Each fiber is an elongated cell with many nuclei. Within each fiber are myofibrils composed of thick and thin filaments made of protein. The regular arrangement of these filaments gives striated muscle its striped appearance.

Each skeletal muscle fiber has many bundles of myofilaments. Each bundle is called a myofibril. The myofilaments of a myofibril are arranged in a regular fashion so that their ends are all lined up. This is what gives the muscle its striated appearance.

An external lamina and a reticular fiber network surround smooth muscle cells, and the cells may be arranged in layers, small bundles or helices (in arteries). Within the cell's cytoplasm, mitochondria, RER and the Golgi complex are concentrated around the central nucleus.

GO:0042692 muscle cell differentiation ... The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a cardiac muscle cell. Cardiac muscle cells are striated muscle cells that are responsible for heart contraction. The ventricle is the part of the heart that pumps blood out of the organ.
