Skeletal Muscle Tissue Flashcards
Epimysium
A sheath of fibrous tissue surrounding a muscle.
Perimysium
The sketch of. One time tissue surrounding. Bundle of muscle fibers.
Endomysium
Sheath that covers muscle fiber.
Muscle fascicle
A bundle of skeletal muscle fibers surrounded by perimysium.
Aponeurosis
Wide fibers tissue that takes the place of a tendon in sheet like muscles.
Myosatellite
Precursors to skeletal muscle cells
Myoblast
An embryonic cell that becomes a cell of muscle fiber.
Muscle fiber
A form of striated muscle tissue which is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system.
Sarcolemma
Sheath the envelops the fibers of skeletal muscles.
Sarcoplasm
The cytoplasm of started muscles cells.
Myofibril
Any of the elongated contractile threads found in striated muscle fibers.
Myofilaments
Filaments of myofibrils constructed from proteins, myosin and actin.
Thick filaments
Primarily myosin.
Thin filaments
Actin
Sarcomere
A structural unit of a myofibril in striated, consisting of a dark band and the nearer half of each adjacent pale band.
