Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Each type has distinct characteristics in terms of structure and control.
Recognize that cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.
Identify the structural characteristics of cardiac muscle: it is striated, meaning it has a banded appearance similar to skeletal muscle.
Differentiate between voluntary and involuntary muscle control: voluntary muscles are consciously controlled, while involuntary muscles operate without conscious control.
Conclude that cardiac muscle is striated and involuntary, as it operates without conscious control to maintain the heartbeat.
