(P) Lec 3.2: Muscular Tissue Flashcards
PPT-based
part of the cytoplasm
sarcoplasm
part of the cell membrane and external lamina
sarcolemma
part of the ribosomes
sarcosomes
part of the the smooth ER
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
All muscle cells are derived from
Mesoderm
cross-striations and cylindrical/elongated with blunt ends muscle cell with diameters of 10-100 μm.
Skeletal Muscle
T or F. The cardiac muscle is referred to as “fiber”
F (skeletal)
Large numbers of parallel skeletal muscle fibers are grouped into?
fascicles or bundles—arrangement
The nuclei (of skeletal muscle) are found at the periphery or eccentric under the?
sarcolemma (cell membrane surrounding a skeletal muscle fiber)
contraction is quick, forceful, and usually under voluntary control.
SKELETAL
external sheath of dense connective tissue that encloses the entire muscle
epimysium
A thin septa of dense connective tissue that immediately surrounds each bundle of muscle fibers termed a fascicle
Perimysium
Delicate layer of loose connective tissue (fibers and scattered fibroblasts) that surrounds the external lamina of individual muscle fibers; INSIDE THE FASCICLE
endomysium
the functional and structural unit of contraction in skeletal muscle; extends from Z disc to Z disc
Sarcomere
dark bands are called the
A band or anisotrophic bands
they are doubly refractile or birefringent under polarized light
A band or dark banks
they do not alter polarized light
light bands or I bands
center of the A band is a pale zone termed
H band
