Muscle Tissue Flashcards
What is the function of muscle
contraction
what is found in their cytoplasm
contractile fibres - also the cytoplasm
what is the force produced by
movement of the actin fibres over the myosin fibres
what are the types of msucle cells
skeletal
cardiac
smooth
what is myoepithelial cells
epithelial cells which have muscle like properties
what are myofibroblasts
connective tissue with contractile elements
what is pericytes relating to
vessels
what are myoepithelial cells associated with + example
secretory units of the exocrine glands
~ salivary or memory glands
what is the shape of myopeithlial
flattened cells
what does the myopeithelial contain
protein arrnagmenet similar to smooth muscle
what is myofibroblasts like charasertically
fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells
what is the number of myofibrilblasts like normally
few in number
what happens to myofibrilblasts during injury
what happens at the end
they englarge and proliferate and secrete cologne to provide a scaffold
they contract the wound
pericytes are found where
capillaries and venules
what do pericytes act like
stem cells
what do pericytes control
capillary diameter by contractile properties
what muscle types have straitions
skeletal and cardiac
branching of different muscles
skeletal - unbranched
cardiac - branched
smooth - branched
what is the skeletal msucle nuclei like
size, shape , location
long
oval
in the peripheral part
what do the cells look like for skeletal muscle
long cylindrical multinucleted cells
what is the siize of skeletal muscle
10 - 100um
1000 - 200000 um length
where does differeination of skeletal muscle start
mesenchymal cells (myoblasts) of mesoderm
what happens to the myoblasts for skeletal muscle
align and fuse together to make long multinucated myotubes
what happens to myotubes - skeletal muscle
syntehise proteins that make up the myofilament and begin to show strations
what happens to further development of the myofilaments - skeletal muscle
the nulcei dispalce peripherally against the sarcolemma
how are satellite cells formed
some of the myoblasts population does not fuse or differenatie but remains mesenchymal cells
where do these satellitecells locate themselves
external surface but inside the developing external lamina
what is the function of satellite cells
proliferate and produce new muscle fibres after injrury
What is the organisational levels of skeletal muscle
scaromoere - myofibril - muscle fibre - one facile - one muscle
what is the functional unit of skeletal muscle
sarcomere
what is a fasicle
muscle fibres boundled together
what is eipmysium
surrounds whole muscle
perimysium
surrounds single fasicle
enomysium
sourrinding a single muscle fibre
