The compact body of each cell is packed closely with the adjacent cells to form an epithelium, and the base of each cell, where it meets the mesoglea, is drawn out into a long muscle fibre. In the hydra the musculoepithelial cells that cover the outer surface of the body have ...
The duration of muscle fibre contraction is not uniform within whole muscles. In fact all muscles are made up of a variety of types of fibre. Some muscle fibres take only 80 ms to attain their maximum tension, whereas others take more than twice this time. Different types of muscle fibre...
The point of contact between the nerve terminal and the muscle fibre, the neuromuscular synapse, is a specialized region designed to allow the rapid transmission of the impulse from the nerve to the fibre (Fig. 3.25). It is a complex structure, consisting of deep postsynaptic clefts and a pr...

Fish muscle growth is important for the rapidly developing global aquaculture industry, particularly with respect to production and quality. Changes in muscle fibre size are accomplished by altering the balance between protein synthesis and proteolysis.
(Fig.5C,D; i.e. 10 of 225 total and 7 of 87 total, respectively). Skeletal muscle mitochondrial content, as well as muscle fibre type composition [160], differ between humans and rodents [161,162]. As such, the observed variability in the proportion of exercise-regulated phosphoproteins ...
