3 Muscular - Sheet1 Flashcards
Function of muscular system
Production of movement, maintaining posture, stabilization of joints, heat generation
type of muscle
skeletal, smooth, cardiac
skeletal
Voluntary movement, connected to bone, multinucleated
Smooth
no striation, involuntary movement, found in stomach-intestine-bladder-respiratory passage. movement is slow and sustained.
Cardiac
Found only in heart, striated, involuntary movement, contain intercaleted discs
Intercalated discs (cardiac)
Proteins that connect two muscle cells together, provide strength for repetitive motion
Skeletal (microscopic)
striation: light/dark pattern. structures present inside the muscle cells known as srcomere
Sarcomere
thick filament (myosin) thin filament (actin)
skeletal (activity)
contraction requires nerve impulse
neuromuscular junction
axon terminal connected to sarcolemma of muscle
nerve impulse (skeletal muscle contraction)
Neuromuscular junction-release of neurotransmitter Ach- Na+/K+ channels open-opening of calcium channels-lead to muscle contraction
all or none law
one muscle cell is fully contracted when stimulated
aerobic respiration
presence of oxygen-lots of ATP
anaerobic respiration
absense of oxygen-limited ATP-lactic acid
aerobic endurance
exercise: jogging, biking, etc..
