Forms the main bulk/flesh of the human body
MUSCULAR TISSUES
Function of muscular tissue
contractility
TYPES OF MUSCLES
- Striated
– Skeletal muscle (voluntary)
– Cardiac muscle (involuntary) - Smooth muscle (involuntary)
- Contractile filaments (actin and myosin)
Bundles of very long, cylindrical, multinucleated cells that show cross-striations.
SKELETAL MUSCLE [VOLUNTRAY]
Muscles attach to the skeleton
SKELETAL MUSCLE [VOLUNTRAY]
striated, voluntary
SKELETAL MUSCLE [VOLUNTRAY]
long, broad tubular muscle fiber
SKELETAL MUSCLE [VOLUNTRAY]
contains cylindrical filaments called myofibril (smaller unit of muscle fiber)

CONNECTIVE TISSUE INVESTMENTS
EPIMYSIUM
PERIMYSIUM
ENDOMYSIUM
surrounds entire muscle
EPIMYSIUM
surrounds muscle bundles or fascicles (smaller unit of muscle bundles)
PERIMYSIUM
Encloses the muscle fiber
ENDOMYSIUM
Composes the muscle fascicle
ENDOMYSIUM
surrounds individual muscle cells
ENDOMYSIUM
Reticular fibers and external lamina
ENDOMYSIUM
Long, cylindrical, multinucleate
SKELETAL MUSCLE CELLS
Sarcoplasm, sarcolemma with T (transverse) tubules
SKELETAL MUSCLE CELLS
long cylindrical filament bundles
MYOFIBRILS
Parallel to the long axis of the fiber
