muscle
fascicle
muscle fiber / cell
Connective Tissue wrappings
Muscle (epimysium)
Fascicle (perimysium)
Muscle Fiber (endomysium)
Sarcolema
plasma membrane
myoglobin
oxygen storage
glycosome
glycogen / glucose storage
Sarcoplasmic Rediculum
fluid filled membrane channels that are wrapped around the myofibrils
T tubules
ingavinations of the sarcolemma, forms a closed tunnel system throughout the uscle that contains Extracellular fluid
triad
junction of T tubule with the SR on each side
I band
where there are two thin filaments
*straddles 2 sacromeres
Z line
arrays of thin filaments are attached to one end
H zones
portion of the A band that does not have thin filaments
A band
where there is some overlap of thin and thick filaments
