Cardiac muscle fibers are joined together by :
Intercalated discs
Purkinje fibers are rich in :
Glycogen & Mitochondria (Sarcosome)
Thick & Thin filaments are in :
M line is found in middle of :
A band
Why Smooth muscle is visceral & smooth,& not striated :
Due to lack of cross striations
Skeletal muscle contains :
Epimysium (outer coat),
Perimysium (CT trabeculae),
Endomysium (extends in muscle fibers).
