Study Notes
Muscle Types and Structure
- Skeletal muscle is attached to the skeleton and is under conscious control, allowing for voluntary movements.
- Skeletal muscle fibers are wrapped in a connective tissue called the endomysium, which provides support and protection.
- Striated muscle, such as skeletal muscle, displays obvious stripes (striations) due to the arrangement of actin and myosin filaments, and it is also subject to conscious control.
- The epimysium is a tough connective tissue that encloses and covers the entire muscle, providing structural integrity and protection.
- Tendons are the structures that attach muscles to bones, cartilage, or other connective tissues, facilitating movement by transmitting the force generated by muscle contractions.
