Question

Explain with the help of diagram 3 difference between the three
types of muscular tissue

Ayyagari Ramlal · Accepted Answer

Dear Student,

Striated muscle
cells
Smooth Muscle
cells
Cardiac muscle
cells

Also known as striped, voluntary or skeletal
muscles
Also known as un striped, unstriated, involuntary
or visceral muscles
Striated and involuntary muscles

They are long and cylindrical
without tapering ends
They are elongated and
spindle shaped with tapering ends
They are long, cylindrical
and branched to form a network

Intercalated discs are
absent
Intercalated discs are
absent
Intercalated discs are
present at the junction of the cell membranes of adjacent
cells

Found attached to the skeleton and arranged in
bundles Hence, they are known as skeletal muscles
Found in the walls of the stomach, intestine, ducts
of the glands, walls of arteries etc Hence,they are known as
visceral muscles
Found in the walls of the heart hence,

Multinucleated with the nuclei found in the
periphery
Uninucleate with the nucleus found in the centre of
the cell
Uninucleate with centrally placed nucleus

Myofibrils show prominent light and dark bands
Hence,they are called striped or striated muscles
Myofibrils do not show light and dark bands Hence
they are called un striped or unstriated muscles
Myofibrils show dark and light bands which are
faint and less prominent

Capable of quick and sustained contraction,which is
under the control of our will Hence they are known as voluntary
muscles
Capable of slow and rhythmic contractions,which are
not under the control of our will Hence they are known as
involuntary muscles
Capable of continuous rhythmic and autonomic
contraction, which is not under the control of our will

The figure shows the three types of muscular tissue that is
Striated, smooth and cardiac muscle tissues
