Which type of muscle is voluntary?
Skeletal muscle
What are the 3 types of muscle tissue?
Cardiac, smooth, skeletal
What types of muscle are involuntary?
Cardiac, smooth
This type of muscle tissue is multinucleated.
Skeletal muscle tissue
What type of muscle tissue is not striated?
Smooth muscle tissue
What type of muscle tissue has intercalated discs?
Cardiac muscle tissue
Muscles have 3 layers of connective tissue, which are ___________.
Epimysium, perimysium, endomysium
How does a skeletal muscle fiber form?
Throughout the fusion of numerous myoblasts (mesodermal cells). The cytoplasm s fuse, but nucleuses stay individuals. That’s why muscle tissue is multinucleated.
__________ are responsible for muscle contraction.
Myofilaments
What are the 2 types of myofilaments?
Thin and thick filaments
What are thin myofilaments made out of?
Actin
What are thick myofilaments made out of?
Myosin
True of false: a triad is made by 1 T tubule and 2 terminal cisternae.
True
Myofibrils are made up of bundles of protein filaments called ___________.
Myofilaments
How does muscle contraction begin?
Cisternae release Ca^2+ into sarcomeres
The cell membrane of a muscle fiber is called _________.
Sarcolemma
