Question

how is cardiac muscle is similar to both striated and unstriated muscle - give reason

Answer 1

Cardiac muscle is a kind of muscle found in the heart.

Explanation:

• Cardiac muscle, commonly known as the heart muscle or myocardium, is one of the three kinds of muscular tissue found in vertebrates.

• The cardiac muscle tissue forms the muscle that surrounds the heart.

• The electrical impulses from the neurological system cause this muscle to grow and contract.

• This muscle is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.

• Cardiac muscle has both striated and Unstriated muscular characteristics.

• Its cylindrical form and strong vascularity make it similar to striated muscle.

• Dark and light bands alternate in both cardiac and striated muscle.
• It's similarly comparable to Unstriated muscle in that they're both tiny, uni-nucleated, and involuntary muscles.

Answer 2

Cardiac muscle is similar to both striated and unstriated muscle based on its size, structure and functions.

• Explanation: Cardiac muscle, which is also called the heart muscle or the myocardium falls under the three types of vertebrate muscle tissue.

• The muscle surrounding the heart is formed by the cardiac muscle tissue.
• This muscle expands and contracts in response to the electrical impulses from the nervous system.
• This muscle performs the function of pumping blood all through the body.
• Cardiac muscle has got the properties of both striated and unstriated muscle.
• It is similar to striated muscle as both are cylindrical in shape and highly vascular.
• Both cardiac and striated muscles have alternate dark and light bands in them.
• It is also similar to unstriated muscle as they both are smaller in size, uni-nucleated and involuntary.
