- skeletal
- cardiac
- smooth
which types of muscle tissue is striated?
skeletal, cardiac
which type of tissue is involuntary?

organization of skeletal muscle
- muscle tissue
- CT
- nerves
- blood vessels
3 layers of CT within skeletal muscle
- epimysium
- perimysium
- endomysium
Epimysium
surrounds entire muscle
Perimysium
surrounds fascicles (bundles of fibers)
Endomysium
surrounds individual fibers
