along the length of the fiber in the form of numerous single actin filaments. There is no ordered system of myosin filaments in smooth muscle cells. Tropomyosin A fibers in the smooth musculature of mollusks appear to play a major role in performing the obturator function (closing of the ...
-SmM fibers contain longitudinal bundles of non contractile intermediate fils anchored to the sarcolemma and surrounding tissues via dense bodies-dense bodies: >act as anchoring points for thin fils and so correspond to z discs of skeletal muscle, during contraction, areas of the sarcolemma between ...
As its name suggests, skeletal muscle is linked to bone by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons. Skeletal muscle is made up of individual components known as muscle fibers. These fibers are long, cylindrical, multinucleated cells composed of actin and myosin myofibrils repeated as a ...
Within the muscle fibers are myofibrils, which are extended lengthwise in the sarcoplasm. Their prominent light and dark band colors, called cross-striations, make the whole muscle fiber appear striped or striated. Myofibrils form the contractile element of the skeletal muscle. They are 1–2 μm...
The muscle spindle is encapsulated, containing a limited number of short fibers that are parallel to other muscle fibers (Figure 6-3). Fibers of the muscle spindle are called intrafusal fibers. The main muscle fibers, outside the spindle, are extrafusai fibers. There are two types of intra...
Skeletal muscle is a highly organized tissue composed of bundles of muscle fibers called myofibers which contain several myofibrils. Each myofiber represents a muscle cell with its basic cellular unit, the sarcomere. Bundles of myofibers form fascicles, and bundles of fascicles form muscle tissue. ...
The objectives of this study were to determine whether this size effect was evident in the mechanical testing of muscle fiber bundles and to examine whether the muscle fiber bundle cross-section is circular. Muscle fibers and fiber bundles were extracted from lumbar spine multifidus and longissimus ...

of skeletal muscle [5]. The ECM of skeletal muscle tissue contains three layers. The innermost structure is called the basal membrane (basal lamina), which supports and wraps a single muscle fiber. A number of muscle fibers form muscle bundles, which are wrapped by the perimysium. Moreover...
We assessed the probability of intercellular communication between macrophages and MuSCs using a computational method called CellPhoneDB [37]. We found that at 3 dpi, C57BL/6 MuSCs are likely responsive to well-characterized pro-regenerative cytokines secreted by macrophages, such as TGFB1 and IGF1...
