| | Muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Skeletal muscle or "voluntary muscle" is anchored by tendons to bone and is used to affect skeletal movement such as locomotion. | | | Deep muscles, superficial muscles, muscles of the face and internal muscles all correspond with dedicated regions in the brain. | | | Cardiac muscle is also an "involuntary muscle" but it's a specialized kind of muscle found only within the heart. |

| | Muscles |
| | This muscle is found in your intestines and in the iris of your eye. | | | Striped muscle is the muscle (or meat) on you legs arms etc., you have direct control over these muscles and can make almost any movements which you want to. | | | Cardiac muscle contracts and relaxes automatically without you having to think about it. |

| | Smooth muscle is found in the walls of blood vessels, tubular organs such as the stomach and uterus, the iris, or associated with the hair follicles. | | | Cardiac muscle is striated like skeletal muscle which means that it has microscopically visible myofilaments arranged in parallel with the sarcomere structure described above. | | | White muscles contain mostly Type IIB fibers and are specialized for fast, fine movements as in the muscles that move the eye or some hand muscles. |

| | Although equal in ultrastructure to skeletal muscle, the cross-striations in cardiac muscle are less distinct, in part because rows of mitochondria and many lipid and glycogen droplets are found between myofibrils. | | | If the muscle is stretched, the muscle fibres in the muscle spindle are stretched, sensory nerves are stimulated, and a change in contraction of the muscle is perceived. | | | to "sprout", and to re-innervate muscle fibres, which may have lost their innervation as a consequence of an acute lesion to the nerve or a neurodegenerative disorder. |

| | Muscle tissue has a ability to relax and contrast and so bring about movement and mechanical work in various parts of the body. | | | The muscle of the arteries contracts and relaxes to regulate the blood pressure and the flow of blood. | | | Smooth muscle controls slow, involuntary movements such as the contraction of the smooth muscle tissue in the walls of the stomach and intestines. |

| | Shortly after birth (within a few months)most cardiac muscles undergo a change of nucleation from mononucleated to primarily binucleated, and some go on to become multinucleated. | | | Cardiac muscle is a type of striated muscle found within the heart. | | | Unlike skeletal muscle, which contracts in response to nerve stimulation, and like smooth muscle, cardiac muscle is myogenic, meaning that it stimulates its own contraction without a requisite electrical impulse. |
