  2. Multinucleate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinucleate

    Multinucleate cells (also known as multinucleated cells or polynuclear cells) are eukaryotic cells that have more than one nucleus, i.e., multiple nuclei share one common cytoplasm. Mitosis in multinucleate cells can occur either in a coordinated, synchronous manner where all nuclei divide simultaneously or asynchronously where individual ...

  3. Muscle cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_cell

    Skeletal muscle cells form by fusion of myoblasts to produce multinucleated cells in a process known as myogenesis. [4] [5] Skeletal muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells both contain myofibrils and sarcomeres and form a striated muscle tissue. [6]

  4. Striated muscle tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striated_muscle_tissue

    Striated muscle tissue is a muscle tissue that features repeating functional units called sarcomeres. The presence of sarcomeres manifests as a series of bands visible along the muscle fibers, which is responsible for the striated appearance observed in microscopic images of this tissue.

  5. Muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle

    There are three types of muscle tissue in invertebrates that are based on their pattern of striation: transversely striated, obliquely striated, and smooth muscle. In arthropods there is no smooth muscle. The transversely striated type is the most similar to the skeletal muscle in vertebrates. [4]

  6. Skeletal muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle

    The tissue of a skeletal muscle is striated – having a striped appearance due to the arrangement of the sarcomeres. A skeletal muscle contains multiple fascicles – bundles of muscle fibers. Each individual fiber, and each muscle is surrounded by a type of connective tissue layer of fascia.

  7. Syncytium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncytium

    A classic example of a syncytium is the formation of skeletal muscle.Large skeletal muscle fibers form by the fusion of thousands of individual muscle cells. The multinucleated arrangement is important in pathologic states such as myopathy, where focal necrosis (death) of a portion of a skeletal muscle fiber does not result in necrosis of the adjacent sections of that same skeletal muscle ...

  9. Smooth muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smooth_muscle

    Like striated muscle, smooth muscle can tense and relax. In the relaxed state, each cell is 30–200 micrometers in length, some thousands of times shorter than a skeletal muscle cell. [1] There are no myofibrils present, but much of the cytoplasm is taken up by the proteins, myosin and actin, which together have the capability to contract. [7]
