All muscles derive from paraxial mesoderm. The paraxial mesoderm is divided along the embryo's length into somites, corresponding to the segmentation of the body (most obviously seen in the vertebral column. Each somite has 3 divisions, sclerotome (which forms vertebrae), dermatome (which forms skin), and myotome (which forms muscle).The myotome is divided into two sections, the epimere and hypomere, which form epaxial and hypaxial muscles, respectively. Epaxial muscles in humans are only the erector spinae and small intervertebral muscles, and are innervated by the dorsal rami of the spinal nerves. All other muscles, including limb muscles, are hypaxial muscles, formed from the hypomere, and inervated by the ventral rami of the spinal nerves.
During development, myoblasts (muscle progenitor cells) either remain in the somite to form muscles associated with the vertebral column or migrate out into the body to form all other muscles. Myoblast migration is preceded by the formation of connective tissue frameworks, usually formed from the somatic lateral plate mesoderm.Myoblasts follow chemical signals to the appropriate locations, where they fuse into elongate skeletal muscle cells.

∙ 14y agoThe functions of a muscle cell are the nucleus which is the brain of the cell and it tells the cell what to do, the cell membrane which is the outside of the cell and this holds the cell and controls what goes in and out of the cell, the cytoplasm which is the liquid inside the cell where all the chemical reactions take place, the contractile filaments which when relaxed allows the cell to expand but when not relaxed they contract and make the muscle go smaller so this changes the shape of the cell and the final function is the focal densities which hold the contractile filaments together.

What cell of the human body has more mitchondria a muscle cell or skin cell?
A muscle cell
Which cell has more mitochondria a muscle cell or a skin cell?
Muscle cells have thousands more mitochondria.
Is a muscle cell a specialized cell?
A muscle cell is specialized to contract and relax in unison with other muscle cells in a muscle tissue when you want to move a certain muscle(controlled by your cerebrum). I hope this answers your question! Ciao!
What does a flagellum of a muscle cell do?
Muscle cells do not have flagella. Flagella are for a cell's or small organism's movement.
What type of cell is a heart cell?
The heart cells are muscle, the type called involuntary muscle.
Would you expect a muscle cell to have many or few mitochondria?
You would expect to find many mitochondria in a muscle cell. This is because the mitochondria makes the energy fo a cell, and muscle cells need alot of energy to do their job. The more energy a cell needs to do its job, the more mitochondria it has.
Why is muscle and bone cells not needed by a plant?
A muscle cell is not found in a plant because for a muscle cell to do its job it needs bones in the organism. Therefore most plants do not have bones.
What is the primary function of a cardiac muscle cell?
The job is that it protects your heart and lungs and it never tires from doing its job. It is also a involutary muscle which is a muscle that is not under your conscous control.

What are facts about a skeletal muscle cell?
A skeletal muscle cell is a cell of a skeletal muscle.
What is a muscle cell?
A muscle cell is a cell which can change length
Is muscle a gamete cell?
No a muscle cell is a somatic cell
What cell have more mitochondria a muscle cell or egg cell?
muscle
Is muscle a cell or an organ?
A muscle is neither a cell nor a organ, it is a muscle
What cell of the human body has more mitchondria a muscle cell or skin cell?
