Muscle Tissue Types

Image Description:

An image showing an enlarged image of a callout of the different muscle tissue types (skeletal, cardiac, smooth) in a male.

Cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart, appear striated, and are under involuntary control.

Smooth muscle fibres are located in walls of hollow visceral organs, except the heart, appear spindle-shaped, and are also under involuntary control.

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