What is location of striated muscle in human body?
Harsimratkaurmundra
Striated muscle is so called because when viewed in a microscope bands of light, bark and medium darkness are seen. This occurs because of the very organized structures of the two protein filaments actin and myosin. Muscles with the filaments organized in a fashion that produces striation are the skeletal muscles and the cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle also have actin and myosin but they are not sin the same way so no striations are seen.

∙ 13y agoStraited muscle describes the "striped" appearance of almost all muscles that produce movement. So, the location would be throughout the body. Another type of muscle in the body is called smooth muscle because it lacks the parallel fibers causing the stripes.

∙ 13y agoThere are 2 types of muscle, Smooth involuntry muscle, in organs you can't control, such as the heart.
The other type of muscle is, Striated Skeletal Muscle,which is found in the muscles you can control, like the arms and legs.

∙ 8y agoStriated muscle includes cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Skeletal muscle is between bones and is voluntarily controlled. Examples of skeletal muscle are the sternoclydomastoid, biceps, obicularis oris, rectus femoris, etc.

Muscle that is attached to stapes?
The stapedius muscle is attached to the stapes. It is the smallest striated muscle in the human body.
What are two kinds of muscle tissues?
Two types of muscle in the human body are striated muscle. Striated means "striped" and is the type of muscle that moves the body. Smooth muscle does not have the striped appearance and is not under conscious control.
Approximately half of human body weight is composed of what kind of muscle tissue?
Approximately half of the human body weight is composed of skeletal muscle that is voluntarily controlled. It is also referred to as striated muscle.
Is cardiac muscle a striated muscle?
Cardiac muscle is striated because the only cardiac muscle in your body is your heart and your heart never stops working unless you die.
Non striated muscle and location in the body?
There are three types of muscle tissue. Cardiac, which is the heart. Striated, or skeletal muscles and smooth muscle tissue. The smooth muscles create waves that move food down the esophagus and through the intestines. The wave motion is called peristalsis.
Which muscle tissue concerns with locomotion of the body as a whole?
Skeletal muscle
Where in the body is skeletal muscle found?
The skeletal muscle is all the voluntary striated muscle that is attached to bones throughout the body.
What type of tissue is the skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is a striated muscle used to control movement of specific body parts
The only type of muscle that is nonstriated?
The only muscle in the body that is non-striated is the smooth muscle. It does not have any visible striations.
What nervous system controls the skeletal muscle contractions?
The central nervous system supplies the body and muscle contraction. Striated muscle (skeletal muscle) contract voluntary with exception of the heart which is striated involuntary smooth muscle.
Which type of muscle tissue contains striations?
Striations are cause by pooling of blood after death in the direction of where the body originally was before being moved.My answer would be....The arrangement of myofilaments(actin/ myosin) on a myofibril produce the striations of a skeletal muscle cell . Also myofibrils align to give distinct bands. :)Hope that helps :D
What type of muscle are the biceps?
Skeletal - Skeletal muscle is the muscle that is attached to the skeleton across joints. It is under voluntary control as we decide when to contract them and produce movement. Skeletal muscle is arranged in rows of fibres and is also called striated, or striped, due to its appearance. The co-ordinated contractions of skeletal muscles allow us to move smoothly and produce sports skills. There are over 700 skeletal muscles in the human body and they make up around 40% of our bodyweight. Skeletal muscle is responsible for the following functions:-Producing movement-Maintaining body posture-Generating heat to keep us warm-Storage of glycogen for energy
