201-250 Flashcards
- In smooth muscle calcium released by the smooth ER initiates contraction by binding to what protein://
calmodulin
- Which feature typifies T-tubules://
T-tubules permit rapid transmission of the action potential into the cell, and also play an important role in regulating cellular calcium concentration.T-tubules allow heart muscle cells to contract more forcefully by synchronising calcium release throughout the cell.
- Which characteristic is unique to smooth muscle://
- In one type of muscle, numerous gap junctions, desmosomes, and adherens junctions are specifically localized in which structures://
intercalaated discs
- What is the connective tissue covering of a muscle fascicle://
perimysium
- What is actin://
cellular protein found especially in microfilaments, participates in many important cellular processes, including muscle contraction, cell motility, cell division and cytokinesis, vesicle and organelle movement, cell signaling, and the establishment and maintenance of cell junctions and cell shape.
- What is the cytoplasm of a muscle cell://
Sarcoplasm
- What region is made of thin filaments:
I band
- What is the plasma membrane of a muscle cell called://
sarcolemma
- What is the covering of an individual muscle fiber://
endomysium
- When using a compound microscope, objective lenses can be found to have a magnification of all of the following, EXCEPT://
- What is “compound microscope”://
contains two types of lenses that function to magnify an object
- On a microscope, what structure connects the eyepiece to the objective lens://
nosepiece
- What is the role of the condenser lens://
focus the light onto the specimen
- Which type of microscope has only one lens://
simple microscope
- Which of the following is NOT a membranous organelle://
