| Organization of actin and myosin in striated (skeletal
and cardiac) and smooth muscle. |
|
| Skeletal muscle: gross structure of muscle (myofibre
bundles); myofibre structure: sarcolemma, sarcoplasm, sarcoplasmic
reticulum, myofibrils, myofilaments, motor end plate, T-tubules. |
epimysium, perimysium, endomysium |
| Cardiac muscle as a functional syncytium; contractile
signal transmission in the heart. |
|
| Smooth muscle structure, innervation and nerve
signalling. |
|
|
Limitations on regeneration and repair following muscle
damage. |
| Histology: functional and metabolic characteristics of
different fibre types. Distribution of different fibre types between
muscles. |
