what are the parts of nervous tissue?
Nucleus
cell body
dendrites
axon
What does skeletal muscle do?
moves the skeleton
what does smooth muscle do?
moves the organs
what does cardiac muscle do?
contracts the heart
Describe skeletal muscle tissue
Obvious striations (cross-hatched pattern)
multiple nucleated nuclei
Describe smooth muscle tissue
not striated
spindle shaped cells
elongated nuclei
adipose + epithelial tissue surrounds
Describe cardiac muscle tissue
less obvious striations
cell is smaller in diameter
larger, oval-shaped nuclei
Branching - pockets between branching fibers
Why is subscapularis not visible in posterior view of scapula?
It can only be seen in the anterior view of the body

flexor carpi ulnaris
palmaris longus
flexor carpi radialis
where would flexor digitorum superficialis be located on superficial, anterior view of forearm?
flexor digitorum superficialis would be deep to the superficial muscles of the anterior forearm
what is unique about the structure of flexor digitorum superficialis?
It has multiple tendons that extend into the digits
