Describe the function of muscle tissue. Tissue Types: There are four major tissue types within the body. These tissue types are nervous, muscle, epithelial, and connective tissue. Each tissue type has a distinct role in the body that helps it to achieve and maintain homeostasis. ...
We were successful in engineering muscle tissue of all sources. At harvest, the weight of the engineered muscles of the soleus group was 53.15mg ± 16.2mg, whereas the weight of the quadriceps and rectus group was lower (37.2mg ± 3.4mg and 30.5mg ± 9.05mg, respectively). The same ...
1. Pretreatment of muscles with ionising radiation enhances tissue formation by transplanted myoblasts but little is known about the effects on muscle function. We implanted myoblasts from an expanded, male-donor-derived, culture (i28) into X-ray irradiated (16 Gy) or irradiated and damaged ...
Zweyer, A. Irintchev: Function of skeletal muscle tissue formed after myoblast transplantation into irradiated mouse muscles. J Physiol, 522 Pt 2, 333-45 (2000)Wernig A, Zweyer M, andIrintchev A. Function of skeletal muscle tissue formed after myoblast transplantation into irradiated mouse ...
striated muscle; human biceps muscle The structure of striated, or skeletal, muscle. Striated muscle tissue, such as the tissue of the human biceps muscle, consists of long fine fibres, each of which is in effect a bundle of finer myofibrils. Within each myofibril are filaments of the protei...
The ability of female sex steroids to regulate tissue function has long been appreciated; however, their role in the regulation of striated muscle function has received considerably less attention. The purpose of this symposium review was to document recent evidence indicating the role female sex ster...
Muscle-specific loss of Dp is lethalTo identify the tissue in which E2F function is required for animal viability, we induced tissue-specific knockdown of Dp using RNA interference (RNAi) and the UAS/GAL4 system. The UAS-Dp-RNAi was crossed to a panel of GAL4 drivers, and animal viability...
Muscle tissueis both extensible and elastic, in other words, it can be stretched and returned to its original size and shape. The cells of muscle tissue are unique in that they are contractile, or capable of contraction. Thiscontractionis a result of slidingactinand myosin filaments. Muscle ti...
Learn about the major skeletal muscle functions. Deepen your knowledge of the structure of skeletal muscle, the characteristics of skeletal muscle,...
muscle relaxation phase. Accordingly, precise regulation of SERCA activity is essential for the proper function of muscle tissue, and the physiological relevance of SERCA in heart and muscle disease has been extensively studied (see1,2and references therein). One central result of these studies is ...
