  2. Striated muscle tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striated_muscle_tissue

    Striated muscle tissue is a muscle tissue that features repeating functional units called sarcomeres.The presence of sarcomeres manifests as a series of bands visible along the muscle fibers, which is responsible for the striated appearance observed in microscopic images of this tissue.

  3. Striatum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striatum

    The striatum (pl.: striata) or corpus striatum [5] is a cluster of interconnected nuclei that make up the largest structure of the subcortical basal ganglia. [6] The striatum is a critical component of the motor and reward systems; receives glutamatergic and dopaminergic inputs from different sources; and serves as the primary input to the rest of the basal ganglia.

  4. Striation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striation

    In hyperbolic geometry, a striation is a reflection across two parallel mirrors. In anatomy, striated muscle In acoustic phonetics, striations are vertical bands on a spectrogram associated with pulses of the vocal folds when producing voiced periodic sounds.

  5. Sarcomere - Wikipedia

    A sarcomere (Greek σάρξ sarx "flesh", μέρος meros "part") is the smallest functional unit of striated muscle tissue. [1] It is the repeating unit between two Z-lines

  6. Skeletal muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle

    Skeletal muscle (commonly referred to as muscle) is one of the three types of vertebrate muscle tissue, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.They are part of the voluntary muscular system [1] and typically are attached by tendons to bones of a skeleton.

  7. Myofilament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofilament

    The protein complex composed of actin and myosin, contractile proteins, is sometimes referred to as actomyosin.In striated skeletal and cardiac muscle, the actin and myosin filaments each have a specific and constant length in the order of a few micrometers, far less than the length of the elongated muscle cell (up to several centimeters in some skeletal muscle cells). [5]

    Anatomy Neuromuscular ... There are three types of muscle tissue in invertebrates that are based on their pattern of striation: transversely striated, obliquely ...

  9. Cardiac muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_muscle

    Cardiac muscle (also called heart muscle or myocardium) is one of three types of vertebrate muscle tissues, the others being skeletal muscle and smooth muscle.It is an involuntary, striated muscle that constitutes the main tissue of the wall of the heart.
