Muscle Connective Tissue and Fasciculus (Fascicle)

Epimysium

dense connective tissue (dense layer of collagen) that surrounds the muscle.

Epimysium

It separates the muscle from the surrounding tissue and organs.

Endomysium

divides the skeletal muscle into series of compartments, each containing a bundle of muscle fibers.

Perimysium

surrounds the individual skeletal muscle cells or muscle fibers and loosely interconnects adjacent muscle fibers.

Fascicle

bundle of muscle fibers.

Satellite cell

also known as "myosatellite cells" or "muscle stem cells".

Satellite cell

source of new nuclear material that is required for muscle growth and hypertrophy.

Myosatellite cells or Muscle stem cells

Satellite cell is also known as ___

Satellite cell

activated during muscle tissue damage.

Mitochondrion

converts nutrients into ATP (stores energy).

Myofibril

responsible for muscle contraction.

Muscle Fiber

produces and propagates electrical impulses for muscle movement.

Sarcolemma

plasma membrane of the muscle cell, surrounded by basement membrane and endomysial connective tissue.

Sarcoplasm

the cytoplasm of a muscle fiber.

Sarcoplasm

the most abundant mineral in the sarcoplasm is potassium.
