Pumping the blood throughout the body. 5. Communication - writing and verbal Specialized Cells (Myocytes) ~ Contractile Cells Can shorten along one or more planes because of specialized cell membrane (sarcolemma) and specialized cytoskeleton. Specialized Structures found in Myocytes Sarcolemma: The cell membrane of a muscle cell Transverse tubule: a tubular invagination of the sarcolemma of skeletal or cardiac muscle fibers that surrounds myofibrils; involved in transmitting the action potential from the sarcolemma to the interior of the myofibril. Sarcoplasmic Reticulum: The special type of smooth endoplasmic Myofibrils: reticulum found in smooth and a contractile fibril of skeletal muscle, composed striated muscle fibers whose function mainly of actin and myosin is to store and release calcium ions. Multiple Nuclei (skeletal) & many mitochondria Skeletal Muscle - Microscopic Anatomy A whole skeletal muscle (such as the biceps brachii) is considered an organ of the muscular system. Each organ consists of skeletal muscle tissue, connective tissue, nerve tissue, and blood or vascular tissue. -
VIEW Open Access Muscle Spindle Function in Healthy and Diseased Muscle Stephan Kröger* and Bridgette Watkins
Kröger and Watkins Skeletal Muscle (2021) 11:3 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13395-020-00258-x REVIEW Open Access Muscle spindle function in healthy and diseased muscle Stephan Kröger* and Bridgette Watkins Abstract Almost every muscle contains muscle spindles. These delicate sensory receptors inform the central nervous system (CNS) about changes in the length of individual muscles and the speed of stretching. With this information, the CNS computes the position and movement of our extremities in space, which is a requirement for motor control, for maintaining posture and for a stable gait. Many neuromuscular diseases affect muscle spindle function contributing, among others, to an unstable gait, frequent falls and ataxic behavior in the affected patients. Nevertheless, muscle spindles are usually ignored during examination and analysis of muscle function and when designing therapeutic strategies for neuromuscular diseases. This review summarizes the development and function of muscle spindles and the changes observed under pathological conditions, in particular in the various forms of muscular dystrophies. Keywords: Mechanotransduction, Sensory physiology, Proprioception, Neuromuscular diseases, Intrafusal fibers, Muscular dystrophy In its original sense, the term proprioception refers to development of head control and walking, an early im- sensory information arising in our own musculoskeletal pairment of fine motor skills, sensory ataxia with un- system itself [1–4]. Proprioceptive information informs steady gait, increased stride-to-stride variability in force us about the contractile state and movement of muscles, and step length, an inability to maintain balance with about muscle force, heaviness, stiffness, viscosity and ef- eyes closed (Romberg’s sign), a severely reduced ability fort and, thus, is required for any coordinated move- to identify the direction of joint movements, and an ab- ment, normal gait and for the maintenance of a stable sence of tendon reflexes [6–12]. -

Even though macroscopic pathologies such as anemia, pale mucosa, icteric tissues, generalized edema, splenomegaly, liver and renal hypertrophy, abortion, anoestrus, emaciation, lymphadenopathies, striated muscle atrophy as well as epicardiac and endocardiac hemorrhages have been described for infections with the agent, no reports of any heart ultrastructural change in experimental or natural infections induced by Venezuelan T. evansi isolates are available. So, a transmission electron microscopic approach to the problem was needed. This work describes cell features of the cardiac myocyte and the cardiac microvasculature ultrastructure in mice experimentally infected with an equine local isolate of T. -

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Chondrocytes are the exclusive cells residing in cartilage and maintain the functionality of cartilage tissue. Series of biocomponents such as different growth factors, cytokines, and transcriptional factors regulate the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiation to chondrocytes. The number of chondrocytes and dedifferentiation are the key limitations in subsequent clinical application of the chondrocytes. Different culture methods are being developed to overcome such issues. Using tissue engineering and cell based approaches, chondrocytes offer prominent therapeutic option specifically in orthopedics for cartilage repair and to treat ailments such as tracheal defects, facial reconstruction, and urinary incontinence. Matrix-assisted autologous chondrocyte transplantation/implantation is an improved version of traditional autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT) method. An increasing number of studies show the clinical significance of this technique for the chondral lesions treatment. -

SUCCEEDING the buccal cavity in all earthworms is a swollen portion of the alimentary tube, the pharynx. The usual description of this portion of the tube in Lumbricus may be given in the words of Parker and Haswell (7): the "buccal cavity ... is followel by a much larger thick-walled, rounded chamber, the pharynx. From the wall VOL. 62, PART 3. NEW SERIES. 19 254 J. STEPJdENSON. of the pharynx there run outwards to the body-wall a number of radially arranged bundles of muscular fibres which, when they contract, draw the pharynx backwards, and at the same time dilate it." One of the constituents of this pharyngeal thickening, not mentioned in the ordinary descriptions of the earthworm, is nevertheless a prominent feature, easily visible under tlie lens in the ordinary dissection, and immediately obvious, owing to its staining properties, in sections through the region where it occurs. This constituent is a cellular mass which forms soft white projecting lobules on the dorsal and lateral aspects of the pharynx; the lobules surround the muscular strands which issue from the pharynx, and in addition, the cells of the mass penetrate inwards between the interlacing muscular bundles of the thick dorsal pharyn- geal wall in the direction of the lumen of the canal. -

Oligodendrocytes in Development, Myelin Generation and Beyond
cells Review Oligodendrocytes in Development, Myelin Generation and Beyond Sarah Kuhn y, Laura Gritti y, Daniel Crooks and Yvonne Dombrowski * Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine, Queen’s University Belfast, Belfast BT9 7BL, UK; [email protected] (S.K.); [email protected] (L.G.); [email protected] (D.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +0044-28-9097-6127 These authors contributed equally. y Received: 15 October 2019; Accepted: 7 November 2019; Published: 12 November 2019 Abstract: Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS) that are generated from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC). OPC are distributed throughout the CNS and represent a pool of migratory and proliferative adult progenitor cells that can differentiate into oligodendrocytes. The central function of oligodendrocytes is to generate myelin, which is an extended membrane from the cell that wraps tightly around axons. Due to this energy consuming process and the associated high metabolic turnover oligodendrocytes are vulnerable to cytotoxic and excitotoxic factors. Oligodendrocyte pathology is therefore evident in a range of disorders including multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease. Deceased oligodendrocytes can be replenished from the adult OPC pool and lost myelin can be regenerated during remyelination, which can prevent axonal degeneration and can restore function. Cell population studies have recently identified novel immunomodulatory functions of oligodendrocytes, the implications of which, e.g., for diseases with primary oligodendrocyte pathology, are not yet clear. Here, we review the journey of oligodendrocytes from the embryonic stage to their role in homeostasis and their fate in disease. We will also discuss the most common models used to study oligodendrocytes and describe newly discovered functions of oligodendrocytes.
