What are the 3 different muscle types?

The 3 different types of muscle are smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle is located on the walls of hollow organs, cardiac muscle is located on the wall of the heart, and skeletal muscle is located on skeletal muscle organs (most organs). Their functions include movement in walls of hollow organs, pumping of blood, and movement of bones, heat production and posture, respectively. Cardiac and smooth muscle are involuntary, whereas skeletal muscle is voluntary. Both cardiac and skeletal muscles have striations, but smooth muscle does not.


Muscle tissue that shows no striations?

Smooth muscle tissue, also known as non-striated muscle, is found in the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines and blood vessels. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle lacks the characteristic striped pattern (striations) due to its different structure and organization of contractile proteins. Smooth muscle is involuntary and contracts slowly and rhythmically to perform functions like moving substances through the body.
