Satellite Cell

Adult stem cells located between the basal lamina and sarcolemma of muscle fibers, crucial for muscle growth, repair, and regeneration.

Key Functions:

• Acts as quiescent stem cells in adult muscle.
• Activates and proliferates in response to muscle injury.
• Differentiates into new muscle fibers for repair and growth.
• Essential for muscle regeneration.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Skeletal Muscle Fiber (associated with)
• Stem Cell (type of)
• Muscle (repair and regeneration)
• Musculoskeletal System (supports muscle health)
