How muscle tissue orginated?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Muscles are the part of skeletal system in animals and humans. Muscle tissue is made up of Myocytes or myoepithelial cells. Myocytes are elastic in nature which tend the muscle to contract and relax according to body movements.

Step 2

Muscle tissues are derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells in a process known as myogenesis. There are three types of muscle, skeletal or striated, cardiac, and smooth. All muscles are derived from paraxial mesoderm. The paraxial mesoderm is divided along the embryo's length into somites, corresponding to the segmentation of the body. Each somite has 3 divisions, sclerotome (vertebrae), dermatome (skin), and myotome (muscle). The myotome is divided into two sections, the epimere and hypomere, which form epaxial and hypaxial muscles, respectively. The only epaxial muscles in humans are the erector spinae and small intervertebral muscles, and are innervated by the dorsal rami of the spinal nerves. All other muscles, including those of the limbs are hypaxial, and inervated by the ventral rami of the spinal nerves.
