11 Muscles (Lecture) Flashcards
Stiated and voluntary
Skeletal muscle
3 types of muscle
Skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Stiated and involuntary
Cardiac muscle
Unstriated and involuntary
Smooth muscle
Functions of skeletal muscle
Balance Reflex Sphincters Protects organs Generates heat
Superficial facia
Adipose tissue
Deep facia
Thin layer of connective tissue
Epimysium
Connective tissue that wraps around named muscles
Perimysium
Surrounds a muscle facilcle
Endomysium
Look up in lab manuel Wraps around each muscle fiber
Muscle segment
A named muscle
Fascicle
Holds a group of muscle cells
Muscle fiber
Another term for muscle cell
Origin
Point where a muscle attached stays stationary durning muscle contraction
Insertion
End of the muscle that moves
Agonist
Biceps
Antagonist
Opposes agonist Triceps
Synergistic muscles
Antagonist muscles that control fine movements
Sarcolemma
Muscle cell membrane. Can carry electrical signal spreads in waves Yellow stuff on model
Sarcoplasam
Fluid inside a muscle cell
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Tends to store a large amount of calcium
The triad structure on a sarcomere is made of ? Parts and what are they?
T-tubules= 1 connects to little pores on the sarcolemma Cisterns= 2 runs between lateral sacs connects to sarcoplasmic reticulum
Myofibril
They are organelles Bundles of protein filaments
Myofillaments are ? What are the 2 types?
Proteins fibers Actin and myosin
Myosin
Thick and dark filament has spurs. Myosin heads (spurs) at the end of each filament engage with actin during a muscle contraction. Myosin stays stationary during contraction.
Actin
Light thin filaments Active sites where myosin heads attach Actin slides during muscle contraction
Sarcomere
Is the functional unit of a contraction. Extends from Z line to Z line
I band
Actin only z line is the middle
A band
Dark band actin and myosin overlap
