The stripes in skeletal muscle are formed by two different sorts of protein that slide over each other making the cell contract.
A skeletal muscle is also known as a striated muscle. When viewed under polarized light or stained with an indicator, alternating stripes of light and dark are visible.
A and I bands
Skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues are both considered as striated, which means that they have light and dark bands.
Striations are light and dark bands on skeletal and caridac muscle fibers. Smooth muscle lacks striations
Skeletal muscle which has microscopic alternating bands of light and dark called striations. Therefore it is striated, voluntary muscle.
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.
cardiac muscle appears striated like the skeletal muscle due to arrangement of contractile proteins
Skeletal muscle appears striated due to the arrangement of the actin and myosin filaments within muscle fibers. The alternating light and dark bands represent the organization of these filaments, creating the striated pattern. This organization is essential for muscle contraction and force generation.
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.
Skeletal muscle tissue is composed of long striated cells with multiple nuclei. These cells are voluntary muscles responsible for body movement and are under conscious control. Skeletal muscle tissue is classified as striated due to its alternating light and dark banding pattern when viewed under a microscope.
Both types of muscles have striations in their cells for greater contraction. These striations are in the form of crossing and alternating light and dark bands.
Striated muscle tissue is marked by transverse dark and light bands, which are made up of elongated fibers. These muscles include skeletal and usually cardiac muscle of vertebrates, and also most of the muscle of arthropods.
