Uberon definition : Muscle tissue that consists primarily of skeletal muscle fibers.;
Uberon related term : somatic muscle; skeletal muscle system;
Uberon broad term : skeletal muscle;
Uberon Homology note : This result implies the following views in terms of evolutionary differentiation:
(1) Arthropod striated muscle and vertebrate skeletal and cardiac muscles share a
common ancestor. In other words, they did not evolve independently (...) (5) The divergence
of vertebrate skeletal and cardiac muscles/vertebrate smooth muscle and nonmuscle
is at least before that of vertebrates/arthropods. In other words, emergence of skeletal
and cardiac musle type tissues preceded the vertebrate/arthropod divergence (ca. 700
MYA).[well established][VHOG];
