02.02 Skeletal Muscle
Before submitting your written response, check that:
It compares three specific muscles in the human body that vary in muscle tissue type in terms of:
Presence or absence of striations (5 points)
Size, shape, and arrangement of fibers (5 points)
Function/s resulting from the muscle contraction (5 points)
Relationship of muscle cell properties to muscle function (10 points)
The table is clear, well-organized, written in complete sentences, correct language use, etc. (0 to 5 points)
Slides:
Are there striations across the width of the muscle cells?
Number of Nuclei?
What are the size, shape, and arrangement of fibers?
What function occurs as a result of the contractions in the selected muscle? (see page 3 of the lesson)
What is the relationship between structure and function in the selected muscle? (see page 3 of the lesson)
Muscle - Human Cardiac
Yes, there are striations across the width of the Human Cardiac Muscle cells.
There is one nucleus.
The fibers are striated and branched with the single nucleus. The sizes of the fibers are quite large, actually.
As a result of the contractions in the Human Cardiac Muscle cells, it keeps your heart beating. A good thing about this is, the tissue can be controlled involuntary therefore you do not have to worry about the way your heart beats.
The relationship between the structure and function of the Human Cardiac Muscle cells is, in the structure, the fibers are branched together connected to the single nucleus, while the function of the tissue is to pump blood throughout the whole body.
Intestines - Outer Wall Detail(smooth muscle)
No, there are no striations across the width of the Outer Intestine Wall cells.
There is one nucleus.
The fibers are not striated, and the fibers are short. The sizes of the fibers are quite small; smaller than the skeletal cells in fact.
As a result of the contractions in the Outer Wall Intestine
