Striated Muscle Fiber

Muscle fibers are found throughout the human body, and aid in movement and ability. There are three main types of muscle, them being skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and striated muscle. Although the photo can be used for all three, I am referring to Striated Muscle Fibers in the cardiac region. Striated muscle can consist of both skeletal and cardiac muscle. They also can be voluntary, like moving your arm, or involuntary, such as your heartbeat. The striated muscle is separated from the other types, because of the presence of the proteins that compose the muscle itself.
