Myogenesis is the development of muscle tissue. In the first weeks of development, embryos give rise to two types of tissue - muscle and nervous. The development and growth of muscle tissue is the basis of human muscle physiology. Muscle tissues are divided into striated and smooth.
In human histology, muscle tissue is divided into three main groups: skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle. By origin, these muscle tissues belong to special formations of the human body - embryonic axial structures - mesodermal mesomesenchyme and mainchyme, respectively. Skeletal muscles, unlike smooth and cardiac muscles, are found only outside the body, so the name “skeletal” refers to the most common muscle tissue, despite the fact that the motor functions of skeletal muscles are also performed by smooth and cardiac muscles. The muscle consists of muscle fibers, connective tissue layers, blood and lymphatic vessels, and nerves. The main component of muscle tissue is muscle fiber.
