1. SMOOTH MUSCLE TISSUE consists of small, closely packed fusiform cells that are mononucleated, with the nuclei centrally located. Compared to the other muscle tissue, it has no striations. This tissue is commonly found in the blood vessels, digestive and respiratory tracts, uterus, bladder, and other organs. Its key function is involuntary movements.
2. SKELETAL MUSCLE TISSUE has cells that are multinucleated, cylindrical, long, and striated, with their nuclei in a peripheral location adjacent to the sarcolemma. Its major locations are the muscular system, tongue, diaphragm, eyes, and upper esophagus. The key function of the said tissue is for voluntary movement.
3. CARDIAC MUSCLE TISSUE has cells that are aligned in a branching arrangement, mononucleated, cylindrical, and striated, with its nucleus being centrally located. The cells are linked by adherent and gap junctions at prominent intercalated discs. The tissue’s major location is the heart. Its key function is the automatic or involuntary pumping of blood.

[Additional Information: Histology Art Description]
The 3 types of muscle tissue shown in the illustration above are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth/visceral muscle tissue.
Although not very clear in the drawing, both skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue have striations. On the other hand, smooth muscle tissue lacks this characteristic.
Striated muscle is muscle tissue, marked by transverse dark and light bands, that is made up of elongated fibers.

1. Smooth Muscle Tissue
– A common example of its function of involuntary movement is peristalsis. Peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract. It starts in the esophagus where strong wave-like motions of the smooth muscle move balls of swallowed food to the stomach.
Likewise in the bladder, smooth muscle helps to push out urine.
