They develop from '''myoblasts''' to form [[muscle]]s in a process called myogenesis.<ref>Myocytes at the US National Library of Medicine Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)[https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?name=Myocytes]</ref> There are various specialized forms of myocytes: [[cardiac muscle|cardiac]], [[skeletal muscle|skeletal]], and [[smooth muscle]] cells. They have different structures. The striated or striped cells of cardiac and skeletal muscles are called '''muscle fibers'''.<ref name=Dorland/> [[Cardiomyocytes]] are the muscle fibres which form the chambers of the heart. They have a single central nucleus.<ref>{{cite web|title=Muscle tissues|url=http://www.botany.uwc.ac.za/sci_ed/grade10/mammal/muscle.htm|access-date=2018-04-29|archive-date=2015-10-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151013025029/http://www.botany.uwc.ac.za/sci_ed/grade10/mammal/muscle.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Skeletal muscle]] fibers help support and move the body.
