MODULE 2B : MUSCULAR TISSUE Flashcards
Cell membrane of myoblasts
SARCOLEMMA
Cytoplasm of myoblasts
SARCOPLASM
Multinucleated, nuclei are located at the periphery of the cell. Cross-striations are present
SKELETAL MUSCLE CELL
Embryonic origin of muscle cells
MESENCHYMAL CELL
Polygonally-shaped cells under cross section
SKELETAL MUSCLE CELL
Connective tissue coverings of skeletal muscle cells
COLLAGEN TYPE I & TYPE III
Connective tissue that surrounds the skeletal muscle bundle
EPIMYSIUM
Characteristic of Epimysium
DICT
Fascicle of muscle fiber
PERIMYSIUM
Muscle fiber is called
ENDOMYSIUM
Striations in muscle fibers are caused due to what alternating structures?
A BANDS & I BANDS
I bands are divided by what structure?
Z LINES
A series of sarcomeres that run the length of the muscle fiber is called
MYOFIBRIL
Region where myosin exists
H BANDS
Region where only actin exists
I BAND
Basic structural and functional unit of skeletal muscle
SARCOMERE
Moves the tropomyosin to expose the actin-binding site for myosin heads to form bridges
TROPONIN
Large protein, binding the A-band to the M and Z lines
TITIN
