straited muscle
skeletal muscle cells have multiple nuclei in each cell.
Smooth muscle tissue has a single nucleus in each cell :)
Smooth muscle tissue.
The stripes in skeletal muscle are formed by two different sorts of protein that slide over each other making the cell contract.
True, each cell has many nuclei just beneath its cell membrane
Each fiber is actually a muscle cell. They are found in bundles that form what we call muscles. These are also called skeletal muscles because when they contract and get shorter, the bones that they are attached to, move. And the bones are part of the skeletal system.
Skeletal muscle is voluntary muscle that moves bones. It has long cells with striations and it is sometimes called striated muscle. Smooth muscle is slow moving, and is not controlled by the mind. It is also has the same functional units as skeletal muscle but it is harder to see. The last is cardiac muscle. This also has striations but they are short rather than long. This muscle is said to be autorhythmic. Each cell can beat on its' own and as a group, they beat together.
Smooth muscle forms a functional syncytium due to the presence of gap junctions that allow electrical signals to pass from one cell to the next, enabling coordinated contractions. Skeletal muscle, on the other hand, does not form a functional syncytium as each skeletal muscle cell (fiber) is innervated individually by a motor neuron and must be stimulated independently.
Cardiac muscle is striated because the only cardiac muscle in your body is your heart and your heart never stops working unless you die.
The organization of contractile proteins into a regular end-to-end repeating pattern of sacromeres along the length of each cell accounts for the striated, or striped, appearance of skeletal muscle in longitudinal section.
1. Like the Skeletal Muscle the Cardiac have cross-striations and contain numerous nuclei. 2. In the apperance you may notice they are both striated 3. “As do skeletal muscle fibers, each cardiac muscle cell contains organized myofibrils” 4. Both the Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle cells have High Force development Also the Website below has alot of information about your question! http://cwx.prenhall.com/bookbind/pubbooks/martinidemo/chapter10/medialib/CH10/html/ch10_8.html Hope i helped :)
