Skeletal Muscle (Transverse & Longitudinal Section)
Homo sapiens
A histological preparation showing skeletal muscle in both transverse section (T.S.) and longitudinal section (L.S.). The top section demonstrates cross-sectioned muscle fascicles wrapped in perimysium with individual polygonal muscle fibers bounded by endomysium. The lower section illustrates elongated parallel muscle fibers featuring peripheral multi-nucleation and characteristic cross-striations of myofibrils.
