bundles

Muscle

...scle cells are bound together by perimysium into bundles called fascicules ; the bundles are then grouped together to form muscle, which is lined by epimysium . Muscle spindles are distr...

Actin

Eukaryote

... organells. Eukaryotic DNA is divided into several bundles called chromosomes , which are separated by a microtubular spindle during nuclear division. In addition to asexual cell division, most eukaryotes have some process of sexual reproduction via cell fusion, which is not found among prokaryotes. ...

Cartilage

... similar to hyaline cartilage but contains elastic bundles ( elastin ) scattered throughout the matrix. This provides a tissue which is stiff yet elastic. Fibrocartilage Fibrocartilage (also called white cartilage) is a specialised type of cartilage found in areas requiring tough support or great tensile...

Brain

...s tissue its white color. White matter is found in bundles of fibers known as tracts which connect the different parts of the brain. In modern species most closely related to the first vertebrates, brains are covered with three layers of gray matter, along with gray deep brain nucleus, supported and intercon...

Axon

...transmission lines of the nervous system , and as bundles they help make up nerves . Individual axons are microscopic in diameter--typically about one micrometre across-- but may extend to macroscopic lengths. The longest axons in the human body, for example, are those of the sciatic nerve , which run f...
