Functions of Skeletal Muscle Tissue

  • Skeletal muscles function in pairs to bring about the co-ordinated movements of the limbs, trunk, jaws, eyeballs, etc.
  • Skeletal muscles are directly involved in the breathing process.

Functions of Cardiac (Heart) Muscle Tissue

  • Cardiac muscle tissue plays the most important role in the contraction of the atria and ventricles of the heart.
  • It causes the rhythmical beating of the heart, circulating the blood and its contents throughout the body as a consequence.

What is cardiac smooth muscle?

There is nothing really called 'cardiac smooth muscle'. Cardiac muscle is striated like skeletal muscle but it is not under your control like skeletal muscle is. It acts more like smooth muscle because of this reason. But we only use the terms smooth muscle, striated (skeletal) muscle or cardiac muscle.
