Muscular Tissue Flashcards
- The nucleus of skeletal muscle is found:
- This arrangement is known as?
- along the edges of the cell
- Peripheral nuclei
Groups of muscle cells/fibers known as:
Fasicle
Insertion (I)
More moveable point of muscle attachment
3 types of muscle cells:
1) Smooth 2)Cardiac 3)Skeletal
Muscle of movement:
Skeletal muscle
Origin (O)
less moveable point of muscle attachment
What is the pupose of peripheral nuclei in skeletal muscle cells?
Provides ample room inside the cells for fibers that cause contraction
what controls skeletal muscle?
Somatic division of nervous system
what does skeletal muscle attach to?
Skin, skeleton, or other muscles
Muscular tissue
cells that have the ability to contract
2 kinds of ways muscles are anchored onto the body:
- Tendon
- Aoneurosis
Cells that have many nuclei are known as:
Multinuceate cells
Muscle cells that are found in the heart walls
cardiac muscle
Prime mover:
Main muscle that does most of the action
Connective tissue that surrounds each muscle cell:
Endomusium
