level questions: Connective Tissue Components of Muscles
Question
Answer
It is a sheet or broad band of fibrous connective tissue that supports and surrounds muscle and other organs of the body.
Fascia
It separates the muscle from the skin
Superficial Fascia (Subcutaneous Fats)
It contains adipose tissue that insulates the body
Superficial Fascia (Subcutaneous Fats)
It lines the body walls and the limbs
Deep Fascia
It holds muscle with similar function together
Deep Fascia
It allows free movement of muscles, carries nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels.
Deep Fascia
Fills the space between muscles
Fascia
Three layers of connective tissue that extend from the deep fascia:
Epimysium Perimysium Endomysium
A dense layer of collagen fibers that surrounds the entire muscle
Epimysium
It separates the muscle from surrounding tissues and organs
Epimysium
Surrounds group of 10 to 100 or more individual bundles of muscle fibers called a fascicle
Perimysium
Surrounds the individual skeletal muscle fibers (fascicle) and interconnects adjacent muscle fibers
Endomysium
Scattered between the endomysium and the muscle fibers are satellite cells, embryonic stem cells that function in the repair of damaged muscle tissue
Endomysium
Narrow bands of connective tissue that connect muscles to bone
Tendons
Bands of connective tissue that join bone to bone
Ligaments
Bands of connective tissue that attach flat muscle to another muscle or to several bones
Aponeuroses
The attachment of the muscle tendons or aponeuroses to the stationary bone, which is usually proximal
Origin
It is the attachment of the other muscle tendons or aponeuroses to the movable bone which is usually distal
Insertion
