Question

Differentiate between striated, unstriated and cardiac muscles
on the basis of their structure and site/location in the body

Meetu Misra · Accepted Answer

Striated muscle

Unstriated muscle

Cardiac muscle

On the basis of structure:

Cells are cylindrical

Cells are long

Cells are cylindrical

Cells are not branched

Cells are branched

Cells are multinucleate

Cells are uninucleate

Alternate light and dark bands are present

There are no bands present

Faint bands are present

Its ends are blunt

Its ends are tapering

Its ends are flat and wavy

On the basis of location:

These muscles are present in body parts such as hands, legs,
tongue, etc

These muscles control the movement of food in the alimentary
canal, the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels, etc

These muscles control the contraction and relaxation of the
heart
