Enlist two structural differences between three types of muscles found inside the human body

Q- Enlist two structural differences between three types of muscles found inside the human body.

Answer- We all know that there are three types of muscles found inside human body. These three are as follows:

1. striated muscle

2. unstriated muscle

3. Cardiac muscle

Striated Muscle:

1. Striated Muscles are located in the limbs and tongues e.t.c. .

2. Striated Muscles are multinucleated.

3. Striated Muscle contracts rapidly but soon undergo fatigue.

4. Striated Muscle undergo rapid and voluntary contractions.

Unstriated muscle (Smooth):

1. Unstriated muscles are located in visceral organs.

2. Unstriated muscle are uninucleated.

3. Unstriated muscle contracts slowly but are non-fatigue.

4. Unstriated muscle undergo slow and involuntary contractions.

Cardiac Muscle:

1. Cardiac Muscles are located in myocardium of heart.

2. Cardiac Muscles are uninucleated.

3. Cardiac Muscle contracts rhythmically but are non-fatigue.

4. Cardiac Muscle undergo rapid and rhythmic contractions.
