You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.
Smooth muscle cells are long, spindle-shaped cells with a central nucleus. Plant fibers are elongated cells with thick cell walls that can be either round or polygonal in shape, depending on the plant species.
Yes, the esophagus is lined with a layer of smooth muscle fibers that help transport food from the mouth to the stomach through a process known as peristalsis. These muscle fibers contract and relax to push food downward.
All three types of muscles are composed of muscle fibers that contract in response to nerve signals. They are all involved in movement and support the body's structure. Additionally, they each contain proteins called actin and myosin that are responsible for muscle contraction.
The specialized cells in the muscular system are called muscle fibers. These cells have unique structures that allow them to contract and generate force, enabling movement. Muscle fibers can be further classified into different types, such as skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells, each with specific functions and characteristics.

No. Cardiac muscle fibers.
smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscle
False
Yes, skeletal muscle fibers contain sarcomeres, which are the repeating units responsible for muscle contractions. In contrast, smooth muscle fibers do not have sarcomeres in the same organized structure but still have contractile proteins.
Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.
The striations in muscle fibers are caused by the arrangement of contractile proteins within the fibers. These proteins, primarily actin and myosin, overlap and interlock in a regular pattern, giving the muscle fibers a striped appearance when viewed under a microscope.
Smooth Muscle Fiber
Muscle fibers can be smooth or striated. Smooth muscle is often involuntary and line the blood vessels and gastrointestinal tract. Striated muscles may be voluntary, such as skeletal muscle, or involuntary such as cardiac muscle.
The type of muscle described is smooth muscle. Smooth muscle is involuntary, has single-ovoid nuclei, and contains slow-twitch fibers with spindle-shaped cells. It is found in organs such as the digestive tract and blood vessels.
