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 type muscle cells are arranged in sheets or layers with adjacent muscle cells electrically connected by gap junctions and mechanically connected by dense bodies?

Smooth muscle cells are arranged in sheets or layers with adjacent cells connected by gap junctions and dense bodies. This allows for coordinated contraction and relaxation of muscle tissue.


What muscle is striated uninucleated cells?

Cardiac muscle is made up of striated uninucleated cells. These cells have a single nucleus and are arranged in a striated pattern, giving them a striped appearance under a microscope.


What kind of muscles are elongated arranged in sheets and contain multiple nuclei?

Skeletal muscles contain elongated muscle fibers arranged in sheets and have multiple nuclei. Smooth muscles and cardiac muscles also have elongated cells, but they are not arranged in sheets and do not have multiple nuclei in each cell.


Why the muscle named striated?

because the cells are arranged as striae, thus striae means the longitudinal thin appearance


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.


What are specific characteristics of muscle cells?

Specialized cells that send messages from one part of the body to another.


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!!)

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
