Match each type of muscle with the correct description of its structure.

cardiac - has intercalated disks; generally uninucleated skeletal - cells are multinucleated; fibers run the length of the muscle smooth - cells are spindle-shaped, each with a single nucleus

What is the principle purpose of the muscular system? create movement defend the body control movement frame the body

create movement
