  • Fast muscle fibres in zebrafish myotomes
  • Muscle biopsy showing ringed fibres - HP
  • Neuromuscular junctions in fast-twitch muscle fibres
  • Fast and slow muscle fibres in zebrafish myotomes
  • The heart and its muscle fibres. Engraving, 1686.
  • The heart and its muscle fibres, after Senac. Engraving by Benard, late 18th century.
  • Neuromuscular junction showing the association of the nerves and the muscle fibres. This image is taken from a Drosophila larva and shows the neuromuscular junctions stained with green fluorescence protein (GFP) in association with the muscle fibres in red. The muscle is stained with an antibody which provides the red colour and also shows the striated pattern of the contractile filaments (sarcomers) of the muscle.
  • Muscle fibre
  • Muscle biopsy showing individual fibre- TS
  • Engraving of heart muscle fibre, from Leeuwenhoek, Arcana...1722
  • The muscles of the arm and palm of the hand and geometrical diagrams of the tendons and fibres of different muscles. Engraving after G. de Lairesse, 1739.
  • Observations on the muscles, and particularly on the effects of their oblique fibres: with an appendix, in which the pretension of Dr. Gilbert Blane, that he first demonstrated the same effect to be produced by oblique muscles as by straight ones, with a less proportional decurtation of fibres, is proved to be unfounded ... / [Alexander Monro].

  • Neuromuscular junction from a Drosophila larva showing a nerve synapse atttached to a muscle fibre. The transmission of signals in shown via synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitter substance (shown in red). These vesicles are in close accosiation with the microtubule-based synaptic core cytoskeleton o the nerve, which is shown in green.
