Striated muscle is so called because when viewed in a microscope bands of light, bark and medium darkness are seen. This occurs because of the very organized structures of the two protein filaments actin and myosin. Muscles with the filaments organized in a fashion that produces striation are the skeletal muscles and the cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle also have actin and myosin but they are not sin the same way so no striations are seen.
What else can I help you with?
Muscle that is attached to stapes?
The stapedius muscle is attached to the stapes. It is the smallest striated muscle in the human body.
What are two kinds of muscle tissues?
Two types of muscle in the human body are striated muscle. Striated means "striped" and is the type of muscle that moves the body. Smooth muscle does not have the striped appearance and is not under conscious control.
Approximately half of human body weight is composed of what kind of muscle tissue?
Approximately half of the human body weight is composed of skeletal muscle that is voluntarily controlled. It is also referred to as striated muscle.
Is cardiac muscle a striated muscle?
Cardiac muscle is striated because the only cardiac muscle in your body is your heart and your heart never stops working unless you die.
Non striated muscle and location in the body?
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.
Which muscle tissue concerns with locomotion of the body as a whole?
Skeletal muscle
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 type of tissue is the skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is a striated muscle used to control movement of specific body parts
What nervous system controls the skeletal muscle contractions?
The central nervous system supplies the body and muscle contraction. Striated muscle (skeletal muscle) contract voluntary with exception of the heart which is striated involuntary 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 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 is the location of the lower trap insertion in the human body?
The lower trapezius muscle inserts on the spine of the scapula, which is located on the upper back of the human body.
