Summary Introduction

To determine:

How are connective tissues associated with skeletal muscles?

Introduction:

Connective tissue is a type of animal tissue that helps in supporting, connecting and surrounding organs and other body parts. It consists mainly of collagen, elastic fibers, fatty tissues and bone or cartilage. It provides structural support to the tissues and organs of the body. These cells are derived from mesenchymal cells.

Skeletal muscles are also known as striated muscle tissues. They are voluntary muscles, so they move as per a person’s choice. They are under control of the somatic nervous system. These muscles are attached with bones by collagen fibers and tendons.

Explanation of Solution

Connective tissue is a type of tissue that provides the structural support to other tissues and organs of the body. Skeletal muscle is a voluntary muscle and it is in control of the somatic nervous system. It is made up of numerous muscles arranged in three layers of connective surrounding muscle fibers.

Skeletal muscles bind with connective tissues so that they can communicate with nerve cells and blood vessels. Connective tissue provides structure and strength to muscles. They are also known as striated muscle tissue. They are voluntary muscles controlled by the somatic nervous system; hence, move as per a person’s choice. These muscles are attached with bones by collagen fibers and tendons.

Conclusion

Skeletal muscle is made up of numerous muscles known as muscle fibers. Muscle fiber is formed with three layers of connective tissue. Connective tissue provides strength and structure to muscles.

Part A: The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the temperature of the solution. How is the oxygen production in 30 seconds related to the rate of the reaction? At what temperature is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why might the enzyme activity decrease at very high temperatures? Why might a high fever be dangerous to humans? What is the optimal temperature for enzymes in the human body? Part B: The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the pH of the solution. At what pH is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain.
