Satellite cells help to repair skeletal muscle cells. Smooth muscle tissue can regenerate from stem cells called pericytes, whereas dead cardiac muscle tissue is replaced by scar tissue. Aging causes muscle mass to decrease and be replaced by noncontractile connective tissue and adipose tissue.

During embryogenesis, skeletal muscle forms in the vertebrate limb from progenitor cells originating in the somites. These cells delaminate from the hypaxial edge of the dorsal part of the somite, the dermomyotome, and migrate into the limb bud, ...

A muscle cell, known technically as a myocyte, is a specialized animal cell which can shorten its length using a series of motor proteins specially arranged within the cell. While several associated proteins help, actin and myosin form thick and thin filaments which slide past each other to contract small units of a muscle cell. These units are cal...
As seen in the image below, a muscle cell is a compact bundle of many myofibrils. Each myofibril is made of many sarcomeres bundled together and attached end-to-end. A specialized form of the endoplasmic reticulum, known as the sarcoplasmic reticulum, extends in and around these myofibril bundles. The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR for short) concentra...
To activate a muscle, the brain sends an impulse down a nerve. The nerve impulse travels down the nerve cells to the neuromuscular junction, where a nerve cell meets a muscle cell. The impulse is transferred to the nerve cell and travels down specialized canals in the sarcolemma to reach the transverse tubules. The energy in the transverse tubules ...
1. Certain heart defects can be inherited genetically. Some of these defects occur because the genetic code responsible for creating actin or myosin is a mutant variation. Why would this affect the heart? A. Actin and Myosin control contractions in the heart B. If your muscles don’t work, your heart cannot pump enough blood to them C.The heart need...
Jan 31, 2018 · The fusion of muscle precursor cells is a required event for proper skeletal muscle development and regeneration. Numerous proteins have been implicated to function in myoblast fusion; however, the majority are expressed in diverse tissues and regulate numerous cellular processes.

Myogenesis during embryonic and fetal phases is involved in the process of muscle development. During primary myogenesis, skeletal muscle progenitor myoblasts are formed after the differentiation of epiblast, mesoderm progenitor, presomitic progenitor, and aPSM‐dermomyotomal progenitor cells.
Go to: New Skeletal Muscle Fibers Form by the Fusion of Myoblasts. The previous chapter described how certain cells, originating from the somites of a vertebrate embryo at a very early stage, become determined as myoblasts, the precursors of skeletal muscle fibers.

The axial muscles derive from the pre-otic somites, are located in the neck, and move the head. The laryngoglossal muscles derive from the pre-otic somites and branchial arch (BA) mesoderm and contribute to the movement of the muscles of larynx, mouth and tongue.
