    This document discusses the three main types of muscles in the human body: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is voluntarily controlled. Smooth muscle is located in organs like the digestive tract and contracts slowly involuntarily. Cardiac muscle makes up the walls of the heart and contracts involuntarily in response to stimuli. Each type of muscle has distinguishing characteristics like appearance, location in the body, and voluntary or involuntary control.

    MUSCLE

    SKELETAL
    MUSCLE
    Skeletal muscle fibres
    occur in muscles which are
    attached to the skeleton.They
    are straited in appearance and
    are under voluntary control.

    SMOOTH MUSCLE
    Smooth

    muscle fibres are


    located in walls of hollow
    visceral organs, except the
    heart, appears spindleshaped and are also under
    involuntary control.

    CARDAIC MUSCLE
    Cardiac

    muscle cells are


    located in the walls of the
    heart, appear straited, and
    are under involuntary control.

    Skeletal
    muscles/Striated
    muscle

    Elongated, have
    Muscles in the upper
    striations, voluntary,
    arms, biceps and
    numerous
    triceps.
    mitocondria are seen,
    undergo early fatigue,
    contract suddenly.

    Smooth muscles or
    Non striated muscles

    Spindle shaped
    muscle, no striations,
    involuntary, contract
    slowly without special
    stimuli.

    Digestive tract,
    urinary bladder,
    uterus, blood vessel.

    Cardiac muscles

    .Have transverse
    striations,
    involuntary, contract
    according to stimuli.
