Muscle fibers are grouped into fascicles, these fascicles form a muscle. The fascicles are arranged in 3 basic patterns. Parallel fascicles are arranged length wise in a parallel form. Circular fascicles are arranged in rings in a concentric pattern. Pennate fascicles are arranged in a feather pattern, with muscles arranged like a feather attached to a tendon along its length.

What are individual muscle cells termed?
Another name is myocyte. It is formed from a myoblast. There are three types: smooth, striated and cardiac cells.
How do muscle cells use fat cells when they burn?
Muscle cells don't use fat cells when they are burned. An increase in muscle can raise the metabolism causing the muscle cells to burn off the fat cells in storage.
What are some differences between epithelial cells and muscle cells?
One difference between epithelial cells and muscle cells is their location in the human body. Epithelial cells are skin cells on the outside of the body. Muscle cells are located in the muscle under the skin.
Which cells go into the g0 phase?
The cells are alive and metabolically active.
Possible message that one cell might send to another cell?
brain cells send messages to muscle cells to contract muscles
What type muscle cells are arranged in sheets or layers with adjacent muscle cells electrically connected by gap junctions and mechanically connected by dense bodies?
cardic
What kind of muscles are elongated arranged in sheets and contain multiple nuclei?
Muscle cells
Why the muscle named striated?
because the cells are arranged as striae, thus striae means the longitudinal thin appearance
What are the characteristics of a muscular vein?
The tunica interna of a muscular vein consists of an endothelium with a basal lamina, a thin subendothelial layer with smooth muscle cells, and a thin internal elastic membrane. Its tunica media has several layers of circularly arranged smooth muscle cells dispersed with collagen and elastic fibres. The smooth muscle cells may be arranged longitudinally in its tunica media. Its externa is generally thicker than its tunica media and has collagen fibres and a network of elastic fibres.
How are muscles fiber arranged?
Strongly and effectively. An online encyclopedia/search engine with be able to give a clear definition with diagrams. Search for "muscle" or "muscle fibre" (not fiber!!)
What are specific characteristics of muscle cells?
Specialized cells that send messages from one part of the body to another.
What types of cells contracts to move an animal?
muscle cells...
What are individual muscle cells termed?
Another name is myocyte. It is formed from a myoblast. There are three types: smooth, striated and cardiac cells.
How do muscle cells form tissues?
A myocyte, which is also known as a muscle cell, is a long, tubular shaped cell that develops from myoblasts to form the muscle. This process known as myogenesis. Groups of muscle cells form muscle tissue.
How are individual muscle cells different from the muscle tissue in the bicep muscle?
Muscle cells are smaller than muscle tissues.
Do smooth muscles have branched cells?
No, cardiac muscle cells are branched but skeletal muscle cells are linear and do not branch
What cell contains most mitochondria?
Muscle cells.Metabolically very active cells. Muscle cells,heart cells have lot of mitochondria
