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.

Expert Solution & Answer

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.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
