When viewed under a microscope, the skeletal muscles appear long and cylindrical with stripes or striations. The striations appear as dark and light bands caused by the regular arrangement of contractile proteins (actin and myosin). The interaction between actin and myosin causes muscle contraction.

Skeletal and cardiac muscles have dark and light bands and are known as striated muscle tissue, while smooth muscles do not have any light and dark bands and are known as non-striated muscle tissue.
