Biology-> Human biology-> Muscles
To answer this question we need to remember, each type of muscle:
Skeletal muscles are the ones commonly called muscles, are a type of striated muscles, joined to the skeleton, composed of long fibers and polinucleated, on the other hand, smooth muscle is composed of smooth muscle fibers, with thin uniclueated cells (this is one of the main differences along with the fiber type). Finally, cardiac muscle is composed of branched cells with or two nuclei, also as the main character is the presence of intercalated discs a special type of union unique of cardiac muscle.
