What are all muscle cells called?
A single muscle cell is called a muscle fiber.
Each muscle fiber is also called a?
muscle cell
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.
What is a sacrolemma?
sarcolemma is the plasma membrane of the muscle fiber (muscle cell)
A specialized cell found in a skeletal muscle is called a muscle fiber?
true
What is sacrolemma?
The sarcolemma is the cell membrane of a muscle fiber. It surrounds and protects the muscle fiber and controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. The sarcolemma plays a crucial role in muscle contraction and the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle fiber.
Muscle cell are stimulated by nerve fiber called a?
[Edit]
A muscle cell is most correctly referred to as?
Muscle cells are most correctly referred to as muscle fibers.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of a muscle cell?
What is a synapse between a nerve fiver and a muscle fiber
What is the muscle fiber or gland cell that responds to the efferent impulses?
Effector
What are the muscle structures from largest to smallest?
The organization of a skeletal muscle from smallest to largest is as follows: myofilaments > myofibrils > muscle fiber > fascicle > muscle
What is a muscle cell called?
The scientific name for a muscle cell is a myocyte. Myocytes are also sometimes called muscle fibers. They are long, tube shaped, cells that develop from myoblasts.
