Skeletal Lecture Flashcards

How many types of muscle tissue are there?

3

What are the 3 types of muscle tissue?

Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth

What are skeletal muscles composed of?

Skeletal muscle tissue, nervous tissue, blood, and connective tissue

What are the different connective tissue coverings?

Fascia, Tendon, and Aponeurosis

Fascia

thin covering of connective tissues around a muscle

Tendon

Cord-like mass of connective tissue that connects muscle to a bone

Aponeurosis

Sheet-like mass of connective tissue that connects a muscle to bone, skin, or another muscle

What type of connective tissues closely surround a muscle or are in muscles?

Epimysium, Perimysium, and Endomysium

Epimysium

surrounds whole muscle and lies beneath the fascia

What does the epimysium surround?

whole muscles

Where is the epimysium located?

Beneath fascia

Permysium

surrounds fascicles within a muscle

What does the perimysium surround?

fasicles within a muscle

Endomysium

Surrounds muscle fibers within a fascicle

What does the endomysium surround?

Muscle fibers within a fascicle

What are muscle fibers?

muscle cells
