Students have asked these similar questions

Skeletal muscle cells cannot divide. How does skeletal muscle repair itself when injured?

Cardiac and skeletal muscle are both “striated” types of muscle and yet they have very distinct functional characteristics. a) Skeletal muscle functions as discrete motor units and the cardiac muscle works as a functional syncytium. Define the italicized terms in the previous sentence, explain their importance, and describe the cellular features that underlie these functional differences. b) Cardiac muscle exhibits automaticity, while excitation of skeletal muscle is neurogenic. Define the italicized terms and provide a brief explanation of mechanisms underlying each.

Please answer both questions 1) Which of the following components of skeletal muscle tissue is absent from smooth muscle tissue? a) sarcoplasmic reticulum b) t-tubules c) myofibrils d) regulatory proteins 2) Cell-to-cell communication is possible in smooth muscle tissue due to the absence of: a) troponin. b) sarcomeres. c) endomysium. d) striations.
