Summary
Although all three types share some common characteristics, there are also important differences which will be individually discussed below. Cardiac muscle will be more fully described in Chapter 14. A summary table is provided in Figure 13.1 highlighting the differences between the muscle types and should be referred to in concert with the fuller descriptions.
