-
A form of programmed cell death induced by external or internal signals that trigger the activity of proteolytic caspases, whose actions dismantle a striated muscle cell and result in its death. Striated muscle cells make up striated muscle fibers which are divided by transverse bands into striations. [CL:0000737, GOC:dph, GOC:mtg_apoptosis, GOC:tb]
