- Satellite Cell
- tan structure
- Neuromuscular Junction
- Acetylcoline (yellow circles)
- Mitochondria (blue structures)
A flattened, tendinous sheet derived from interwoven fibers of the endomysium, perimysium, and epimysium of skeletal muscle
Aponeuroses
plasma membrane of a skeletal muscle cell (fiber)
Sarcolemma
actin (contractile protein)
Thin myofilament
theory on the mechanism for muscle contraction
Sliding filament theory
connective tissue (deep fascia) encircling many skeletal muscle fascicles
Epimysium
a bundle of many skeletal muscle cells (fibers)
Fascicle
connective tissue encircling a single skeletal muscle fascicle
Perimysium
skeletal muscle cell endoplasmic reticulum
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Junction of a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber
Neuromuscular junction
Myosin (contractile protein)
Thick myofilament
Connective tissue covering surrounding a skeletal muscle cell (fiber)
Endomysium
Contractile protein filaments consisting of mainly actin and myosin
Myofilaments
Bundles of myofilaments found in a single muscle cell
Myofibril
