Muscles appear striped due to the arrangement of myofibrils within muscle fibers, which contain repeating units called sarcomeres. These sarcomeres are made up of overlapping thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments, creating a pattern of light and dark bands when viewed under a microscope. The alternating bands of light and dark give skeletal and cardiac muscles their characteristic striated appearance. This striation is crucial for the contraction mechanism of these muscles.

What are the key differences between striated and smooth muscle in terms of their structure and function?
Striated muscles have a striped appearance due to the arrangement of their fibers, while smooth muscles lack this striped pattern. Striated muscles are voluntary and under conscious control, while smooth muscles are involuntary and work automatically. Striated muscles are found in skeletal muscles, while smooth muscles are found in organs like the intestines and blood vessels.
What kind of muscles are triceps and biceps?

What does the word striated mean?
Striated means striped. Striated muscles are named because they have more than one nucleus per cell. When looking at a section of muscle, the cells are bound together like rope and the nuclei of neighboring cells appear as stripes across the entire tissue.
Why do some muscles appear to run in different directions?
Some muscles appear to run in different directions because that is their inclinations. The direction may be circular or longitudinal.
Why do muscles look smaller after a workout?
Muscles may appear smaller after a workout due to temporary swelling and inflammation caused by the stress of exercise. This can make the muscles appear less defined or "pumped" immediately after a workout.
Compare and contrast between skeletal muscles and smooth muscles?
Skeletal muscles look like long muscle fibers with a nuclei in each one, looks striated or striped. Compared to a smooth muscle that looks like sheets of thin cells each have a nucleus as well but looks smooth.
