smooth muscle. They are part of the voluntary muscular system and typically are attached by tendons to bones of a skeleton. The skeletal muscle cells are...

myogenesis. Skeletal muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells both contain myofibrils and sarcomeres and form a striated muscle tissue. Cardiac muscle cells form...

muscle. Satellite cells are precursors to skeletal muscle cells, able to give rise to satellite cells or differentiated skeletal muscle cells. They have the...

striated), and smooth muscle (non-striated). Skeletal muscle tissue consists of elongated, multinucleate muscle cells called muscle fibers, and is responsible...

Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle cells. In physiology, muscle contraction does not necessarily mean muscle...

cells and cardiac muscle cells have a single nucleus, and skeletal muscle cells have many nuclei. The main function of striated muscle tissue is to create...

Cardiac muscle (also called heart muscle or myocardium) is one of three types of vertebrate muscle tissues, the others being skeletal muscle and smooth...

Smooth (soft) muscle is one of the three major types of vertebrate muscle tissue, the other being skeletal and cardiac muscle. Nonetheless, it is found...

in the skeletal muscle cells (metabolic fatigue) by increasing heart rate to maximize delivery of oxygen and blood borne fuels to the muscles for oxidative...

Muscle hypertrophy or muscle building involves a hypertrophy or increase in size of skeletal muscle through a growth in size of its component cells. Two...

and proteoglycan peptides that are produced and released by skeletal muscle cells (muscle fibers) in response to muscular contractions. They have autocrine...

a muscle fibril or sarcostyle) is a basic rod-like organelle of a muscle cell. Skeletal muscles are composed of long, tubular cells known as muscle fibers...

in skeletal muscle cells, the cardiac action potential is not initiated by nervous activity. Instead, it arises from a group of specialized cells known...

postnatal life. This includes neurons, heart cells, skeletal muscle cells and red blood cells. Although these cells are considered permanent in that they neither...

transcription of cell type markers. Cameron et al. identified nine cell types in skeletal muscles. They include endothelial cells (45% of cells), fibro-adipogenic...

contraction of each muscle fiber. Skeletal muscle, is a type of striated muscle, composed of muscle cells, called muscle fibers, which are in turn composed...

membrane-bound structure found within muscle cells that is similar to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum in other cells. The main function of the SR is to...

This is a table of skeletal muscles of the human anatomy, with muscle counts and other information. Skeletal muscle maps Anterior view Posterior view A...

(transverse tubules) are extensions of the cell membrane that penetrate into the center of skeletal and cardiac muscle cells. With membranes that contain large...

that develops from mesenchymal cells that have failed to fully differentiate into myocytes of skeletal muscle. Cells of the tumor are identified as rhabdomyoblasts...
