Skeletal muscle to respond to a stimuli Excitability
Ability to be stretched Extensibility
Recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched Elasticity
Connective tissue sheath that surrounds skeletal muscle Epimysium
Connective tissue located outside the epimysium Fascia
Muscle cells Fibers
A muscle is composed of numerous visible bundles Fasciculi (fasicle)
Fasciculi is surrounded by loose connective tissue called Permysium
Each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath Endomysium
The cytoplasm of each fiber is filled with Myofibrils
Threadlike structures that stretch from one end of the fiber to another Myofibrils
Myofibrils consist of two major kinds of protein fibers Actin & myosin
Thin myofilaments Actin
Thick myofilaments Myosin
Actin and myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units Sarcomeres
Join end to end to form the myofibril Sarcomeres
Basic structural and functional unity of the muscle Sarcomere
Occipito frontals Raise eyebrows
Orbicularis oculi Closes eyelids & causes "crows feet"
Orbicularis oris Puckers the mouth
