They are contained in connective tissue sheets and form bundle of fibers They are then bound in further connective tissue to form the whole muscle. Muscle physiology the functional unit of skeletal muscle is the sarcomere Within the sarcomere we will see the contractile proteins that interact with each other in the “sliding filament theory” of muscle contraction. Using gilroy’s atlas of anatomy and clemente’s anatomy dissector as your 1st references, and your anatomy 35 human anatomy text as your 2nd reference, you will describe the position of each muscle listed in the following tables relative to other regional structures. How are the three types of muscle different
To paint a broad picture, we can concisely distinguish the three type of muscle and their roles this way: A skeletal muscle cell is a multinucleated syncytium An individual skeletal muscle may be made up of hundreds, or even thousands, of muscle fibers bundled together and wrapped in a connective tissue covering Each muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the epimysium.
