Muscular Tissue Flashcards
Tissue composed of cells differentiated for optimal
use of the universal cell property termed contractility.
Muscle tissue
differentiate mainly by a gradual process of cell lengthening with simultaneous synthesis of myofibrillar proteins.
Muscle tissue
Functional unit of muscle
Sarcomere/Motor unit

Perimysium
a more delicate connective tissue that
surrounds muscle fiber.
