There are three types of muscle tissue. Cardiac, which is the heart. Striated, or skeletal muscles and smooth muscle tissue. The smooth muscles create waves that move food down the esophagus and through the intestines. The wave motion is called peristalsis.

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 muscles cells called?

Muscle cells are called muscle fibers or myocytes. They are specialized cells that make up the three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle fibers are long and striated, cardiac muscle cells are branched and striated, while smooth muscle cells are non-striated and spindle-shaped. Each type of muscle cell has distinct functions suited to its specific location and role in the body.


What is a type of muscle that is voluntary and not striated?

There is none. The only type of non-striated muscle is smooth muscle and smooth muscle is involuntary muscle.


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 the difference between striated and non striated muscles?

straited produces movements and unstraited do not. straited are multinucleated and unstraited are uni-nucleated. straited has straitions of regular white and black band and unstraited is simple and smooth. striated muscle are voluntary while non -striated muscles r involuntary.. striated muscle r control by nervous system while non - striated muscles are control by chemical control system . striated muscles show rapid action while non- striated muscles show slow n steady action of work :) :)


Non-striated and involuntary are terms used to describe which type of muscle?

Smooth Muscle


Which type of muscle tissue contains striations?

Striations are cause by pooling of blood after death in the direction of where the body originally was before being moved.My answer would be....The arrangement of myofilaments(actin/ myosin) on a myofibril produce the striations of a skeletal muscle cell . Also myofibrils align to give distinct bands. :)Hope that helps :D


What is the difference between visceral muscle and skeletal muscle?

1) skeletal muscle is voluntary 1) visceral muscle is involuntary 2) it is striated . 2) it is non striated 3) highly organized muscle. 3) less organized muscle


Which muscle type is nonstriated?

the smooth muscles are non striated,we have smooth muscles in many areas of the body,especially in the wall of digestive system organs.


What is the role of the non striated muscle in the stomach?

The non-striated muscle in the stomach, known as smooth muscle, plays a crucial role in the process of digestion. It helps to propel food along the digestive tract through a coordinated contraction and relaxation mechanism called peristalsis. This movement allows for the mixing and breakdown of food, as well as the controlled release of food into the intestines for further digestion and absorption.


What what cell is not striated?

Smooth muscle cells are not striated. Unlike skeletal and cardiac muscle cells, which have a striped or striated appearance due to their organized arrangement of actin and myosin filaments, smooth muscle cells have a more uniform, non-striated appearance. These cells are found in the walls of hollow organs, such as the intestines and blood vessels, and are responsible for involuntary movements.


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.
