Muscle as an organ. Muscle tissue vs. Muscle as an organ One of the 4 primary tissue types How many subtypes? Made up of 4 tissue types. > 700 skeletal.
3 types: 1) skeletal-pulls on bones to cause movement 2) cardiac-pumps blood thru circulatory system 3) smooth-pushes fluids & solids thru body, regulates.
“the power system”. Nearly half our weight comes from muscle tissue. There are 650 different muscles in the human body. Muscles give us form and shape.
The Muscular System. Muscles are responsible for all types of body movement BECAUSE ……….! They contract – get shorter Three basic muscle types are found.
Muscle Fibers. Muscle fiber is the muscle cell Each skeletal muscle contains hundreds to thousands of these fiber cells.
Histology of Muscle. Skeletal Muscle Tissue Muscle Histology Elongated cylindrical cells = muscle fibers Plasma membrane = sarcolemma Transverse (T)
