Question

write five characteristics of sraited and smooth muscles​

Answer 1

Answer:

smooth muscle

• Smooth muscle fibres taper at both ends (fusiform) and do not  show striations.
• Cell junctions hold them together and they  are bundled together in a connective tissue sheath.

• The wall of internal  organs such as the blood vessels, stomach and intestine contains this type  of muscle tissue.
• Smooth muscles are ‘involuntary’ as their functioning  cannot be directly controlled.

striated muscle

• Skeletal muscle tissue is closely attached to skeletal  bones.
• striated  (striped) skeletal muscle fibres are bundled together in a  parallel fashion.
• A sheath of tough connective  tissue encloses several bundles of muscle fibres.
• 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.
