  3. Skeletal muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle

    Skeletal muscle (commonly referred to as muscle) is one of the three types of vertebrate muscle tissue, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. They are part of the voluntary muscular system [ 1 ] and typically are attached by tendons to bones of a skeleton .

  4. Sarcomere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcomere

    Muscle contraction ends when calcium ions are pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, allowing the contractile apparatus and, thus, muscle cell to relax. Upon muscle contraction, the A-bands do not change their length (1.85 micrometer in mammalian skeletal muscle), [5] whereas the I-bands and the H-zone shorten. This causes the Z-lines to ...

  5. Anatomical terms of muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_muscle

    Different skeletal muscle types: A: fusiform. B: unipennate. C: bipennate. (PCS: physiological cross-section) Muscles may also be described by the direction that the muscle fibres run, in their muscle architecture. Fusiform muscles have fibres that run parallel to the length of the muscle, and are spindle-shaped. [19]

  6. Muscular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_system

    Upon stimulation by an action potential, skeletal muscles perform a coordinated contraction by shortening each sarcomere. The best proposed model for understanding contraction is the sliding filament model of muscle contraction. Within the sarcomere, actin and myosin fibers overlap in a contractile motion towards each other.

  7. Myofibril - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofibril

    A myofibril (also known as a muscle fibril or sarcostyle) [1] is a basic rod-like organelle of a muscle cell. [2] Skeletal muscles are composed of long, tubular cells known as muscle fibers, and these cells contain many chains of myofibrils. [3] Each myofibril has a diameter of 1–2 micrometres. [3]

  8. Striated muscle tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striated_muscle_tissue

    Unlike skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue, smooth muscle tissue is not striated since there are no sarcomeres present. Skeletal muscles are attached to some component of the skeleton, and smooth muscle is found in hollow structures such as the walls of intestines or blood vessels. The fibres of striated muscle have a cylindrical shape with ...

  9. Muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle

    Skeletal muscle is voluntary muscle, anchored by tendons or sometimes by aponeuroses to bones, and is used to effect skeletal movement such as locomotion and to maintain posture. Postural control is generally maintained as an unconscious reflex, but the responsible muscles can also react to conscious control.
