anat muscle Flashcards
muscle organ has
nerve
blood vessels
CT
each: one nerve
artery
1
muscle functions
production of movement
maintain posture
thermogenesis: generation of heat
stabilization: keep tendon taut
characteristics of muscle
excitability: ability to get/respond to stimulus
contractility: shorten when stimulated
extensibility: ability to be stretch
elasticity: ability to resume original length after stretch
direct muscle attachment
epimysium and periosteum fused together
indirect muscle attachment
CT extends and form tendon/aponeurosis that attaches to periosteum
skeletal muscle
30cm
sarcoplasmic reticulum
calcium storage, surrounds myofibirls
tropomyosin
covers myosin binding site
t-tubules
around A-I junction. hold otgether by terminal cisterna. forms triad
muscle contraction
thin slide over thick, pulls z disc close together, A band never changes
sliding filament
excitation
excitation-contraction coupling
contraction
relaxation
leakage channel protein
open all the time
voltage gated
needs electrical impulse to open
ligand gated
needes a molecule to activate
muscle contraction 1
voltage gated open and Ca goes into axon couses exocytosis of neurotransmitter that attaches to receptors (ligand gated) Na goes into muscle=electrical impulse
