Muscle And Skeletal. Skeletal muscle is comprised from a series of bundles of muscle fibers surrounded by protective membranes. Muscle perhaps more than any other physiological system has been studied thoroughly.
Each muscle is wrapped in a sheath of dense irregular connective tissue called the epimysium which allows a muscle to contract and move powerfully while maintaining its structural integrity. Skeletal striated muscle tissue is arranged in regular parallel bundles of myofibrils containing the many contractile units known as sarcomeres which give the tissue its striated striped appearance. Contractility excitability extensibility and elasticity.
Structure of Cardiac and Smooth Muscle.
In skeletal muscle tissue the muscle cells. Longitudinal sections of skeletal muscle viewed under the light and electron microscopes demonstrate an ordered banding pattern Fig. Names of Skeletal Muscles. Because skeletal muscle cells are long and cylindrical they are commonly referred to as muscle fibers.
