Skeletal muscle also called as voluntary muscle, is anchored to bone by tendons and is used to effect skeletal movement in activities such as locomotion and maintaining posture
Muscle associated with heart is called cardiac muscle is also an involuntary muscle but is more akin in structure to skeletal muscle
Both cardiac and skeletal muscles are striated, they contain sarcomeres and are packed into highly regular, repeating arrangements of bundles
Skeletal muscle do no have gap junctions because they are not single cells
The gap junctions, which are protein-lined tunnels, allow direct transmission of the depolarizing current from cell to cell, across the chambers of the heart, so that the cells contract in unison
Because of the way these gap junctions function, the cardiac muscle cells are said to be electrically coupled
