Q

whats the structure of an epithelium tissue?

A

supported by basement membrane which consists of simple (single) or stratified (multiple) layer of cells. this membrane consists of network blood vessels (provide O2 & nutrients to cell for absorption) and secretory epithelia (specialised to secrete substances - proteins)

Q

what is myogenesis

A

process of development of muscle fibres - causes embryonic development

35
Q

where do muscle fibres form from

A

fusion of myoblasts into myotubes

36
Q

what’s the process of myogenesis

A

embryonic -> myoblasts -> myotubes -> myofibres

37
Q

what are muscle fibres

A

cylindrical stands of contractile proteins (microfibrils)

Q

what can myofibril be broken down into

A

sarcomeres (segments) - contain bundles of parallel actin & myosin

39
Q

what do the actin & myosin filaments do?

A

slide in-between each other allowing muscle contraction & shortening of sarcomere
