3 Types of muscles

1. Skeletal

2.. Cardiac

3. Smooth
Muscle can be classified :

1. Functionally
- as to whether it is controlled
(voluntarily) or not (involuntarily)

2. Structurally
- as to whether it shows cross
(striations) or not (smooth)
Unique terms of components of
muscle cell
Sarcolemma
Sarcoplasm
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Sarcosomes




Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Smooth endoplasmic
reticulum
Mitochondria
Classification of muscle



Striated voluntary muscle
 this is skeletal, - it is attached to bone
Striated involuntary muscle or cardiac muscle
 found only in the heart and sometimes in the
walls of large blood vessels near the heart
Smooth involuntary muscle
 present in the walls of hollow organs (except
the heart), blood vessels and lymphatics.
A note on the use of the term
‘fibre’

A muscle fibre is a cell, the cytoplasm of
which is filled with contractile elements.

Connective tissue fibres are intercellular (i.e
extracellular) formations.

A nerve fibre is elongated part of a neuron.
