed under the microscope in the normal reading position what orientations of the letter would the viewer see?
There are mirrors in the microscope, which cause images to appear upside down and backwards. So a letter p would appear as a letter d through the microscope eyepiece.
What are the components of the striations in striated and cardiac muscles?
Yes, they are. While skeletal muscles are arranged in regular, parallel bundles, cardiac muscle connects at branching, irregular angles. Anatomically, the muscle fibers are typically branched like a tree branch. In addition, cardiac muscle fibers connect to other cardiac muscle fibers through intercalcated discs and form the appearance of a syncytium (continuous cellular material). These intercalcated discs, which appear as irregularly-spaced dark bands between myocytes (muscle cells), are a unique feature of cardiac muscle .
How do things appear under a microscope?
Everything under a microscope is upside down and backwards
How would the letter e look under a microscope?
If you're using a compound light microscope (as you most likely are), it will appear to be upside down when you look through the objective lens. The lenses of the microscope provide an inverted image. As the magnification is increased, the clean lines of the letter will appear ragged where the ink was absorbed into the paper. These small imperfections are practically invisible to the unaided eye.

How does cardiac muscle resembles skeletal muscle?
Hi this is an advert for an advert, if you would like to advertise visit, advert@advert.advert.advert.com for all your advert needs! They are both striated muscles, and are both not tapered at the ends.
What causes skeletal and cardiac muscles to appear striated?
The myofibres cause skeletal and cardiac muscles to appear striated because they are cyndrical and long, extending across the entire surface of the muscle.
What are the muscles that are striped and used to move bones?
The muscles that appear striped in microscope images are called skeletal muscles. All skeletal muscles are attached to bones of the body.
Is Heart made up of striated or non striated muscles?
Heart muscle is striated but not in the same way that skeletal muscle is. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart.Cardiac and skeletal muscle are similar in that both appear to be striated in that they contain sarcomeres. In striated muscle, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle, the actin and myosin filaments each have a specific and constant length on the order of a few micrometers, far less than the length of the elongated muscle cell (a few millimeters in the case of human skeletal muscle cells).The filaments are organized into repeated subunits along the length. These subunits are called sarcomeres. The sarcomeres are what give skeletal and cardiac muscles their striated appearance of narrow dark and light bands, because of the parallel arrangement of the actin and myosin filaments.However, cardiac muscle has unique features relative to skeletal muscle. For one, the myocytes are much shorter and are narrower than the skeletal muscle cells, being about 0.1 millimeters long and 0.02 millimeters wide .Furthermore, while skeletal muscles are arranged in regular, parallel bundles, cardiac muscle connects at branching, irregular angles.Anatomically, the muscle fibers are typically branched like a tree branch. In addition, cardiac muscle fibers connect to other cardiac muscle fibers through intercalcated discs and form the appearance of a syncytium (continuous cellular material).These intercalcated discs, which appear as irregularly-spaced dark bands between myocytes, are a unique and prominent feature of cardiac muscle .
Which type of muscle moves contents through hollow organs such as the intestines?
Something called smooth muscle moves the walls of all hollow organs except the heart. The muscle is called smooth because the microscopic subunits called sacromeres are not in any special arrangement. Skeletal muscle is called striated muscle because these units are in a uniform arrangement that appear as striations when seen under the microscope.
Compare and contrast between skeletal muscles and smooth muscles?
Skeletal muscles look like long muscle fibers with a nuclei in each one, looks striated or striped. Compared to a smooth muscle that looks like sheets of thin cells each have a nucleus as well but looks smooth.
When moving the slide left on a microscope which direction does it appear it is moving in?
A microscope inverts and transposes an image. A move left will therefore appear to move right through the eyepiece.
Three types of muscle and give an example for them?
Cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscles.the three types of muscle in the body: cardiac (heart), skeletal (biceps, quadriceps etc.), and smooth muscle (found in the intestinal tract such as stomach and colon).
What is the involunrary in the human body?
Involuntary muscles are either nonstriated or striated. They are found in the walls of hollow organs, in your eyes and around your hair follicles. Cardiac or heart muscle cells appear striated under a microscope because of the large number of contractile proteins in the cells. Smooth muscles are involuntary because they contract through stimulation from your nervous system, without you actively controlling their movement. Hope it answers your question :-)
Is it possible to see a ribosome through a light microscope?
Yes, they appear as small black dots.
