Abstract:An investigation of developing skeletal muscle necessitatesthe study of three categories; the derivation of muscle cellsor fibers, myofilament synthesis and interactions, assemblyof myofilaments into functional sarcomeres of striated myofibrils.With few exceptions, skeletal muscle cells are of mesodermalorigin, and consist of rounded mononucleated cells which elongateand fuse with one another to become myotubes. Within the sarcoplasm,myofibrillar proteins are synthesized and grouped into interactingthick and thin filaments. Crude, non-striated myofibrils resultfrom linear arrangements of thick and thin filaments which arehorizontally aligned by the invaginating sarcotubular system.After Z-lines form, providing attachment sites for thin filaments,a typical banding pattern follows. The newly formed Z-linespull apart, followed by the attached thin filaments, and repeating"relaxed" sarcomeres are the resulting striated myofibrillarpattern.
