lab 2 muscle Flashcards
Three types of muscle
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
The skeletal and cardiac muscle have been stained with ____ in order to emphasize the ____
phosphotungstic acid
banding pattern
Skeletal muscle cells are ____
Where are the nuclei located within the cell?
multinucleate
outside of cell
Compare the striations with those of skeletal muscle. Are they the same?
not really
both striated but cardiac muscles can be branched forming angles, intercalated discs transfer electrical impulses
cardiac muscle cells are ____and have a ___ nucleus.
branched
single, centrally located
What is the name of the things in between cardiac cells
intercalated discs
Smooth Muscle is____shaped and contains ____ nucleus.
spindled
one centrally located
Smooth muscle tissue is often bordered by ___ which is rich in ___
connective tissue
collagen
Difference between smooth muscle and connective tissue
Collagen is markedly eosinophilic (pink because it stains with eosin) and has a refractile/shiny quality.
Smooth muscle appears dull in comparison and its eosinophilia is tarnished by a slight purplish haze.
cardiac muscle
cardiac muscle
