Specific Objectives:
At the end of this lecture, the student will be able to:
- Describe the basic structural and functional characteristics that distinguish muscular tissues from the other tissue types.
- Compare and contrast the 3 major types of muscle tissues.
- Describe the relationship between skeletal muscle fascicles, fibers, myofibrils, and myofilaments.
- Describe the molecular composition of the sarcomere.
- Describe the process of skeletal muscle stimulation and contraction.
Lectures:
