Anatomy Flashcards
Fascicle:
BUNDLE OF MUSCLE FIBERS
Muscle fiber:
SKELETAL MUSCLE CELL
Myofibril:
BUNDLES OF MYOFILAMENTS THAT IS ENCLOSED IN SR
Myofilaments:
PROTEIN FILAMENT THAT MAKES UP MYOFIBRILS IN CARDIAC AND SKELETAL MUSCLE
Myosin:
EARBUD-LIKE STRUCTURE; HEAD HAS ATP AND ACTIN BINDING SITES; PROTEIN MOLECULE
Actin:
CONTRACTILE PROTEIN MAKING THE MAJOR PART OF THIN FILAMENTS IN A SARCOMERE
What are the two types of myofilaments? What do they have?
Thick and thin. Thick: myosin. Thin: actin, myosin binding site, tropomyosin, and troponin
Sarcoplasm:
CYTOPLASM OF A SKELETAL MUSCLE
Sarcolemma:
PLASMA MEMBRANE FOR MUSCLE
What is stored in the SR?
MYOFIBRILS
T-Tubule:
TRANSVERSE TUBULES
Sarcomere:
FUNCTIONAL UNIT OF A SKELETAL MUSCLE
H-zone:
THICK FILAMENTS ONLY; MOST CENTRAL PORTION OF A BAND IN A RESTING SARCOMERE
Z-disc:
MARKS THE END OF SARCOMERES; PERPENDICULAR TO MYOFILAMENTS; ANCHOR THIN FILAMENTS TO ACTIN
