Examples of striated in the following topics:
-
- Muscle tissue can be classified functionally, voluntary or involuntary and morphologically striated or non-striated.
- Morphologically skeletal myocytes are elongated and tubular and appear striated with multiple peripheral nuclei.
- As with skeletal muscle cardiac muscle is striated, however it is not consciously controlled and so is involuntary.
- Smooth muscle is non-striated, although it contains the same myofilaments they are just organised differently, and involuntary.
- Cardiac and skeletal muscle are both striated in appearance, while smooth muscle is not.
-
- Skeletal muscles are voluntary and striated in nature that allow movement of an organism by the deliberate generation of force.
- Skeletal muscle is striated, multinucleate, and involuntary.
- It is generally uninucleate, but is striated.
- Cardiac muscle is striated, similar to skeletal muscle, but beats involuntarily.
-
- Cardiac muscle appears striated due to the presence of sarcomeres, the highly-organized basic functional unit of muscle tissue.
- Cardiac muscle, like skeletal muscle, appears striated due to the organization of muscle tissue into sarcomeres.
-
- The esophageal tube in humans is comprised of two main layers of smooth muscle, though striated muscle comprises the tube near the pharynx.
-
- The external urethral sphincter is a striated muscle that allows voluntary control over urination by controlling flow of urine from the bladder into the urethra.
-
- The muscles it controls are the striated muscle in the levator palpebrae superioris and all extraocular muscles, except for the superior oblique muscle and the lateral rectus muscle.
-
- Cardiac muscle tissue is also striated (forming protein bands) and contains tubules and gap junctions, unlike skeletal muscle tissue.
-
- Serum response factor (SRF) plays a central role during myogenesis, being required for the expression of striated alpha-actin genes.
