2. MUSCLE Flashcards
three types of muscle
- skeletal muscle
- cardiac muscle
- smooth muscle
skeletal muscle
tubular shape
peripheric nuclei
multinuclear
voluntary, storng
can be repaired
cardiac muscle
branched
intercalated discs
involuntary, strong
heart
striated
can’t be repaired, are replaced by fibres
smooth muscle
fusiform shape
not striated
involuntary
weaker contractions
non-striated (BV and gut)
epimysium
surrounds muscle
perimysium
surrounds fascicle
endomysium
surrounds muscle cell
tendon
connects muscle to bone
help prevent injury
what do the capillaries of skeletal muscle do?
bring O2 + nutrients in
removes CO2 + waste
myotendinous junction is the interface between ____ & ______
muscle and tendon
myotendinous junction
prevents damage
transmission of contractile strength from muscle to tendon
myofibril
long series of sacromeres
thin filaments
actin filaments
thick filaments
bundles of myosin
titin
giant protein; passive elasticity of muscle
