how do you distinguish between a skeletal muscle and Cardiac muscle
Answers
Cardiac muscle is involuntary and found only in the heart. Skeletal muscle is striated in regular, parallel bundles of sarcomeres. Cardiac muscle is striated, but the bundles are connected at branching, irregular angles called intercalated discs. Skeletal muscle tissue is about 15% denser than fat tissue.
Answer:
Cardiac and skeletal muscle are both striated in appearance, while smooth muscle is not. Both cardiac and smooth muscle are involuntary while skeletal muscle is voluntary. ... Cardiac muscle is also an involuntary muscle but is more akin in structure to skeletal muscle, and is found only in the heart.
While skeletal muscles are arranged in regular, parallel bundles, cardiac muscle connects at branching, irregular angles, called intercalated discs. Striated muscle contracts and relaxes in short, intense bursts, whereas smooth muscle sustains longer or even near-permanent contractions.
