What are the tissues in skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is made up of individual components known as muscle fibers. These fibers are formed from the fusion of developmental myoblasts (a type of embryonic progenitor cell that gives rise to a muscle cell). The myofibers (muscle fiber) are long, cylindrical, multinucleated cells composed of actin and myosinmyofibrils repeated as a sarcomere, the basic functional unit of the cell and responsible for skeletal muscle's striated appearance and forming the basic machinery necessary for muscle contraction. The term muscle refers to multiple bundles of muscle fibers held together by connective tissue. Wikipedia dude ...
What can be found in every skeletal muscle?
Mycocytes, muscle cells sometimes called muscle fibers, are individual components that make up skeletal muscle cells. They are formed from the fusion of myoblasts known as myogenesis. They are long, cylindrical, multinucleate cells called myofibers. They are held together by connective tissue. The muscle is attached to tendons and bones,
How many cells do you start as in the process of embryonic development?
During the process of embryonic development, you start as a single cell called a zygote, which is formed when a sperm fertilizes an egg.
Does the embryonic skeleton arise from ectoderm?
Yes... sort of. The viscerocranium (bones of the face) and neurocranium (bone surrounding the brain) are both formed from the ectoderm (more specifically from the neural crest). The rest of the skeletal system is formed from the paraxial and lateral (somatic) portions of the mesoderm.
What is the muscle cell functions?
Muscle cells are formed in such a way that they contract and shorten. By doing this they produce a movement of one type or another. Skeletal muscle cells (called fibers) pull one bone towards another bone, smooth muscles fibers shorten as well but they don't act on bones. They produce waves of movement.
How do embryonic cells acquire their fate?
the fate of embryonic cells is in the hands of genes. they are responsible for the embryonic cells differentiation. if clitoris develops, penis is formed and male is produced. if clitoris is suppressed, vagina is formed and female is produced.
What is it called when the fibers of the spinal cord are loosely formed instead of being tightly together?
scoliosis
What is the composition of a blastula?
the blastula is an early stage of embryonic development in animals. its a hollow sphere of cells surrounding an inner fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoele formed during an early stage of embryonic development in animals
What is the function of muscle cells?
Muscle cells are formed in such a way that they contract and shorten. By doing this they produce a movement of one type or another. Skeletal muscle cells (called fibers) pull one bone towards another bone, smooth muscles fibers shorten as well but they don't act on bones. They produce waves of movement.
How is new skeletal muscle formed?
New skeletal muscle is generally not produced after the body has fully matured. The number of individual muscle cell fibers does not change throughout life. Take Arnold Schwarzenegger for example, before he developed, and after he lost, his Olympian physique he had the same number of muscle cells throughout the entire time, even to his 'saggy' present day condition. When muscles become larger or smaller, as seen from the exterior of the body, they only change in thickness, not in number. Through the division and fusion of satellite cells
What process in which mineral replaces previously formed cartilage is called?
The process in which mineral replaces previously formed cartilage is called endochondral ossification. This process is essential for the formation of bones during embryonic development and involves the gradual replacement of cartilage by bone tissue.
During which prenatal period are the placenta and umbilical chord formed?
embryonic period
