  1. Connective tissue in skeletal muscle

    Each skeletal muscle consists of two kinds of tissue connective tissue , and muscle tissue . Connective tissue of skeletal muscle contains Layers of connective tissue Tendon , and sometimes aponeurosis The layers of connective tissue have a major role in protection and covering of muscle fibers , muscle fascicles , and an entire skeletal muscle. Tendons attach the skeletal muscles to bones. Aponeurosis is structurally as tendon that connects the muscles together, or to bone. Layers of connective tissue There are three layers of connective tissue in a skeletal muscle Epimysium Perimysium Endomysium These layers are considered as part of each skeletal muscle. Epimysium The epimysium surrounds the whole skeletal muscle. This is a dense layer of connective tissue. The fascia forms an integument around the epimysium. Perimysium The perimysium encompasses the muscle fascicles. A fascicle contains a group of muscle fibers or muscle cells . There are blood vessels and nerves in the perimysium to muscle fascicles. Endomysium The endomysium surrounds each single muscle fiber. A muscle fiber is known as a muscle cell. The endomysium separates the muscle fibers of a fascicle. This is a thin, delicate covering of connective tissue. Layers of a tendon Tendon is a dense connective tissue that attaches the muscle to bone, or to other muscles. Their collagen fibers contain the primary and secondary fascicles. The layers of connective tissue in each tendon from outside to inside include Paratenon Epitenon Endotenon Features Connective tissue of skeletal muscle has two important characteristics Extensibility ability to stretch Elasticity ability to return to its original shape after stretching In addition to the above features, muscle tissue has other two properties Irritability Contractility ability to contract See also Endomysium Perimysium Epimysium Connective tissue in the peripheral ...

  1. Skeletal-muscle pump

    The skeletal muscle pump is a collection of skeletal muscle s that aid the heart in the circulation of blood . It is especially important in increasing venous return to the heart, but may also play a role in arterial blood flow. Arterial blood pumping Between muscle contractions, intramuscular pressure transiently returns to a level below the venous blood pressure and blood from the capillary system refills the veins until the next contraction. It is postulated that this change in pressure may be great enough to actually create a vacuum that draws blood from the arterial side to the venous side. It is hypothesized that this vacuum during rhythmic contraction actually increases blood flow through the muscle and may be responsible for a portion of the increase in muscle blood flow immediately at the onset of activity. ref Sheriff D. Point The muscle pump raises muscle blood flow during locomotion. J Appl Physiol. 2005 Jul 99 1 371 2. ref ref Clifford PS, Hamann JJ, Valic Z, Buckwalter JB. Counterpoint The muscle pump is not an important determinant of muscle blood flow during exercise. J Appl Physiol. 2005 Jul 99 1 372 4 ref While this explanation is attractive because it would explain the readily observable tight coupling between muscle contraction and a rapid increase in muscle blood flow, recent evidence has emerged that cast doubts on this theory. Experiments have shown that a strong muscle contraction can occur without a corresponding increase in skeletal muscle blood flow. ref Hamann, J. J., J. B. Buckwalter, and P. S. Clifford. Vasodilation is obligatory for contraction induced hyperemia in canine skeletal muscle. Journal of Physiology London . 557 1013 1020, 2004. ref Given the proposed manner of action of the muscle pump to increase arterial blood flow, it would seem impossible for a muscle contraction and skeletal muscle hyperemia to be uncoupled.

They are commonly built as aids to navigation most of them are not considered to be lighthouses. However, during the late nineteenth century and the first years of the twentieth, larger skeletal towers were installed at light stations throughout the United States. These lights were originally tended by keepers, so they were and are listed as lighthouses. Skeletal towers became very popular with Congress because they cost less than half the price of a stone or brick tower of the same height. Since they were assembled from prefabricated sections, they could be built quickly, even at remote locations. If necessary, they could also be disassembled and shipped to a new location.

  1. Skeletal pneumaticity

    Skeletal pneumaticity is the presence of air spaces within bones. Skeletal pneumaticity exists only in synapsid s and archosaur s. It is generally produced during development by excavation of bone by pneumatic diverticula air sacs from an air filled space such as the lungs or nasal cavity. Pneumatization is highly variable between individuals, and bones not normally pneumatized can become pneumatized in pathological development. File Paranasal sinuses numbers.svg thumb right The paranasal sinuses in a human, an example of skeletal pneumatization Cranial pneumaticity Pneumatization occurs in the skulls of mammal s, crocodilian s and bird s among extant groups, as well as extinct archosaur s including the dinosaur s and pterosaur s. Pneumatic spaces include the paranasal sinuses and some of the mastoid cells .

  1. Agonist (muscle)

    Unreferenced stub date December 2009 Agonist is a classification used to describe a muscle that causes specific movement or possibly several movements to occur through the process of its own contraction. This is typically a term designated for skeletal muscles. Agonists are also referred to, interchangeably, as prime movers , since they are the muscles being considered that are primarily responsible for generating a specific movement. For an agonist to be effective as a mover in the skeletal system, it must actually cross one or more structure s that can move. This is typically where the muscle crosses a joint by way of a connecting tendon. As the myofibril s of a muscle are excited into action and then contract, they will create tension and pull through the tendon and pull the lever arm of bone on the opposite side of the joint closer to the muscle s origin.
