Muscle anatomy
Muscle anatomy. Cutaway artwork showing the anatomy and internal structure of a muscle, from the macroscopic (left) to the microscopic (right) level. At upper left, a muscle is shown with nerves (blue). The cutaway section shows the muscle consisting of muscle bundles (fascicles). Each fascicle consists of muscle fibres (the third stage shown here, also with nerves, blue). The fibres consist of myofibrils, shown here with green and yellow sheaths, the cell membrane or sarcolemma. The smallest element are the myofilaments (right) consisting of the proteins actin (blue) and myosin (red)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate and complex anatomy of a muscle. The artwork provides a cutaway view, revealing the internal structure of the muscle at both macroscopic and microscopic levels. On the left side of the image, we see a muscle with its accompanying nerves depicted in blue. Moving towards the center, a section has been cut away to expose the muscle bundles or fascicles that make up this muscular organ. Each fascicle is composed of individual muscle fibers, which are shown in their third stage here. These fibers also contain nerves represented by blue lines. Zooming in further on these fibers, we encounter myofibrils enveloped by green and yellow sheaths known as sarcolemma – essentially cell membranes specific to muscles. Finally, on the right side of this print lies an even more magnified view showcasing myofilaments made up of actin (blue) and myosin (red) proteins. This detailed illustration offers an expanded view into our body's remarkable musculature system while highlighting key components such as nerves, filaments, bundles, proteins, and membranes. It serves as a valuable resource for those studying biology or anyone fascinated by human anatomy.
