Muscles of the shoulder region
Muscles of the shoulder region

... The extreme mobility of the shoulder joint may result in kinking of the axillary artery and a temporary occlusion of its lumen. To compensate for this, an important arterial anastomosis exists between the branches of the subclavian artery and the axillary artery, thus ensuring that an adequate blood ...

Myocyte



A myocyte (also known as a muscle cell) is the type of cell found in muscle tissue. Myocytes are long, tubular cells that develop from myoblasts to form muscles in a process known as myogenesis. There are various specialized forms of myocytes: cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells, with various properties. The striated cells of cardiac and skeletal muscles are referred to as muscle fibers. Cardiomyocytes are the muscle fibres that form the chambers of the heart, and have a single central nucleus. Skeletal muscle fibers help support and move the body and tend to have peripheral nuclei. Smooth muscle cells control involuntary movements such as the peristalsis contractions in the stomach.
