Anatomical terminology [edit on Wikidata]

Striated muscle tissue is a muscle tissue that features repeating functional units called sarcomeres. The presence of sarcomeres manifests as a series of bands visible along the muscle fibers, which is responsible for the striated appearance observed in microscopic images of this tissue. There are two types of striated muscle:

• Cardiac muscle (heart muscle)
• Skeletal muscle (muscle attached to the skeleton)
