Study Notes
Muscular System Structure
- The muscular system consists of longitudinal, spindle-shaped muscle cells.
- Each muscle cell has a contractile part and a cytoplasmic part containing a nucleus.
- From the cytoplasmic part, a nerve appendage connects to either the dorsal nerve cord or the ventral nerve cord.
Longitudinal Lines and Muscle Fiber Layer
- Four longitudinal lines run along the entire body, defining the internal muscle: • Two white lines: dorsal line and ventral line • Two wider and darker lines: lateral lines
- The longitudinal muscle fiber layer is composed of spindle-shaped muscle cells, each with: • A contractile part • A cytoplasmic part containing a nucleus • A nerve appendage connecting to either the dorsal nerve cord or the ventral nerve cord
