Skeletal muscle cells are much bigger than cardiac muscle cells. Skeletal muscle fibres are up to 100 micrometers in diameter and several centimeters long while cardiac myocytes are about 15 micrometers in diameter and about 100 micrometers long.

The difference between the structure of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle?

One key difference between cardiac and skeletal muscles is that skeletal muscles are controlled by the nervous system, while cardiac muscles move involuntarily. In addition, cardiac muscles are only found in the heart, while skeletal muscles are found throughout the entire body.
