Muscle Images Flashcards
Myofilaments are composed of:
actin and myosin
Myofibrils are composed of:
many myofilaments
Myofibers are composed of:
many myofibrils
myofibers = muscle cells
Fascicles are made up of:
many myofibers (muscle cells) muscle tissue consists of many fascicles
The three layers of connective tissue found in muscle and their locations:
- Endomysium: surronds myofibers
- Peromysium: surrounds fascicles
- Epimysium: surrounds muscle (several fascicles)

Label this diagram of a myofilament:
What type of muscle is this?
skeletal muscle
- Peripheral nuclei
- Cylindrical, long, unbranched fibers
Label all and type of muscle:
Label all:
- outlined by green = fascicle
- green line = perimysium
- outline by blue = myofiber
- blue line = endomysium
Label all:
skeletal muscle
Label all and type of muscle:
skeletal muscle
Label all:
Label all:
between = myotendon junction
Label. What is this structure?
myotendon junction in skeletal muscle
Label. What is this structure?
Location of stem cells (satellite cells) in skeletal muscle:
- underneath the basment membrane
- stem cells have a central nucleus and very little cytoplasm
Label all:
What is a T-tubule?
- plasma membrane that provides rapid transmission of the surface membrane excitation throughout the muscle cell.
LOCATED AT A-I JUNCTION
What are terminal cisterna?
- SER expansions that release and store Ca++ via a voltage-sensitive Ca++ channel
A triad in muscle is:
- T-tubule + 2 terminal cisterna
Label:
T-tubule (longitudinal section)
Label yellow arrow and black triangles:
- yellow arrow = T-tubule
- black triangles = triad
- T-tubule + 2 terminal cisternae
Label:
Label the following on a cross-section of a sarcomere:
- M = densely packed myosin only
- H = myosin only
- A = actin + myosin
- I = actin only
What is this an image of?
nerve innervating muscle tissue
multiple myoneural junctions
