Skeletal muscles: packed together, attach to, and cover the skeleton. obvious striations. VOLUNTARY muscles. contract rapidly but TIRE EASILY. responsible for overal body motility. extrememly adaptable (can exert forces from only onces to 70 lbs)

Cardiac (myocardial): only in the heart. striated and NOT VOLUNTARY. contracts at a steady rate. contolled by nervous system and bodily changes. ONCE YOU LOSE IT, ITS GONE FOR GOOD. CAN'T FATIGUE. has to have stimulus great enough to stimulate all of the muscles of none will contract (where as skeletal muscles can be forced into twiches where only a small part of the muscle will contract)

What are the key differences between skeletal and cardiac muscle in terms of their structure and function?

Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and help with movement, while cardiac muscles are found in the heart and help pump blood. Structurally, skeletal muscles have long, cylindrical fibers with multiple nuclei, while cardiac muscles have branching fibers with a single nucleus. Functionally, skeletal muscles are under voluntary control, while cardiac muscles contract involuntarily.
