3 types of muscle
- Skeletal
- Smooth
- Cardiac
What is muscle tissue
- cellular tissues that use ATP to generate force to produce contractions
Term for cytoplasm of muscle cell
Sarcoplasm
Cell membrane of muscle
Sarcolemma
Arrangement of skeletal muscle
Myofibrils within sarcoplasm (parallel structure)
What is myofilament
filaments that are composed of myofibrils.
Myofilament is composed of what protein
Actin and myosin
Myofibril is composed of
Myocytes
Thick protein filament
Myosin
Thin protein filaments
Actin
How are actin arranged
In sarcomeres
How is smooth muscle arranged
Tightly packed in sheet like way
Arrangement of cardiac muscle
cells branch in irregular pattern and cells join end-to-end by intercalated discs (dark lines)
