A myocyte (also known as a muscle cell) is the type of cell found in muscle tissue.
Myocytes are long, tubular cells. They develop from myoblasts to form muscles in a process called myogenesis.
There are various specialized forms of myocytes: cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells. They have different structures. The striated or striped cells of cardiac and skeletal muscles are called muscle fibers.
