This post will discuss the difference between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle.
| Cardiac Muscles | Skeletal muscles | |
| Found | Cardiac muscles are found in the heart only | Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones of the whole body. |
| Cardiac muscles are self-stimulant.
| these do not a self- stimulant. | |
| It has an intermediate speed of contraction and energy requirement | It has a high speed of contraction and energy requirements. | |
| It is responsible for performing the non–voluntary muscular movement. | These are responsible for performing voluntary muscular movements. | |
| These muscles are shorter in length. | These muscles are longer in length. | |
| These are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. | These are controlled by the somatic nervous system. | |

| These work to pump blood throughout the body. | These work to get the body moving such as walking, running, and writing. | |
| Gap junctions are present in these muscles. | Gap junctions are absent in these muscles. | |
| These muscles have UninucleatedCell. | These muscles have multinucleated cells. | |
| It has dense Endomysium. | It has less dense Endomysium. | |
| Their contraction speed is comparatively less. | Besides, contraction speed is comparatively fast. | |
| Its neural contracts occur without stimulation. | Its neural contracts occur with stimulation.
| |
| These muscles are not bound collectively. | These muscles are tightly bound collectively. | |
| It contains fewer T-tubules. | These muscles contain more T-tubules. | |
| These muscles consist branch chain of cells. | It consists of long cylindrical cells. | |
The difference between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle is a common question in many examinations. Thus, students should know about it. Besides, it is general knowledge as well. People should know about it to develop their physical health as well.
