splanchnic mesoderm
types of muscle tissue
skeletal
cardiac
smooth
muscle fibers
elongated
only skeletal and smooth
skeletal muscle
attach to bones or skin
single, very long, cylindrical, multinucleate with striations
voluntary
contract rapidly, tire easily, powerful
skeletal muscle tissue
packaged into skeletal muscles; organs that are attached to bones and skin
skeletal muscle fibers
longest of all muscle and have striations
terminology
muscle fiber = muscle cell
syncytium = multinucleate
sarco = meat
epimysium
dense irregular CT surrounding entire muscle; may blend with fascia
perimysium
fibrous CT surrounding fascicles
endomysium
fine areolar CT surrounding each muscle fiber
muscle fiber
sarcolemma sarcoplasm myofibrils sarcoplasmic reticulum T tubules
sarcolemma
muscle fiber plasma membrane
sarcoplasm
muscle fiber cytoplasm
contains many glycosides for glycogen storage, myoglobin for O2 storage
myofibrils
densely packed rodlike elements
accounts for approx. 80% muscle fiber volume
myofibril features
striations
sarcomeres
myofilaments
striations
stripes formed from repeating series of dark and light bands along length of each myofibril
A band
dark regions
H zone
M line
thick and thin filament
