What type of muscle is striated in appearance?

The methods of locomotion performed by animals vary with their habitats and the demand of the situation, but the main purpose is to search for food, shelter, mate, suitable breeding grounds, favourable climatic conditions, or to escape from enemies/predators.Muscle is a specialised tissue of mesodermal origin. About 40-50% of the body weight of a human adult is contributed by muscles.Muscles have special properties like excitability, contractility, extensibility and elasticity..Skeletal muscles are known as voluntary muscles because their activities are under the voluntary control of the nervous system.Skeletal and cardiac muscles both exhibit striation under the microscope and are therefore striated in appearance.
