Visceral Skeleton • Spanchnocranium • Develops within the pharyngeal arches • Fishes – • jaw skeleton • Gill arches
Squalus Cartilages of the Pharyngeal arches Palatoquadrate (I) Meckel’s cartilage (I) Ceratohyal (II) III IV V VI VII 1st Basibranchial 2nd Basibranchial
Overheads • Mandibles • Skeletal derivatives of pharyngeal arches
Few general notes on muscle… • Terminology • Sarco- “flesh”; myo- “muscle” • Sarcolemma – cell membrane • Sarcoplasm – cell cytoplasm • Sarcoplasmic Reticulum – Smooth ER of cell • Sarcosomes – mitochondria of cell • Muscle fibers – muscle cell • Cell morphology – elongated, may be multinucleated • Full of contractile proteins (ex. actin, myosin) • 3 types • skeletal, cardiac, smooth • All derived from embryological mesoderm
3 Types of Muscle • Striated • Alternating light and dark bands • Two types • Skeletal • Cardiac • Most of the voluntary muscle in body • Smooth • not striated • Located in walls of blood vessels and viscera
Skeletal muscle morphology • Size – 30-150 μm diam. • Hypertrophied muscle > 100 μm • Strength of fiber proportional to diam. • Strength of muscle: • Number of fibers • Thickness of component fibers • Muscle consists of: • Muscle fibers • CT (non-cellular fibers) • Tendons – muscle to bone • Aponeuroses – muscle to muscle • General Appearance • Pink – red • Due to rich vascular supply and the presence of myoglobin pigments • Characterization • Red, White, Intermediate
Muscle tissue cross-section in child • ATPase Stain – dark • “white” muscle – dark • “red” muscle - lighter
Investments of skeletal muscle • Purpose – conserve energy • Epimysium – around entire muscle • Dense irregular collagenous connective tissue • Continuous with tendon • Perimysium – surrounds fascicles of muscle fibers (fascicle = bundle) • Less collagenous • Derived from epimysium • Endomysium – surrounds each muscle fiber • Reticular fibers • External lamina (basal lamina)
