Question

Give three differences between striated, unstriated and cardiac

muscles.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Striated muscles Unstriated muscles Cardiac muscles

The end of these cells is blunt. These cells have tapering ends. These cells have flat and wavy ends.

Answer 2

Striated muscles:

• Striated muscles are closely associated with the skeletal components of the body.
• Striated muscles are also known as voluntary muscles, skeletal muscles.
• As their activities are under the voluntary control of the nervous system, they are known as voluntary muscles.
• Theses muscles are normally attached to the skeleton.

Non striated muscles:

• Non striated muscles are located in the inner walls of hollow visceral organs of the body like the alimentary canal, reproductive tract etc.
• They do not exhibit any striation and are smooth in appearance.
• Non striated muscles are also known as smooth muscles, Involuntary muscles and visceral muscles.
• Their activities are under the voluntary control of the nervous system and are therefore known as involuntary muscles.

Cardiac muscles:

• Cardiac muscles are muscles of the heart.
• Many cardiac muscle cells assemble in a branching pattern to form a cardiac muscle.
• Cardiac muscles are striated in appearance and are involuntary in nature as the nervous system does not control their activities directly.
• A cardiac muscle cell is cylindrical, unnucleate, striated and branched.
