    Muscle cells, commonly known as myocytes, are the cells that make up muscle tissue. There are 3 types of muscle cells in the human body; cardiac, skeletal, and smooth. Cardiac and skeletal myocytes are sometimes referred to as muscle fibers due to their long and fibrous shape.

    A muscle cell, also known as a myocyte, is a mature contractile cell in the muscle of an animal. [1] . In humans and other vertebrates there are three types: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac (cardiomyocytes). [2] . A skeletal muscle cell is long and threadlike with many nuclei and is called a muscle fiber. [3] .

  5. The muscle cell, also known as the myocyte is the smallest subunit of all muscular tissues and organs throughout the body. It is here in the myocyte, where the physiological steps of muscle contraction and where the pathophysiology of numerous muscular diseases takes place.

  6. Muscle cells, also called myocytes, are the basic building blocks of the muscle tissues in the body. Muscle cells drive our movement and body functions.

    Introduction. This article is about skeletal myocytes. Myocytes, sometimes called muscle fibers, form the bulk of muscle tissue. They are bound together by perimysium, a sheath of connective tissue, into bundles called fascicles, which are in turn bundled together to form muscle tissue.

    So once again, more connective tissues, has capillaries in it, has nerves in it, all of the things that have to eventually come in contact with muscle cells. We're inside of a single muscle. All this green connective tissue is endomysium. And each of these things that are in the endomysium are an actual muscle cell.
