The 3 Types of Muscle Tissue

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

The cells of skeletal muscle tissue are long, cylindrical, and are multinucleate, and striated, they move and stabilize the position of the skeleton, guard the entrances and exits to the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts, and protect internal organs. Its differing factor is that its cells are multinucleate

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

Cells are short, branched, and striated, and have a single nucleus, the cells are interconnected with intercalated discs. It is only located in the heart and helps circulate blood within the heart and keeps heart pumping. The differing factor of cardiac tissue is its intercalated discs

Smooth Muscle Tissue

Cells are short and spindle shaped, and are the only non-straited cells, they also have a single nucleus. Smooth tissue helps move food, urine, and reproductive tract secretions. The differing factor of smooth muscle tissue is its spindle shaped cells and being the only non-straited cells.
