What is the name of a tissue specimen or surgical incsicion made along the transverse plane?
Transverse incision is also known as a horizontal or crosswise incision. It is made across the fibers of a muscle or tissue, typically in a direction parallel to the ground.
Irregular transverse thickenings of the sarcolemma?
Irregular transverse thickenings of the sarcolemma connect cardiac muscle fibers to neighboring muscle fibers. The gap junctions that occur with irregular transverse thickening of the sarcolemma allow the myocardium to contract as a single unit.
What is the name of the plane that divides the body into upper and lower sections?
The plane is called the transverse plane. It runs horizontally across the body, dividing it into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) sections.
What does the transverse tubules do?
Transverse tubules are extensions of the cell membrane that help to transmit action potentials deep into the muscle fibers. They allow for the rapid and synchronized release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to trigger muscle contraction.
What criteria is used in naming transverse abdominis?
Criteria used to name the muscle, transverse abdomis was 1. Direction of the muscle fibers 2. Relative size of the muscle to the muscles around it 3. Location of the muscle 4. Number of origins 5. Location of the muscle's origin and insertion 6. Shape of the muscle 7. Action of the muscle
What type of muscle fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.
What muscle does an episiotomy involve?
superficial transverse perineal muscle
What types of fibers are there?

A portion of the body that is located above the transverse plane is said to be?
The Superior Plane
What are striated muscles marked with?
Striated muscle tissue is marked by transverse dark and light bands, which are made up of elongated fibers. These muscles include skeletal and usually cardiac muscle of vertebrates, and also most of the muscle of arthropods.
What plane divides the body into inferior and superior plane?
Transverse plane.
