  • Although smooth muscle contraction relies on the presence of Ca ++ ions, smooth muscle fibers have a much smaller diameter than skeletal muscle cells. (openstax.org)
  • However, smooth muscle fibers are much smaller in all dimensions than skeletal muscle cells. (pressbooks.pub)
  • In the resected muscle and in the passively stretched antagonist muscle, there was a dramatic increase in the number of myofibers positive for neonatal MyHC and in the number of BrdU- and MyoD-positive satellite cells. (arvojournals.org)
  • Another stimulus that activates satellite cells is stretching of the muscle. (arvojournals.org)
  • 7 8 9 In fact, passive stretching alone can activate limb muscle satellite cells. (arvojournals.org)
  • 10 Even more compelling is a recent study that subjected individual quiescent satellite cells isolated from adult limb muscle to stretching in vitro, and showed that direct stretching of the satellite cells themselves results in activation and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation.
