Striated muscle tissue is a form of fibers that have repeating sarcomeres. More specifically, it can refer to:
- Cardiac muscle (cardiac refers to the heart).
- Skeletal muscle
- Branchiomeric muscles (embryologically different from skeletal muscle)
In practice, the term "striated muscle" is sometimes used to refer exclusively to skeletal muscle when distinguishing it from smooth muscle.[1] However, different medical dictionaries report different usages of the terms. Cardiac muscle is a different type of muscle, but has almost the same structure as skeletal muscle.
