(N/A) The differences between the three types of muscles are as follows:
$1$. Striated (Skeletal) Muscles: These are cylindrical,unbranched,and multinucleated cells with light and dark bands (striations). They are attached to bones and are responsible for voluntary movements.
$2$. Unstriated (Smooth) Muscles: These are spindle-shaped,uninucleated,and lack striations. They are found in the walls of internal organs like the stomach,intestines,and blood vessels,and are responsible for involuntary movements.
$3$. Cardiac Muscles: These are cylindrical,branched,and uninucleated cells with faint striations. They are found exclusively in the walls of the heart and are responsible for the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the heart throughout life.
