The document discusses the three main types of muscles - cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscles. It notes their key characteristics like voluntary vs involuntary control, cellular structure, and location in the body. The document also outlines the anatomy of a microscopic muscle cell, naming structures like the sarcolemma, myofibrils, and tendons. It concludes by stating the major function of muscles is to provide movement for the body by contracting and shortening.

○ Cardiac Tissue of the heart Involuntarily controlled Striated Has a single nucleus in each cell Found in the walls of the heart Contains branching cylindrical cells Has intercalated discs Changes the internal volume of the heart as it contracts ○ Skeletal Found attached to bones Voluntarily controlled Striated Has several nuclei per cell Contains long, non-branching cylindrical cells Concerned with locomotion of the body as a whole ○ Smooth Found in the walls of the stomach, uterus, and arteries Involuntarily controlled Has a single nucleus in each cell Contains spindle-shaped cells Changes internal volume of an organ as it contracts • Anatomy of a microscopic muscle cell (p. 91) ○ Perimysium Connective tissue surrounding a fascicle, or bundle, of muscle fibers ○ Epimysium Connective tissue that covers the entire muscle cell ○ Endomysium Thin connective muscle that surrounds a single muscle fiber ○ Fascicle Bundle of muscle cells ○ Fiber Muscle cell ○ Myofilament Actin or myosin-containing structure ○ Myofibril A long filamentous organelle found within muscle cells that has a banded appearance ○ Sarcolemma Plasma membrane of the muscle ○ Sacromere Contractile unit of muscle ○ Tendon Cordlike extension of connective tissue beyond the muscle, serving to attach it to the bone • Anterior muscles ume of an organ as it contractscle, serving to attatch it to the boneappearance • Posterior muscles • What is the major function of a muscle ○ To provide movement for the body It contracts and shortens • Heat • Movement • Posture
