Skeletal muscle is also termed voluntary striated muscles. The name " striated" comes from the characteristic cross striations of the muscle fibers when viewed under a microscope.

骨骼肌也称为随意横纹肌。当在显微镜下观察时，肌纤维上可见特征性横纹，" 横纹肌" 的名称就来源于此。

Rhabdomyo refers to striated muscle tissue, or cardiac muscle tissue in this case, so rhabdomyomas are benign tumors of the heart that usually affect the ventricles, and are best considered hamartomas rather than a true neoplasm.

横纹肌指的是条状的肌肉组织，这里就指心肌；横纹肌瘤是良性肿瘤，且通常累及心室，最好被认为错构瘤而非肿瘤。

Striated muscles can be consciously controlled. The ends of these muscles are attached to different bones by connective tissue bands so that when the muscle contracts, one bone moves in relation to the other.

这使得人可以移动整个身体（以走路时为例），或者移动身体的一部分（以弯曲手指为例）。

Like skeletal muscle fibers, cardiac muscle cells have striations. Like smooth muscle fibers, each cardiac muscle cell has only one nucleus and its contraction and relaxation are not under conscious control. Therefore, it is also called involuntary striated muscle.

像骨骼肌纤维一样，心肌细胞也有条纹。像平滑肌纤维一样，每个心肌细胞只有一个核而且其收缩和舒张不受意识控制。因此，它也被称为非随意横纹肌。
