What else can I help you with?
What are the longitudunal bundles in the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle cell called?
the so called longitudinal bundles in the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle are actually the muscle contractile proteins, namely actin and myosin.
What is the fundamental functional muscle fiber's unit of contraction?
The smallest contractile unit of a muscle fiber is the sarcomere.It is composed of contractile myofilaments known as actin and myosin.
What is a muscle striation made of?
The striations seen in skeletal muscle fibers are the result of the alignment of hundreds of myofibrils within each muscle fiber. A myofibril is a cylindrical organelle as long as the muscle fiber. Myofibrils contain bundles of myofilaments, which are actin proteins and myosin proteins. The differences in the thicknesses of the myofilaments accounts for the banding pattern of light and dark striations.
What is the correct sequencing of the microstructure of skeletal muscle?
muscle fiber, myofibril, myofilaments, sarcomere
What is a myofibril?
A myofibril is a bundle of contractile filaments (myofilaments), 1-2 μm in diameter, that are arranged in parallel groups in the cytoplasm of striated muscle cells.
Does the arrangement of myofilaments produces the striation of a skeletal muscle cell?
Yes.
What is microscopic threadlike structures found in skeletal muscle fibers?
myofilaments
Is a bundle of parallel myofilaments within a muscle fiber?
Yes, a bundle of parallel myofilaments within a muscle fiber is known as a myofibril. Myofibrils are composed of repeating units called sarcomeres, which contain the contractile proteins actin and myosin. These structures are essential for muscle contraction, as they slide past one another to shorten the muscle fiber during contraction.
What is the contractile organelle of skeletal muscle fibers is?
myofibrils
What are the striated appearance of skeletal muscle fiber is mainly due to?
cardiac muscle appears striated like the skeletal muscle due to arrangement of contractile proteins
What produces the striations of a skeletal muscle cell?
Skeletal muscle is one of the three types of muscle and it is a structure of a striated muscle tissue. The muscle is made up of myocytes or muscle fibers.
What is the one of the contractile units found in skeletal muscle?
Sarcomere
