One obvious similarity is that they are all muscles. This means that they all have actin and myosin which works together to contract a muscle. All types of muscles use this method to make something move.
In skeletal muscle, the contraction allows the bone to move, thereby allowing your body to move. In the heart, the cardiac muscle pumps the blood into the arteries. The smooth muscles in blood vessels are used to pump blood in one direction (in veins, which is in low pressure, there are valves which prevents backflow). The smooth muscles in digestive organs use the muscle to move the food through the digestive track, or the alimentary canal.
What else can I help you with?
How is smooth muscle significantly different from striated muscle?
Smooth muscle shortens and stretches to a greater extent than does striated muscle.
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.
What are the differences between smooth and striated muscle?
Here we are talking about the surface of the muscles..... Smooth muscles have smooth surface while striated muscles have rough surface.....
What type of muscle is invoulntary and not striated?
smooth muscle. stomach
Is the cardiac muscle smooth?
no, it is branching and striated.
What are the differences between smooth muscle and striated muscle in terms of their structure and function?
Smooth muscle and striated muscle differ in their structure and function. Smooth muscle lacks striations and is found in organs like the intestines and blood vessels, where it contracts involuntarily. Striated muscle, like skeletal and cardiac muscle, has a striped appearance and is under voluntary control. Skeletal muscle is responsible for movement, while cardiac muscle pumps blood throughout the body.
What muscle cell type is striated and involuntary?
Skeletal muscle is striated and voluntrary. Smooth muscle, as is found around the blood vessels and in many organs, is not striated and involuntary. The heart (cardiac muscle) is the only place you have striated involuntary muscle.
Is the tongue made of smooth muscle?
no..only skelet muscle.....
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.
What muscle is striated superiorly and smooth inferiorly?
The esophagus
Smooth and striated are terms that can be used to describe?
Muscle.
Which type of muscles is not straited?
Smooth muscle is not striated.
