    Study Notes

    Muscle Filaments and Contraction

    • Actin filaments are responsible for muscle contraction.

    Skeletal Muscle

    • The main function of skeletal muscle is to move the body's skeleton.
    • Skeletal muscle tissue can be voluntarily controlled.

    Cardiac Muscle

    • Cardiac muscle appears striated or striped due to the regular arrangement of its contractile units.

    Muscle Contraction

    • During muscular contraction, muscle fibers shorten.

    Skeletal Muscle Structure

    • The basic functional unit of skeletal muscles is the motor unit.
    • The connective tissue that surrounds the entire skeletal muscle organ is epimysium.
    • A bundle of several skeletal muscle fibers is known as a fascicle.
    • The connective tissue surrounding each fascicle is called perimysium.
    • The connective tissue that surrounds individual skeletal muscle fibers is endomysium.
    • The cell membrane surrounding a skeletal muscle fiber is called sarcolemma.
    • Skeletal muscle fibers contain multiple nuclei, not just one in the center.
