Myofibrils
Epimysium
Three functions of muscle tissue
Transverse tubules
H band
Sarcolemma
Zone of overlap
Z lines
Sarcomere
Triad
Center of A band at midline of sarcomere
Area around M line which contains only thick filaments
Store nutrient reserves such as glycogen, support soft tissues, maintain body temperature
Strands of protein which reach from tips of thick filaments to the Z line and help to stabilize the thick and thin filaments
Layer which surrounds muscle fascicles and provides blood vessels and nerves to tissue
Layer which surrounds individual muscle cells and contains myosatellite cells (stem cells) that repair damage
cell membrane of a muscle fiber which surrounds the sarcoplasm
A structure formed by one T tubule and two terminal cisternae which concentrates and releases Ca2+.
exterior collagen layer which separates muscle from surrounding tissues
transmit action potentials through the cell and help the muscle fiber to contract simultaneously.
Central nervous system (brain and spinal cord)
Muscle fibers, connective tissues, nerves, blood vessels
Sheet of connective tissues at ends of muscles
Bundle of connective tissues at ends of skeletal muscles
lines at centers of the I bands
Contractile units of muscle
Area where thin and thick filaments converge
A membranous structure surrounding each myofibril which forms chambers (terminal cisternae) attached to t-tubules
Lengthwise subdivisions within muscle fiber which are made of myofilaments
mesodermal cells which fuse to produce skeletal muscle fibers.
