There are many components of skeletal muscle anatomy. However, skeletal muscle is primarily made of muscle fibers, which are bundles of lots of proteins called myofibrils. Each myofibril contains smaller protein structures called sarcomeres. These have light and dark areas and create patterns of red...
Type IIb fibers have the fastest rate of ATPase activity and are found in muscles used for short, rapid bursts of contraction such as the gastrocnemius, a muscle in the leg that is used in jumping. Want to test your knowledge of muscle tissue? Try our tissue quizzes and free labeling ...

To find the optimal segmentation solution the multi-labeling problem was solved using graph cuts with alpha expansions as described in Boykov et al.72. BoNT/A is expected to alter the microstructural tissue of the muscle and changes the fibrillary organization. This is evident from Fig. 1, ...
(e.g. coenzymes and amino acids, among others) rather than by the addition of external labeling or contrast agents (e.g. fluorescent or non-fluorescent dyes). Endogenous fluorescent molecules contain aromatic rings with Pi-bonds, with electrons that react to specific illumination wavelengths, ...
Advanced age causes skeletal muscle to undergo deleterious changes including muscle atrophy, fast-to-slow muscle fiber transition, and an increase in collagenous material that culminates in the age-dependent muscle wasting disease known as sarcopenia. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) non-enzymatica...
