Muscle Types and Sliding Filament Quiz with Explanations
- Cardiac Muscle: Found only in the heart, with short branching fibers. It is non-striated and involuntary.
- Skeletal Muscle: Responsible for voluntary movement; striated.
- Smooth Muscle: Nonstriated and involuntary, found in organs like the digestive tract and blood vessels.
Additional Quiz Information
