Question

What is a striped muscle?tell about it briefly.?

Answer 1

Hello!

Striped Muscle: Muscle that is composed of large, elongated cells (muscle fibres), each with many nuclei, in which the cytoplasm is marked by fine lines (striations) at right angles to the long axis. The striations occur because the cytoplasm contains many myofibrils, each of which is made from alternating bands of different material, and the myofibrils lie side by side with the bands aligned. Striated muscles are capable of rapid contraction and are particularly associated with voluntary movements of the skeleton.
