A&p Ch.10--Muscle Tissue

Front 1

what are the 3 types of muscle tissue?

Back 1

1. skeletal
2. smooth
3. cardiac

Front 2

each cell in skeletal muscle tissue is a single muscle ___.

Back 2

fiber

Front 3

what are the 6 functions of the skeletal muscles?

Back 3

1. produce skelelal movement
2. maintain posture and body
position
3. support soft tissues
4. guard entrances and exits
5. maintain body temperature
6. store nutrient reserves

Front 4

what are the 3 layers of connective tissue that are part of each muscle?

Back 4

1.epimysium
2. perimysium
3. endomysium

Front 5

describe epimysium

Back 5

dense collagen fiber that surrounds entire muscle; separates muscle from surronding tissues and organs; connected to deep fascia (dense connective tissue)

Front 6

describe perimysium

Back 6

divide skeletal muscle into a series of compartments, each containing fascicle; contains blood vessels and nerves that maintain blood flow and innervate muscle fibers w/i the fascicles

Front 7

describe endomysium

Back 7

surrounds the individual muscle fibers and loosely interconnects adjacent muscle fibers; (1)capillary networks (2)satellite cells-repair(3)nerve fibers that control muscle
