Whole Muscle Anatomy
Across
- 2. a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers;
- 6. also known as a myofiber, single multinucleated cells surrounded
- 7. a connective middle-layer tissue that wraps around a bundle of skeletal muscle cells (myofibers)
- 8. the membrane of each muscle fiber (or muscle cell)
Down
- 1. contractile fibers within muscle fibers, composed of cytoskeletal proteins called mofilaments (actin & myosin)
- 3. loose connective tissue that envelopes each muscle fiber, and connects adjacent muscle fibers together, within each fascicle.
- 4. the outermost fibrous tissue layer that is thick, dense, and encloses muscle groups.
- 5. sheath of dense, irregular connective tissue that wraps each skeletal muscle; allows a muscle to contract and move powerfully while maintaining structural integrity.
