Striated muscle tissue is a muscle tissue that features repeating functional units called sarcomeres.The presence of sarcomeres manifests as a series of bands visible along the muscle fibers, which is responsible for the striated appearance observed in microscopic images of this tissue.
The deltoid muscle is the muscle [1] forming the rounded contour of the human shoulder.It is also known as the 'common shoulder muscle', particularly in other animals such as the domestic cat.
