Describe the structure (gross and histological) and function of the three types of muscle tissue. Identify structural similarities between skeletal muscle and nervous tissue, focusing on prominent, specialized subcellular structures and organization of fibers. What parts of the nervous system control each muscle type? Think about lobes, nuclei, ganglia, tracts, etc. Predict how each of the three muscle types may be affected when a patient suffers from a stroke.
name the four connective tissue structures associated with skeletal muscle, and describe what each surrounds
