1. Marked with transverse strise. 



2. Under control of wiU. 



3. Attached to bones. 



4. Composed of bundles of fibres. 



5. Fibres are multinuclear elon- 



gated cells. 



6. Connective tissue framework. 



7. Outer sheath of connective 



tissue — Epimysium. 



8. Well supplied with f Sensory. 



nerves. I Motor. 



9. Majority of nerves connect 



with central nervous sys- 

 f Brain. 

 I Spinal cord. 

 Well supplied \vith blood- 

 vessels and lymphatics. 

 Contracts quickly, relaxes 

 promptly. 



1. Not marked with transverse 



striae. 



2. Not under control of will. 



3. Found in walls of blood- 



vessels and viscera. 



4. Composed of bundles of fibre- 



cells. 



5. Fibre-cells contain just one 



nucleus. 



6. Connective tissue framework. 



7. Outer sheath of connective 



tissue — Epimysium. 



8. Well supphcd with i Sensory. 



nerves. I Motor. 



9. Majority of nerves connect 



with sympathetic nervous 

 system. 



10. Well supplied with blood- 



vessels and lymphatics. 



11. Contracts slowly and continu- 



ously for long periods of time. 



12. Possesses inherent power of 



automatic contraction.
