Sarcomere components/Types of Muscle Tissue
Across
- 3. Functional contractile unit of skeletal muscle; the distance between two adjacent Z discs
- 4. Also known as smooth muscle, non-striated muscle, and involuntary muscle. This muscle is found in most of the viscera.
- 6. Also known as skeletal muscle and striated muscle. Made to contract by conscious or voluntary control.
- 7. band containing thin filaments only and titin proteins
- 10. Lighter region in the middle of the A band; contains thick filaments only
- 11. Found in the heart.
- 12. proteins called connectins in the center of the I band where thin filaments attach
Down
- 1. A thin transverse protein meshwork that appears as a dark protein disc in the center of H zone where thick filaments attach
- 2. Also known as skeletal muscle and voluntary muscle. Named because under a microscope, this type of muscle is seen to contain dark colored stripes or striations.
- 3. Also known as voluntary muscle and striated muscle. Muscle attached to the bones of the skeleton.
- 5. Also known as non-striated muscle, involuntary muscle, and visceral muscle. Microscopically, the muscle tissue does not contain striations associated with skeletal muscle.
- 8. Also known as smooth muscle, non-striated muscle, and visceral muscle. It is found in various organs which work "automatically", and not under our conscious control, such as our internal viscera.
- 9. Dark band in the middle of the sarcomere, composed of entire thick filaments and on its lateral end regions of overlapping thin filaments
