It depends on the type of muscle. We have three kinds, smooth, cardiac, and skeletal. The skeletal ones are called striated because they have bands that divide the smallest contracting units called sarcomeres. Skeletal muscles look much like long cords, cardiac are 'Y' or 'H' shaped, and smooth muscle are spindle shaped.

What is cardiac smooth muscle?
There is nothing really called 'cardiac smooth muscle'. Cardiac muscle is striated like skeletal muscle but it is not under your control like skeletal muscle is. It acts more like smooth muscle because of this reason. But we only use the terms smooth muscle, striated (skeletal) muscle or cardiac muscle.
Which type of muscle is the heart made of?
cardiac
Which type of muscle is most like cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle, most similar to skeletal muscle which is voluntary and striated.
How is cardiac muscle and muscle muscle similar to both smooth?
Cardiac muscle tissue, like skeletal and smooth muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy.Unlike both smooth and skeletal muscle, cardiac muscles have cells that branch.
What Cardiac Muscle makes up what organ?
Cardiac muscle is made of cardiac muscle cells. Cardiac muscle is under the control of the autonomous nervous system and is not susceptible to fatigue

How is cardiac muscle similar both muscle smooth and skeletal muscle?

What is the muscle tissue found in the heart?
Smooth cardiac muscle.
Muscle tissue that has intercalated disks?
cardiac muscle cells are joined by intercalated disks.
How do you describe the cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle. The cells of cardiac muscle have only one nucleus. The layer of the heart that contains cardiac muscle is called the myocardium.
What cells make up the myocardium?
Most of the myocardium is composed of cardiac myocytes.
