Striations are a key attribute to identify skeletal and cardiac muscle types. Although striations are usually visible in most sections of these muscle types, it can sometimes take a little adjustment of the microscope lighting to see them clearly.
The most prominent striations are due to the A bands, the I bands, and the lines of Z discs. The unit between two Z lines is called a sarcomere. In the A band the proteins actin and myosin are both present whereas the I band contains only actin. Above: Diagram of the unit within a muscle cell that is known as a sarcomere. Above: Diagram of the unit within a muscle cell that is known as a sarcomere. When muscle contracts the sarcomere shortens and the lines of the Z discs move closer together.
