Answer 2

Difference between smooth and striated muscle

Explanation:

• While both smooth and striated muscle are found in the human body, smooth muscle is found in the viscera (internal organs), and striated muscle is attached to the skeleton.

• Striated muscle is composed of muscle fibers, made up of thick and thin filaments, but smooth muscle has interconnected cells to form layers.

• Skeletal muscle is involved in voluntary movement, whereas smooth muscle serves for involuntary movement inside the body.

• Striated muscle looks exactly the way it sounds- it is “striated”, with what looks like lines running through it.

• It is usually voluntary, meaning you can control it. It is connected to your skeleton, and striated muscle is what allows you to move.

• Smooth muscle, on the other hand, looks smooth.
