Q

What is the difference between a myocyte vs. a myofiber?

A
  • A myocyte is a single muscle cell while a myofiber is composed of a series of myocytes aligned end-to-end to produce a directionally-uniform contractile force (more-or-less).
  • In the case of skeletal muscle myofibers, the multiple myocytes fused to form a single myofiber.
  • But with cardiac and smooth muscles, the myocytes remain distinct and require intracellular adhesions to transmit forces throughout the myofiber.
