What else can I help you with?
Most of your muscles are striated skeletal muscles but you also have smooth muscles Which of these organs has a third type a striated kind?
Heart
Where are most of your muscles located?
I believe you mean striated
What are striated muscles marked with?
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.
Why are smooth muscles called smooth?
Smooth muscle is no way connected to the skeleton, example intestine liver etc. Where as striated muscle is connected to skeleton so it is called striated muscle. And the third type of muscle is Cardiac Muscle. --------------------------- Smooth muscle lack the sarcomeres that give skeletal and cardiac muscles their 'striated' appearance. Skeletal muscle isn't "called striated" because it it attached to the skeleton, it is called striated because sarcomeres give muscle a striated appearance. Thus the name, smooth muscle for looking smooth without striation.
What is the most common types of muscles?
Depends on how big a meat-head you are. There are exactly three types of muscle: cardiac (striated, bifurcated and mononucleated), smooth (no striations, multinucleated), and skeletal (striated, multinulceated).
What is the basic functional units of striated muscle fibers?
Basically all of them. When you move anything in your body you are moving muscles, tendons, and your bones. All of the muscles in your body function. Your heart and your diaphragm are your most functional muscles in your body.
Which type of muscle is most frequent in your bodies?
Probably skeletal muscle but smooth muscle would be a close second.
What type of muscle is most used when a person takes a leisurely walk?
Skeletal muscles are typically used the most when a person takes a leisurely walk. These muscles are responsible for voluntary movements like walking and contribute to stability and posture during physical activity.
Which type of muscle is most like cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle, most similar to skeletal muscle which is voluntary and striated.
What muscle helps move food through your digestive system?
Smooth muscle is involuntary tissue. It is not controlled by the brain. Smooth muscle forms the muscle layers in the walls of organs such as the lower part of the esophagus, stomach and intestines.
What type of muscle tissue is voluntarily controlled?
Generally, skeletal muscle is voluntarily controlled and smooth muscle is not. Some structures have a combination of both. For example, the bladder is made up of smooth muscle and consists of some skeletal muscle at the sphincter which is capable of "holding" it until you are ready.
How are the striations of a skeletal muscle produced?
Striations in skeletal muscle are produced by the repeating arrangement of protein filaments called actin and myosin. These filaments overlap in a specific pattern, forming alternating light and dark bands known as striations. When muscles contract, the actin and myosin filaments slide past each other, resulting in the shortening of the muscle and the appearance of the striations.
