what is actin
thick filaments
what is myosin
prominent junction between myocardial cells
what is intercalate disc
junctions that helped to attach muscle cells together
what is intercalated disc
connective tissue that covers individual muscle fibre/cell
what is endomysium
connective tissue that surrounds each fascicle (bundle of muscle fibres)
what is perimysium
outermost layer of connective tissue that surrounds entire muscle
epimysium
found in capillaries and small venules. control blood flow. capable of contraction. “stem cells”
what is pericytes
epithelial cells with contractile contractile actin filaments and are capable of contraction, under nervous control. basally located
what is myoepithelial cells
key ID features on H&E preps of skeletal muscle
long nucleus, elongated
key ID features on H&E preps of cardiac muscle
striated, branched, shorter muscle cells. single central nucleus. large, square to round
