Branched striated fibers joined by intercalated discs and involuntarily controlled
Cardiac muscle tissue
Spindle shaped non straited fibers located in hollow organs and involuntary control
Smooth muscle tissue
Produces movements- stabilize body positions -move substances within body -generates heat; shivering the
Muscle tissue functions
Electrical excitability, contractobilty extensibility elasticity
Muscle tissue properties
Ability to respond to stimuli I
Electrical excitibilty
Ability to contract (shorten)
Contractobilty
Ability to stretch
Extensibility
Ability to return to original shape
Elasticity
A connective tissue that surrounds muscles and consists of 3 layers
Fascia
Outer layer surrounds entire muscle
Epinysuim (fascia layer)
Middle layer; surrounds fascicles (bundles) of muscle fibers
Perimysium (fascia layer)
Inner layer; surrounds individual muscle fibers
Endomysisum (fascia layer)
Attach muscles to bones
Tendons
Flat sheet like tendon
Appneurosis
A muscle fiber consists of smaller muscle fibers known as myofibrlis
Myofiber
Consists of the smallest muscle fibers known as thick and thin myofilaments
Myofibrlis
