What else can I help you with?
Is the cardiac muscle smooth?
no, it is branching and striated.
Smooth muscle is characterized by?
The smooth muscle is an involuntary, non-striated muscle. It is divided into two sub-groups: the single-unit and multiunit smooth muscle.
What is a type of muscle that is voluntary and not striated?

What are smooth muscles?
Smooth Muscle contractions are regulated by calcium ions. The smooth muscle differs from skeletal muscle in that its contracts from all sides.
The only type of muscle that is nonstriated?
The only muscle in the body that is non-striated is the smooth muscle. It does not have any visible striations.
What are the key differences in the structure and function of smooth muscle compared to cardiac muscle?
Smooth muscle and cardiac muscle have different structures and functions. Smooth muscle is found in organs like the intestines and blood vessels, and is involuntary. It has a spindle-shaped structure and contracts slowly and rhythmically. On the other hand, cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is also involuntary. It has a branching structure and contracts quickly and continuously to pump blood throughout the body.
What kind of muscle contains cylindrical cells with branching ends?
Skeletal muscle contains cylindrical cells with branching ends. These cells are called muscle fibers and are responsible for voluntary movements in the body. Skeletal muscle is attached to bones by tendons and is striated in appearance.
Where is smooth muscle and what are its functions?
Smooth muscles are an involuntary non-striated muscles. It is divided into two sub-groups; the Single unit (unitary) and multiunit smooth muscle Hope this helps! :)
Where is non-straited muscle found?
Striated muscle is found in cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle, so this leaves non-striated muscle as smooth muscle. Smooth muscle can be found within the walls of blood vessels, GI tract, respiratory tract, bladder, uterus, iris of the eye, and maybe a few more places in the body.
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
What is the function of non-striated muscle?
Smooth muscle, which makes up internal organs, is non-striated and is generally involuntary.
