Explanation / Answer

Excitability- reaction or response of a tissue to stimulation. Origin - fixed attachment of skeleton muscle to bones by means of tendon insertion - moves with contraction action - particular movement of a muscle in relation to a joint or body part moved Muscle fibre - muscle mass is made up of large no if muscle cells also known as muscle fibres, they are elongated in shape. epimysium - connective tissue sheath covering the muscle. Perimysium - in a muscle muscle fibre are arranged in fasciculi , connective tissue sheath covering each fasciculi is called perimysium endomysium - each muscle fibre is cover by endomysium tendon - muscle fibres are attached to a tough cord of connective tissue called tendon , i.e. In turn attached to bone. Fascicles- bundle or group of muscle fibres sarcolemma - plasma membrane covering the muscle fibres t tubules - invagination of sarcolemma in to the muscle fibre . sarcoplasmic reticulum - these are L tubules , they store large quantities of calcium ion which are releases during action potential. Sarcomere - structural and functional unit of a skeletons muscle. Basic contractile unit myofibril- fine parallel filaments present in the sarcoplasm of the muscle cells. Action potential - series of electrical changes that occurs In the membrane potential when a muscle is stimulated. Skeletal and cardiac muscles are striated while smooth muscles are non striated
