Lesson 6 Flashcards
(46 cards)
Primary tissue of motion responsible for
the movement of the different parts of
the body
➢ MUSCULAR TISSUE
- The smooth and skeletal muscle
fibers are bound together by areolar
tissues. - Long, cylindrical, multinucleated
(more than 1 nucleus)
➢ MUSCLE FIBER (CELL)
- Contain blood vessels and nerves
➢ AREOLAR TISSUES
- Bound by intercalated disks
➢ CARDIAC MUSCLE FIBERS
It is the unit of structure and function It is also elongated and contains myofibrils.
MUSCLE FIBER
MYOFIBRIL is Composed of ____
myofilaments
- The muscles are acidophilic in
staining affinity. - The only stain it can take up is acid
➢ STAINING OF MUSCLES
- Dense irregular connective tissue
- Sheath that surrounds the entire
muscle - Outer part
EPIMYSIUM
- Dense irregular connective tissue
- Sheath that surrounds the fascicle
PERIMYSIUM
it is a bundle of muscle
fibers; cylindrical
Fascicle
- Thin delicate layer of reticular fibers
and scattered fibroblast - Innermost sheath surrounding
individual muscle fiber/myocyte
ENDOMYSIUM
- Muscle plasma membrane
- Acts as cell wall
SARCOLEMMA
Cytoplasm of a muscle fiber
SARCOPLASM
- The smallest functional unit of
striated muscle tissue - Main contractile unit of skeletal
muscle fiber (myocyte) - Structure between two Z disc
SARCOMERE
this Composed of two main protein filaments
o Thin actin filament
o Thick myosin filaments
- Marks the center of the sarcomere.
➢ M line
The area where two actin filaments
connect and transverse the I bands.
➢ Z disc
- Area between the M line and Z disc
and this zone contains only the
myosin - Does not contain thin (actin) filaments.
- The center of the A band
- No overlap between the thick and the
thin filaments
➢ H zone
3 TYPES OF MUSCULAR TISSUE
- Cardiac muscle / striated voluntary muscle
- Skeletal muscle / striated muscle
- Smooth muscle
MUSCULAR TISSUE
Presence of intercalated discs
- Skeletal muscle / striated muscle
MUSCULAR TISSUE
Nucleus: Flat – located under the cell membrane
- Skeletal muscle / striated muscle
MUSCULAR TISSUE
Nucleus: Round – shape of muscle is spindle-shaped
- Smooth muscle
It is the unit of structure and function.
It is elongated and contains myofibrils.
