Basic Muscles
Fascile
Compartment of muscle fiber (aka muscle cell)
What does an aponeurosis do
Connects muscle that need a wide area of attachment
What does a tendon do
Connects muscle to bone by intertwining with periosteum
What is a tendon
Cordlike structure made of dense connective tissue
Subserous fascia
Covers organ
What is an aponeurosis
Dense connective tissue form a sheet-like structure
Fascia
Dense, connective tissue that surrounds and separate each muscle (may project beyond ends of the muscle to form tendon)
Subcutaneous Fascia
Just under the skin
Perimysium
Layer of connective tissue separates muscles into fascicles
Where is an aponeurosis found
Palms, soles, abdomen, back, and cranium
Basic Structure
Skeletal muscle tissue, nervous tissue, and connective tissue
Deep Fascia
Surround or penetrate muscle
Endomysium
layer of connective tissue surrounding each skeletal muscle fiber
Epimysium
layer of connective tissue under fascia (around entire muscle)
