medical health heart and cardiovascular diseasesHow are skeletal muscle Fibres organized?
Furthermore, how is a skeletal muscle organized?
A skeletal muscle organ is arranged into several fascicles. Myofibrils are organelles within the muscle cell that contain thick and thin myofilaments. The myofilaments are organized into sarcomeres, and they serve as the functional units of skeletal muscle. The sarcomeres are butted up end-to-end along the myofibril.
In respect to this, what are the levels of organization of skeletal muscle?
Muscular System Levels of Organization Microscopic level — sarcomere and myofibrils. Cell level — myoblasts and myofibers. Tissue level — neuromuscular junctions and fascicles. Organ level — major skeletal muscles of the body.
Each skeletal muscle fiber is a single cylindrical muscle cell. An individual skeletal muscle may be made up of hundreds, or even thousands, of muscle fibers bundled together and wrapped in a connective tissue covering. Each muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the epimysium.
