Skeletal/ striated muscle

• Long, striated, multinucleated, formed of myofibrils, mitochondira, and other organelles within the cytoplasm.

• Makes up the heart muscle. Branched, striated cells with one or two centrally located nuclei.

• long, tapered cells with centrally placed nuclei. Occupies the walls of organs with cavities (viscera) and serve to propel the contents along the length of those cavities by slow, sustained, often powerful, rhythmic contractions. Acts as gates in specific sites.
