'''Striated muscle''' is a form of fibres that are separated into parallel fibres.<ref>{{Dorlands|m_22|12547787}}</ref> More specifically, it can refer to:
* [[Skeletal muscle]]
* [[Cardiac muscle]]
In practice, the term "striated muscle" is sometimes used to refer exclusively to skeletal muscle when distinguishing it from [[smooth muscle]].<ref>{{eMedicineDictionary|Striated+muscle}}</ref> However, different medical dictionaries report different usages of the terms. Cardiac muscle is a different type of muscle, but has almost the same structure as skeletal muscle.
