PPT-Muscle System 1 Includes all skeletal muscle tissue that can be controlled voluntarily

Muscular system 2 Classification of Skeletal Muscles 3 Muscles can be classified by action Agonist prime mover Primary responsible for the movement Antagonist Opposes the agonists Synergist. What is Muscle Tissue?. Composed of cells that are highly specialized to shorten in length by contractility.. Made up of cells that are called . myocytes. .. Elongated in one direction (muscle . fibres. Muscle Tissue Characteristics. Contractile. Made of contractile proteins. Cells are called fibers. Skeletal Muscle. 40% of body weight. Under voluntary control; attached to skeleton. Striated, or banded, appear. Composed of cells that are highly specialized to shorten in length by contractility.. Made up of cells that are called . myocytes. .. Elongated in one direction (muscle . fibres. ).. Special Terms. Plasma Membrane . As it contracts it . -causes movement. -maintains posture. -stabilizes joints. -and generates heat. . Muscle Types. Skeletal muscle (voluntary). muscle attached to the skeleton. cells are long, striated, and multinucleate. Objectives. Histologically identify and functionally characterize each of the 3 types of muscle tissues.. Describe the organization of the sarcomere as seen in light and electron microscopy.. Identify the . I. Functions of Muscular Tissue. Like nervous tissue, muscles are excitable or "irritable”. they have the ability to respond to a stimulus. Unlike nerves, however, muscles are also:. Contractible. .
