Muscular System
4.11. Muscle tissue
o Muscle cell = muscle fibre - contractile proteins known as filaments
o Tend to have prefix "sarco" e.g. sarcolemma = plasma/cell membrane
o 4.11.1. cells and associated tissues/structures
A skeletal muscle contains muscle tissue, connective tissues, blood vessel and
nerves
o 4.11.2. functions and properties
Has excitability/irritability due to polarised membrane - ability to
contract/shorten and relax/lengthen to produce movement
All muscle cells contain protein myofilaments actin and myosin that interact to
produce contraction and relaxation
4.12 and 4.16 The three types of muscle tissue and key histological features of the three
types of muscle tissue
o 4.12.1. skeletal, smooth and cardiac
4.12.1.1. functions
4.12.1.2. locations
4.12.1.3. regenerative ability
o 4.16.1 movement
4.16.1.1 muscle tone
4.16.1.2 definition of types of movement
4.16.1.3 control of movement)

4.13. Skeletal muscle
o 4.13.1. structure: histology and gross
3 layers to muscle, each having a collagen-rich connective tissue later
Endomysium - inside
Areolar/loose CT
Surrounds individual muscle cells
Not that much collagen
Neurons and blood vessels down to muscle fibres
Contains capillaries, myosatellite cells, and nerve fibres that
control muscle cells
Perimysium - around
dense irregular CT
Surrounds bundles of wrapped muscle cells (fascicles)

Lots of collagen fibres
Protective layer
Contains blood vessels and nerves that branch to each fascicle
Epimysium - outer
Dense irregular CT
Very protective
Keep all fascicles together in the right alignment
Surrounds entire muscle (bundles of fascicles, blood vessels and nerves)
Collagen fibres from all 3 CT layers join together -> tendons or sheets -> extend
into bone matrix -> attach muscle to bone
o 4.13.2. names and locations of key muscles
