What is straited muscle?
straited muscle are another form of skeletal muscle.
What is the medical terminology Combining form meaning ciliary muscle?
cyc- is the combining form meaning ciliary muscle, as in iridocyclitis.
What is the combining form for muscle?
My/o
What is striated muscle?
its form of fibres that are combined into parallel fibres. More specifically, it can refer to: * skeletal muscle * cardiac muscle
What tissue is a skeletal muscle?
skeletal muscle is just a form of muscle that is striated. The other two kinds are cardiac and smooth. It is just muscle tissue.
Which type of muscle is multinucleated striated and in cylinder form?
Skeletal muscle.
What does it mean if a muscle is striated?
Striated muscle includes cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Skeletal muscle is between bones and is voluntarily controlled. Examples of skeletal muscle are the sternoclydomastoid, biceps, obicularis oris, rectus femoris, etc.
What is the medical terminology combining form meaning tonus?
Toni- is the medical terminology combining form meaning tonus. The stimulation of individual muscle fibers maintains a state of muscle contration. This is important in maintaining the movement of blood and lymph through out the body
What is the combining form muscle?
My/o
Is Heart made up of striated or non striated muscles?
Heart muscle is striated but not in the same way that skeletal muscle is. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart.Cardiac and skeletal muscle are similar in that both appear to be striated in that they contain sarcomeres. In striated muscle, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle, the actin and myosin filaments each have a specific and constant length on the order of a few micrometers, far less than the length of the elongated muscle cell (a few millimeters in the case of human skeletal muscle cells).The filaments are organized into repeated subunits along the length. These subunits are called sarcomeres. The sarcomeres are what give skeletal and cardiac muscles their striated appearance of narrow dark and light bands, because of the parallel arrangement of the actin and myosin filaments.However, cardiac muscle has unique features relative to skeletal muscle. For one, the myocytes are much shorter and are narrower than the skeletal muscle cells, being about 0.1 millimeters long and 0.02 millimeters wide .Furthermore, while skeletal muscles are arranged in regular, parallel bundles, cardiac muscle connects at branching, irregular angles.Anatomically, the muscle fibers are typically branched like a tree branch. In addition, cardiac muscle fibers connect to other cardiac muscle fibers through intercalcated discs and form the appearance of a syncytium (continuous cellular material).These intercalcated discs, which appear as irregularly-spaced dark bands between myocytes, are a unique and prominent feature of cardiac muscle .
What Diseases end in in the suffix -algia?
Fibro myalgia. My/o is the combining form meaning muscle. -Algia means pain. Myalgia equals muscle pain.
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.
