SKELETAL STRIATED (CROSS-STRIATED) MUSCLE TISSUE
longitudinal section
     Stained with haematoxylin and eosin

Longitudinally cut muscle fibers are shown;
cross-striations are seen along the fibers;
nuclei are located at peripheral parts of the fibers.

SKELETAL STRIATED MUSCLE TISSUE
transverse section
     Stained with iron haematoxylin

1 - longitudinally cut muscle fibers
2 - transversely cut muscle fibers
3 - cytoplasm of the muscle fiber (sarcoplasm)
4 - nuclei of the muscle fiber
