[L. from striare, to groove]
Skeletal voluntary muscle and cardiac muscle. The name derives from the striped appearance, which reflects the arrangement of contractile elements.

The striated appearance of the muscle fiber is created by a pattern of alternating
dark A bands and
light I bands.

Skeletal (striated) muscle fibers, shown in Figure 11, have alternating bands perpendicular to the long axis of the cell. These cells function in conjunction with the skeletal system for voluntary muscle movements.

Both the cross-striated and smooth muscles, with the exception of a few that are of ectodermal origin, arise from the mesoderm.

Cardiac Muscle (striated) Cardiomyocytes are a highly specialized cell type. These involuntarily contracted cells are located in the heart wall and operate in concert to develop synchronized beats.

costa Prominent striated rod in some flagellate protozoa that courses from one of the kinetosomes along the cell surface beneath the recurrent flagellum and undulating membrane.
costal Pertaining to a rib.

Skeletal muscle (striated): Unlike cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle can develop a sustained condition known as tetany through high frequency stimulation, resulting in overlapping twitches and a phenomenon known as wave summation.

Skeletal Muscles / Striated Muscles
Skeletal muscles are usually attached to bones. They are often called striated muscles, because of their striated, or striped appearance.

See twitch muscle, catch muscle: cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is a striated but involuntary muscle responsible for the pumping activity of the vertebrate heart.

The striated or skeletal muscle is under voluntary control and is the major "effector" organ of our bodies. It and the glands (endocrine and exocrine) carry out all the commands of the nervous and endocrine (communication) systems.

This group, the glossopterids, produced a distinctive leaf type (classified under the leaf-genus Glossopteris) as well as a unique, striated, bisaccate pollen type.

Actin A highly conserved protein found in all eukaryotes; in striated muscle, it forms the thin filaments of the sarcomere and activates the atpase of myosin.
