(76 cards)
What makes up the muscles?
Mesoderm
list five functions of muscles
Locomotion, food capture, weight, distribution protection of viscera circulation of blood, movement of chime, electricity
Electric organs of fish are specialized blocks of muscle that are used for
To kill prey or defense
MESENCHYME embryonic source of muscle is
Embryonic connective tissue derived from MESODERM. Smooth muscles within the walls of some blood vessels and some organs.
HypoMERE embryonic sources of muscle is
Paired, cardiac muscle in the smooth muscle of the elementary canal development of splanchnic MESODERM of the hypoMERE
PARAXIAL MESODERM embryonic source of muscle is
Next to node cord, becomes soulmates/myotome and SOMITOMERES, most skeleton muscles, BRANCHIOMERIC and hypobranchial muscles
