1000ft view muscles Flashcards
what percentage of body weight does muscle make up
40%
what percentage of muscle is water
75%
what percentage of muscle is protein
20%
what is the fascia
connective tissue that encases the muscles individually - helps prevent excessive straining or sudden changes in the speed/position
what layer is the perimysium
subdivied into muscle further into fascicles
what layer is the epimysium
the outer most layer
what is the muscle belly separated into
fascilcles
what surrounds the fascicles
perimysium
what is the fascicle made up of
muscle fibers
what are fibers made of
myofibrils
what are myofibrils composed of
thick and thin filaments
what does the perimysium cover
fascicles
what do muscle fibers make up
the fascicle
what do myofibrils make
muscle fibers
what do thick and thin filaments make up
myofibrils
what does a singular muscle cell contain
multiple myofibrils which are the contracture unit
what is the contractile unit of the muscle
multiple myofibrils
what surrounds the muscle fiber
sarcolema
what allows for propagation of electrical stimulation through muscles
the sarcolema
what does the sarcolema surround
muscle fiber
what does the sarcolemma allow for
propagation of electrical stimulation through muscles
what type of electrical stimulation do muscles have
rapid, simultaneous contraction
what are the different types of muscle fibers
fast-twitch fibers (white) and slow-twitch fibers (red)
what are fast-twitch fibers
(white)
have large, fast conducting, nerve innervating them
Type 2 fibers and may utilize anaerobic metabolism briefly
what are type 1 fibers
slow switch fibers (RED)
slower but will continue to contract for longer period of time - aerobic metabolism
what does the sarcolemma assist with other than electrical conduction
nutritional transport, protein synthesis
Na+/K+ pumps
what do T-tubules do
allow for simultaneous spread of electrical stimulation
what type of muscles are T-tubules found in
in cardiac and skeletal muscles
where do mitochondria lay
within the sarcoplasm and form ATP
where are the mitochondria most numerous
the cardiac muscles - as they need more ATP
what does the sarcoplasmic reticulum help with
calcium transportation
how is calcium transported
via sarcoplasmic reticulum
what electrolyte is required for contraction of the sarcomere
calcium
