Question

With the help of a diagram, show the differences between the three types of muscle fibers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The three types of muscle fibres are striated muscles, smooth muscles (unstriated muscle fibre), and cardiac muscles.

The muscles which we can move by conscious will is called striated muscles. The cells of this tissue are long, cylindrical, unbranched and multinucleate.

Smooth muscles are those which we cannot move by our conscious will. The cells of this tissue are long with pointed ends and uninucleate.

The muscles of the heart are called cardiac muscle. These cells are cylindrical, branched and uninucleate
