Question

differentiate between the three type of masicular tissue

Answer 1

The 3 types of muscle tissue are cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart, appear striated, and are under involuntary control. Smooth muscle fibers are located in walls of hollow visceral organs, except the heart, appear spindle-shaped, and are also under involuntary control. Skeletal muscle fibers occur in muscles which are attached to the skeleton. They are striated in appearance and are under voluntary control.

Answer 2

There are four basic types of tissues recognized in higher animals, epithelial, connective, muscular and nerve.  This activity focuses on muscle tissue.  
A muscle is a tissue that performs different functions which cause some sort of movement to take place.  There are three different types of muscle cells: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.

Smooth muscles are composed of elongated, spindle shaped cells and are commonly involved in involuntary motions. Involuntary muscle contractions or motions are those movements that cannot be consciously controlled. 

Skeletal muscles allow movement by being attached to bones in the body.  Skeletal muscles control voluntary movements which can be consciously controlled. Skeletal muscles are made up of cylindrical fibers which are found in the locomotive system.  The nucleus of each cell tends to be toward the edge of each cell and the cells are striated. 


Cardiac muscles are roughly quadrangular in shape and have a single central nucleus.  The cells form a network of branching fibers. The muscles are cross striated and are involuntary.  The muscles are found in the heart.
