3 types of muscle tissue in the muscular system - Skeletal muscle, Cardiac muscle,
Smooth muscle
Skeletal muscle - Attached to bones of skeleton . Voluntary ( consciously controlled )
striated , multinucleated , only contracts when neurons signal them to contract , most abundant
muscle
Cardiac muscle - Makes up most of the wall of the heart for pumping of heart to move
blood . Involuntary ( non - consciously controlled ) , striated , singly nucleated , can contract on
its own ( self - exciting ) , least abundant muscle . Responsible for pumping action of the heart
Smooth muscle - Found in walls of internal organs , such as those of digestive tract,
Involuntary ( non - consciously controlled ) , non - striated , single nucleated , can contract on its
own ( self - exciting ) second most abundant muscle
Fascia - Thin covering of connective tissue around a muscle ... helps isolate one muscle
from another ... just superficial to the epimysium
Tendon - Cord - like mass of connective tissue ( dense regular connective tissue ... has a
lot of collagen ) that connects muscle to a bone's periosteum
Aponeurosis - Sheet - like mass of connective tissue that connects a muscle to bone , skin
, or another muscle
Epimysium - surrounds whole muscle ; lies beneath fascia
Perimysium - Surrounds fascicles ( bundles of muscle cells / myocytes ) within a muscle
Endomysium - surrounds muscle fibers ( cells ) within a fascicle
