Striated muscle

Japanese: 横紋筋 - おうもんきん
Striated muscle
A muscle made up of striated muscle fibers. As opposed to smooth muscle. When viewed under a microscope, muscle fibers have fine stripes running horizontally. These are called striations. All skeletal muscles are striated, but even visceral cardiac muscles are striated. Striated muscles can contract more quickly than smooth muscles. → Muscle
