Muscular Tissue Flashcards
muscle tissue types
skeletal
cardiac (heart)
smooth
characteristics of skeletal muscle tissue
-striated
-elongated cells
-multinucleated cells
-voluntary
characteristics of cardiac (heart) muscle tissue
-striated
-branched cells
-1-3 central nuclei
-involuntary
characteristics of smooth muscle tissue
-nonstriated
-single central nucleus
-involuntary
are quiet complex and as well find out, they are a marvel of both biology and physics.
muscles
the ability to receive and respond to a stimulus
excitability
the ability to shorten forcibly when adequately stimulated. this is defining property of muscle tissue.
contractility
the ability to be stretched
extensibility
the ability to recoil and resume original length after being stretched
elasticity
are dominated by muscle tissue but also contain nervous, vascular and assorted connective tissue.
skeletal muscle organ
it is known as sarcolemma
Muscle fiber PM
muscle fiber cytoplasm is known as?
sarcoplasm
muscle fiber PH is known as?
sarcolemma
has invaginations that penetrate through the cell called transverse tubules or T tubules
sarcolemma
it has lot of mitochondria, lot of glycogen granules as well as myofibrils and sarcoplasmic reticuli.
sarcoplasm
