3 types of vertebrate muscle tissue
But peristaltic contractions of the intestine differ in duration and nature from the muscular contractions which flex your arm, and different types of muscle are used to accomplish each. The three types of muscle found in vertebrates are: (1) smooth, (2) skeletal, and (3) cardiac.All three muscle tissues are composites comprised of (1) muscle cells, (2) connective tissue, (3) nerve fibers, and (4) blood vessels.he muscle cells themselves are elongate, and are often referred to as muscle fibers. These contain the intracellular contractile elements, the myofilaments. The intracellular organization of these elements is greatest in skeletal muscle and least in smooth muscle. Muscle tissue varies with function and location in the body. In mammals the three types are: skeletal or striated muscle; smooth or non-striated muscle; and cardiac muscle, which is sometimes known as semi-striated.uscle tissue is a soft tissue that composes muscles in animal bodies, and gives rise to muscles' ability to contract. This is opposed to other components or tissues in muscle such as tendons or perimysium.  There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscle is a voluntary type of muscle tissue that is used in the contraction of skeletal parts. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels.It is an involuntary type.There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscle is a voluntary type of muscle tissue that is used in the contraction of skeletal parts. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels. It is an involuntary type. The muscle cells are wrapped by fibroconnective tissue which maintains the shape of the muscle, and carries the blood vessels and nerves to the muscle tissue. The muscle cells themselves are elongate, and are often referred to as muscle fibers. These contain the intracellular contractile elements, the myofilaments.The intracellular organization of these elements is greatest in skeletal muscle and least in smooth muscle. The three types of muscle are described in more detail below.he muscle cells themselves are elongate, and are often referred to as muscle fibers. These contain the intracellular contractile elements, the myofilaments. The intracellular organization of these elements is greatest in skeletal muscle and least in smooth muscle. Muscle tissues are derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells in a process known as myogenesis. There are three types of muscle, skeletal or striated, cardiac, and smooth.Muscle action can be classified as being either voluntary or involuntary.he three types of muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) have significant differences. However, all three use the movement of actin against myosin to create contraction. In skeletal muscle, contraction is stimulated by electrical impulses transmitted by the nerves, the motoneurons (motor nerves) in particular. There are four basic types of tissues recognized in higher animals, epithelial, connective, muscular and nerve. This activity focuses on muscle tissue. Students should complete the worksheet before you compare and contrast the different types of muscle cells.A muscle is a tissue that performs different functions which cause some sort of movement to take place. There are three different types of muscle cells: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.The various muscles of our bodies serve as the engines or powerhouses of the body and are so constructed to provide speed and power.Each muscle cell is designed for various functions that are needed by a certain area in the body. muscle is a tissue that performs different functions which cause some sort of movement to take place. There are three different types of muscle cells: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. 1 Selective Comparisons of 3 Types of Tissues:EpithelialConnectiveMuscle Biology 453Comparative Vertebrate anatomyWinter 2006Epidermis: upper layer of cells in integument.Epithelial tissues: cells attach tightly to neighboring cells.Functions: form barriers, may secrete or reabsorb fluids.

Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals. Muscle cells contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell.he three types of muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) have significant differences. However, all three use the movement of actin against myosin to create contraction. In skeletal muscle, contraction is stimulated by electrical impulses transmitted by the nerves, the motoneurons (motor nerves) in particular. 1 There are 4 main types of tissue namely: epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous tissues. 2  Epithelial tissues form the skin and line the gut, respiratory tract, bladder etc. 3  Connective tissues form tendons, ligaments, adipose tissue, blood, cartilage and bone, and are found in the dermis of the skin.
