Contractile tissue, in vertebrates consisting of fibrils with marked striations at right angles to the long axis. The muscle is concerned with movement of skeletal parts.
skeletal muscle fiber that appears to be banded due to the presence of overlapping actin and myosin filaments; also called voluntary muscle.
Muscle responsible for the skeletonï3/4's movement (and the movement of organs such as the orb of the eye and the tongue). Also called voluntary muscle and skeletal muscle.
Contractile tissue characterized by multinucleated cells containing highly ordered arrangements of actin and myosin microfilaments. Also known as skeletal muscle.
Muscle tissue, such as skeletal muscle, that is made up of long fibers and is characterized by alternating light and dark bands.
Characterized by sarcomeres aligned in register. Skeletal and cardiac muscle are striated.
Muscle in which the repeating units ( sarcomeres) of the contractile myofibrils are arranged in registry throughout the cell, resulting in transverse or oblique striations observable at the level of the light microscope, eg. the voluntary (skeletal) and cardiac muscle of vertebrates.
