- The muscle fibers that make up skeletal muscle are called myofibers and consist of long, cylindrical, multinucleated cells. These cells are made of actin and myosin fibers repeated as a sacromere. Therefore skeletal muscle cells are long, cylindrical, multinucleated cells made of actin and myosin myofibers. They come together to create the fibers which make up tissues such as skeletal muscle tissue. 6 people found this useful.

Skeletal Muscle Anatomy & Physiology. Skeletal muscles are composed of many individual cells known as muscle fibers. Muscle fibers have multiple nuclei and are located below a plasma membrane called the sarcolemma.

Extraocular Muscle Anatomy Structure of the Extraocular Muscles. Extraocular muscles differ histologically from most other skeletal muscles in that they are made up of 2 different types of muscle cells. Each muscle cell is composed of groups of myofibrils called sarcomeres.

- Skeletal muscle is made up of individual muscle cells or myocytes, known as muscle fibers. They are formed from the fusion of developmental myoblasts (a type of embryonic progenitor cell that gives rise to a muscle cell) in a process known as myogenesis. Muscle fibres are cylindrical, and multinucleated.uscle fibers are in turn composed of myofibrils. The myofibrils are composed of actin and myosin filaments, repeated in units called sarcomeres, the basic functional units of the muscle fiber.

Sarcolemma A special feature of the sarcolemma is that it invaginates into the cytoplasm of the muscle cell, forming membranous tubules radially and longitudinally within the fiber called transverse tubules (T-tubules).he sarcolemma generally maintains the same function in muscle cells as the plasma membrane does in other eukaryote cells.

Structure of Skeletal Muscle Each compartment contains a bundle of muscle fibers. Each bundle of muscle fiber is called a fasciculus and is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the perimysium. Within the fasciculus, each individual muscle cell, called a muscle fiber, is surrounded by connective tissue called the endomysium. Skeletal muscles have an abundant supply of blood vessels and nerves. Before a skeletal muscle fiber can contract, it has to receive an impulse from a neuron.

Sarcomere A sarcomere (Greek sarx flesh, meros part) is the basic unit of striated muscle tissue. Skeletal muscles are composed of tubular muscle cells (myocytes called muscle fibers) which are formed in a process known as myogenesis.Muscle fibers are composed of tubular myofibrils.Myofibrils are composed of repeating sections of sarcomeres, which appear under the microscope as dark and light bands. Sarcomeres are composed of long, fibrous proteins as filaments that slide past each other when a muscle contracts or relaxes.uscle fibers are composed of tubular myofibrils.

Structure and Function of Skeletal Muscle It is through this connective tissue that the force generated by the individual cells is transmitted to the bone. A group of muscle cells are bundled together by collagen to form a fascicle. Since muscle cells are elongated and cylindrical, each muscle cell is usually called a muscle fiber.In skeletal muscle, the muscle fibers are very large, multinucleated, and up to several millimeters in length.he contraction of a muscle fiber is triggered by an action potential conducting over plasma membrane of the muscle fiber. The action potential conducts from the surface of the muscle fiber into the interior via transverse tubules (T tubules).

Myocyte Each muscle fiber contains myofibrils, which are very long chains of sarcomeres, the contractile units of the cell. A cell from the biceps brachii muscle may contain 100,000 sarcomeres. The myofibrils of smooth muscle cells are not arranged into sarcomeres. The sarcomeres are composed of thin and thick filaments.ach muscle fiber contains myofibrils, which are very long chains of sarcomeres, the contractile units of the cell.

How Muscles Work A muscle fiber contains many myofibrils, which are cylinders of muscle proteins. These proteins allow a muscle cell to contract. Myofibrils contain two types of filaments that run along the long axis of the fiber, and these filaments are arranged in hexagonal patterns. There are thick and thin filaments.ll that any muscle can do is create contraction force. A muscle is a bundle of many cells called fibers. You can think of muscle fibers as long cylinders, and compared to other cells in your body, muscle fibers are quite big.

Parts of the Muscles Parts of the Muscles : Myofibrils and Sarcomeres. Myofibrils are cylindrical in shape and run length of muscle fiber. Striations of skeletal muscle fibers are formed by placement of myofilaments within units of myofibrils called sarcomeres. A sarcomere extends between two darklines called Z lines.

- Your skeletal muscles are made up of bunches of elongated, rod-shaped cells called muscle fibres. Each of your muscle cells is packed full of thinner fibres called myofibrils. These fibres contain protein filaments, called thick and thin myofilaments, which slide against each other when a muscle contracts.

- Sliding filament model of muscle contraction. A myofibril (also known as a muscle fibril) is a basic rod-like unit of a muscle cell. Muscles are composed of tubular cells called myocytes, known as muscle fibers in striated muscle, and these cells in turn contain many chains of myofibrils. Thin filaments consist primarily of the protein actin, coiled with nebulin filaments. 2  Actin, when polymerized into filaments, forms the ladder along which the myosin filaments climb to generate motion. 3  Thick filaments consist primarily of the protein myosin, held in place by titin filaments.

- Methane, CH4, is a chemical compound composed of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. It is one of the most common gases in the universe, as well as on Earth.While it is valued for its energy-production capabilities, methane also has the ability to potentially wreak havoc on the Earth's fragile ecosystems.his gas is a type of alkane, which are compounds composed only of carbon and hydrogen atoms in various numbers. In fact, methane is the simplest form of alkane. Despite the smells that some may be tempted to associate with the gas, it is odorless and colorless.

- In contrast to smooth muscle, cardiac and skeletal muscle types possess an internal ultrastructure of highly organized contractile myofilaments. Actin and myosin myofilaments are stacked and overlapped in regular repeating arrays to form sarcomeres.

- The sarcomere is the fundamental unit of muscle structure. Its capacity for contraction is the essential trait that makes muscles work.It has two primary components (1) thin filaments (each of which contains two strands of actin and a single strand of regulatory protein); and (2) thick filaments made of myosin (see diagram right).uring muscle contraction the thick filaments quickly slide along the thin filaments to shorten the myofibrils. The myofilaments themselves, however, do not contract. This is the action that give muscles their physical force.
