Muscles and Their Types -

  • Muscle is a specialised tissue of mesodermal origin. 
  • About 40-50 percent of the bodyweight of a human adult is contributed by muscles.
  • They have special properties like excitability, contractility, extensibility and elasticity.
  • Muscles have been classified using different criteria, namely location, appearance and nature of regulation of their activities. 
  • Based on their location, three types of muscles are identified : 
    • (i) Skeletal 
    • (ii) Visceral and 
    • (iii) Cardiac

 

Cardiac Muscles:

  • Cardiac muscles are the muscles of the heart.
  • Many cardiac muscle cells assemble in a branching pattern to form a cardiac muscle. Based on appearance, cardiac muscles are striated. 
  • They are involuntary in nature as the nervous system does not control their activities directly.
