The skeletal system is primarily composed of bone tissue, which includes a matrix of collagen fibers and mineral deposits, mainly hydroxyapatite, that provide strength and rigidity. Collagen fibers give bones their tensile strength and flexibility, allowing them to withstand various forces. Additionally, the skeletal system contains connective tissues such as cartilage and ligaments, which also have fibrous components that contribute to joint stability and mobility. Overall, these fibers play a crucial role in maintaining the structure and function of the skeletal system.
What else can I help you with?
What fibers carry information from the skin joints and skeletal muscles to the central nervous system?
parasympathetic
What is a group of skeletal muscle fibers?
A skeletal muscle
Is skeletal muscle made of muscle fibers?
Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.
At what junction do nerves contact skeletal muscle fibers?
Motor neurons meet the muscle cells at neuromuscular junctions. Neurotransmitters are passed from the nerve across a synaptic cleft to the muscle to make it contract. Any damage to this nerve will mean that those cells will not contract (move).
What are the fibers that carry information from the skin joints and skeletal muscles to the nervous system?
Somatic nerves from the somatic nervous system
Skeletal muscle fibers are encased in?
Endomysium
What are skeletal muscle fibers enclosed in?
endomysium
True or false smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscles?
smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscle
The delicate connective tisssue that surrounds the skeletal muscle fibers and ties adjacent muscle fibers together is the?
The delicate connective tissue that surrounds the skeletal muscle fibers and ties adjacent muscle fibers together is the endomysium.
Do Skeletal muscle fibers tend to be shorter than smooth muscle fibers?
False
What types of fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.
What is the contractile organelle of skeletal muscle fibers is?
myofibrils
