What else can I help you with?
What are all muscle cells called?
A single muscle cell is called a muscle fiber.
Each muscle fiber is also called a?
Each muscle fiber is also called a myofiber.
What is the Smaller fiber in a muscle fiber?
Myofibril
Exercise can do what?
make more muscle fiber
What is the term for a Smaller fiber in a muscle fiber?
The smaller fiber in a muscle fiber is called a myofibril. A band of tissue that connects bone to bone is called a ligament.
What is a single muscle called?
a muscle fiber
What is the basic unit of muscle?
muscle fiber
What is the part of the muscle fiber that allows the fiber to contract?
The sacromere with the proteins actin and myosin allow the muscle cell (fiber) to contract.
Which would you see only in the relaxed electron micrographs of a relaxed skeletal and muscle fiber and a fully contracted muscle fiber?
This question is confusing. Are you asking if you see only a relaxed muscle fiber in EMs? Yes, you would only see that, not a contracted muscle fiber. The preparation could only be of a relaxed fiber.
What is the difference between a whole muscle and muscle fiber?
A whole muscle is the whole muscle while a muscle fiber is part of a muscle. I'm not sure if I'm correct though, so check with some different sources.
What is the connective tissue covering called that encloses the sarcolemma of an individual muscle fiber?
The connective tissue covering that encloses the sarcolemma of an individual muscle fiber is called endomysium. It surrounds each muscle fiber and provides support and protection to the muscle cells.
Why is an individual skeleton muscle cell referred to as a muscle fiber?
An individual skeletal muscle cell is referred to as a muscle fiber because of its elongated, thread-like shape that resembles a fiber. These muscle fibers are multi-nucleated and contain specialized structures called myofibrils, which are responsible for contraction. The term "fiber" underscores the cell's role in forming the overall muscle tissue, emphasizing its function and structural characteristics.
