Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The general characteristics of muscle tissue.

Introduction:

The tissues of muscle are comprised of elongated muscle fibers. According to the function and location, muscle tissues are categorized as skeletal muscle tissue, smooth muscle tissue, and cardiac muscle tissue.

Skeletal muscle tissue is voluntary muscle tissue which can be controlled. The cells of this tissue are striated. It forms the muscle which is attached to bones such as, trunk, limbs, and head.

Smooth muscle tissue is a type of involuntary muscle tissue which cannot be controlled. The cells of this tissue are nonstriated. The walls of hollow internal organs such as intestines, urinary bladder, urethra, and stomach are comprised of smooth muscle tissue.

Cardiac muscle tissue is a type of involuntary muscle tissue which cannot be controlled The cells of this tissue are branched and striated. Cardiac muscles are found only in the heart.
