What are the key differences between striated and smooth muscle in terms of their structure and function?

Striated muscles have a striped appearance due to the arrangement of their fibers, while smooth muscles lack this striped pattern. Striated muscles are voluntary and under conscious control, while smooth muscles are involuntary and work automatically. Striated muscles are found in skeletal muscles, while smooth muscles are found in organs like the intestines and blood vessels.


Muscle that appears banded?

The muscle that appears banded is skeletal muscle. Its banded appearance, known as striations, is due to the arrangement of muscle fibers and the presence of overlapping sarcomeres containing actin and myosin filaments. Skeletal muscle is responsible for voluntary movements in the body.


Are smooth muscles striated or smooth?

Smooth muscles are not striated, unlike skeletal muscles which have a striped appearance due to the arrangement of actin and myosin fibers. Smooth muscles are more uniform in structure and lack the striations seen in skeletal muscles.


Why Skeletal muscle cells appear striated in the light microscope?

Skeletal muscle cells appear striated in the light microscope due to the arrangement of alternating dark (A bands) and light (I bands) striations formed by the alignment of actin and myosin filaments in a repeating pattern. This striated appearance is key to the function of skeletal muscles, allowing them to generate force for movement through the sliding filament mechanism.


What muscle moves bones?

There are three types of muscle in your body: striated, smooth and cardiac. The striated muscle is also called skeletal muscle and it is this type of muscle that moves your joints. Skeletal muscles are attached by tendons to the bones that they act on.
