unstriated
smoth
somatic nervous system control
skeletal muscle
autonomic nervous system control
caridac and smooth muscle
muscle functions
produce movement, maintain posture + body poistion, stabilise joints, generate heat
muscle properties
electrical excitability, contractility, extensibility, elasticity
wrapping of fibre (individual muscle cell)
endomysium
wrapping of fascicle (bundle of individual muscle cells)
perimysium
wrapping of whole muscle
epimysium
muscle fibre
individual muscle cell
fascicle
bundle of individual muscle cells
whole muscle composition
individual muscle cells, blood vessels, nerves
patterns of fascicle arrangement
circular, convergent, parallel, pennate
types of parallel muscle
straplike and spindle shaed/fusiform
