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 fascicle arrangement does the rectus femoris have?

The rectus femoris muscle has a parallel fascicle arrangement, meaning its muscle fibers run parallel to the long axis of the muscle. This arrangement allows for strong contraction forces and efficient movement.


What carries cardiac impulses to the myocardium?

Cardiac impulses are carried to the myocardium via specialized muscle cells called Purkinje fibers. These fibers are part of the cardiac conduction system and help to transmit electrical signals rapidly and efficiently throughout the heart muscle.


What cells make up the myocardium?

The myocardium is composed of cardiomyocytes, which are specialized muscle cells that form the heart muscle tissue. These cells are responsible for contraction of the heart and pumping blood throughout the body.


How are muscle fibers arranged to form a muscle?

Muscle fibers can be arranged into two basic structural patterns, fusiform and pinnate. Most human muscles are fusiform, with the fibers largely arranged parallel along the muscle's longitudinal axis. In many of the larger muscles the fibers are inserted obliquely into the tendon, and this arrangement resembles a feather. The fibers in a pinnate (feather) muscle are shorter than those of a fusiform muscle. The arrangement of pinnate muscle fibers can be single or double, as in muscles of the forearm, or multipinnate, as in the gluteus maximus or deltoid.

What is the syncytial arrangement of cardiac muscle fibers?

only skeletal muscle has a syncytial arrangement becausesyncytial means multinucleated and only skeletal muscle is multinucleated.
