| Name: | skeletal muscle |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | |
| Definition: | Muscle, composed of long cylindrical, multinucleated cells that attaches to the skeleton via tendons. |
| Ontology: | Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0005277] |
| Name: | actin filament |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | microfilament |
| Definition: | A filamentous structure formed of a two-stranded helical polymer of the protein actin and associated proteins. Actin filaments are a major component of the contractile apparatus of skeletal muscle and the microfilaments of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. The filaments, comprising polymerized globular actin molecules, appear as flexible structures with a diameter of 5-9 nm. They are organized into a variety of linear bundles, two-dimensional networks, and three dimensional gels. In the cytoskeleton they are most highly concentrated in the cortex of the cell just beneath the plasma membrane. |
