Description: Long, cylindrical, multinucleate cells; obvious striations. Skeletal Muscle Tissue is composed of long cells called muscle fiber that have striated appearance.
Function: Voluntary Movement, Locomotion, Manipulation of environment, facial expressions, and voluntary control
Location: In skeletal muscles attached to bones or occasionally to skin.
Description: Smooth muscle tissue is known as āinvoluntary muscleā It consist of narrow spindle-shaped cells with a single, centrally located nucleus. No Striations.
Function: Propels substances or objects (food stuff, urine, a baby) along internal passageways; involuntary control
Location: Mostly in the walls of hollow organs (digestive, respiratory, reproductive tracts, blood vessels), Arrector pili, pupil of the eye, and etc.

Description: Cardiac Muscle Tissue is a specialized, organize type of tissue that only exist in the heart. It is involuntary control. Striated.
Function: Cardiac Muscle tissue works to keep your heart pumping and blood circulating around the body.
Location: The walls of the heart.
