Fine Art Print : Skeletal muscle fibre
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Skeletal muscle fibre
Skeletal muscle fibre. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of skeletal muscle fibre. This type of muscle is striated. Muscle cells contain cylindrical organelles in the form of bundles of filaments (orange, myofibrils). Each filament can be thick (made up of myosin) or thin (made up of actin). In the case of skeletal (and cardiac) muscle, the filaments have a specific length, less than the length of the muscle cell. They are organised into repeating subunits (sarcomeres) along the length of the muscle cell. The resulting myofibrils run parallel to each other, causing the cell to appear striped (striated). The muscle is surrounded by connective tissue (loose strands)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a skeletal muscle fibre, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the fascinating structure and composition of this type of muscle, which is known for its striated appearance. The muscle cells in the photo contain cylindrical organelles called myofibrils, represented by bundles of filaments in vibrant orange. These filaments can be thick or thin, composed respectively of myosin and actin proteins. Interestingly, these filaments have a specific length that is shorter than the overall length of the muscle cell. To create an organized pattern along the length of the muscle cell, these filaments are arranged into repeating subunits called sarcomeres. As a result, parallel myofibrils run alongside each other within the cell, giving it its characteristic striped or striated appearance. Surrounding this remarkable muscular structure is connective tissue depicted as loose strands in orange. This connective tissue provides support and protection to ensure proper functioning of the skeletal muscles. This stunning SEM image not only highlights the biological complexity but also serves as a testament to our ever-advancing understanding of anatomy and physiology. It offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at nature's design while gaining insight into how our bodies work on a microscopic level.
