MUSCLES: Skeletal muscle o Voluntary Striated Cardiac muscles o Involuntary Striated Smooth / Visceral muscles o Involuntary _ Non striated Tendons connect bone to muscles. Epimysium / Fascia cover the muscles. Muscle is composed of numerous

visible bundles called Muscle Fasciculi which is surrounded by loose connective tissue called Perimysium. A fasciculus is composed of several Muscle Fibers ( contains nuclei / capillary ) . Each is surrounded by Endomysium. Inside the muscle fibers is the basic structural and functional unit of muscle called Sarcomere. Each sarcomere contains Actin & Myosin ( myofilament ). It also contains Z disk ( anchors the actin myofilament ) & M disk ( anchors the myosin myofilament ).
