Robo's programming for the study of muscle tissue will take the micro - robot on a trek into a skeletal muscle . A large syringe is used to introduce the robot via a subcutaneous injection into the deep until it comes into contact with a muscle that is surrounded by a dense layer of fibers known as the .

2

Once inside the muscle , the robot senses the appearance of a series of compartments consisting of collagen , elastic fibers , blood vessels , and , all surrounded by the . The individual compartments are referred to as . Probing deeper , there appears to be a network of connective tissue with numerous reticular fibers , the , which surrounds each muscle fiber contained within the muscle bundle .

3

Between this surrounding layer and the muscle cell membrane , , the " doctors " that function in the of damaged muscle tissue , are sparsely scattered . Robo's entrance into the muscle by way of the muscle cell membrane , called the , is facilitated by a series of openings to " pipe - like " structures that are regularly arranged and that project into the .

4

These " pipes " are the - that serve as the system between the outside of the cell and the cell interior . Just inside the membrane , the robot picks up the presence of many , a characteristic common to skeletal muscle fibers . Robo's trek from the pipe - like environment into the exposes neatly arranged threadlike structures , the , which extend from one end of the muscle cell to the other .

5

Mission Control receives information regarding the presence of smaller filaments called consisting of large molecules , some of which are arranged into thin filaments or actin , while others reveal a thicker appearance , the thick filaments or molecules . These thick and thin filaments are organized as functional units called .

6

Each functional unit extends from one to another , forming a filamentous network of disc - like protein structures for the attachment of molecules . Robo senses a banded or striated appearance due to the areas of the unit where only thin filaments exist , called the , while a greater portion of the unit consists of overlapping thick and thin filaments called the . In the center of this area , only filaments are apparent .

7

The interactions between the filaments result in the sliding of the thin filaments toward the of the unit , a process referred to as , and ultimately producing a function unique to muscle cells , the process of contraction . As Robo's trek is completed , the robot's exit plan is to re - enter the " - " within the muscle cell and leave the cell via the openings within the . After retrieving Robo , Mission Control returns the robot to the control center for reprogramming for the next task .
