58
Q

What are arteries?

A

thick vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood

59
Q

What are veins?

A

return vessels

60
Q

What are capillaries?

A

thin-walled vessels

61
Q

What is systemic circulation?

A

moves oxygenated blood to body and returns venous (deoxygenated) blood to heart

62
Q

What is pulmonary circulation?

A

veins carry oxygenated blood

63
Q

What is fasciculi?

A

bundles of muscle fibers

64
Q

What are myofibrils?

A

long, thin, cylindrical rods

a site of force production within muscle fibers

65
Q

What are myofilaments?

A

protein filaments of the myofibril

66
Q

What is a sarcomere?

A

Smallest functional contractile unit

67
Q

What are the steps for muscle contraction?

A

1) Signal from nerve
2) Action potential spreads along sarcolemma and t tubules into the interior of fiber
3) Calcium release from terminal cisternae
4) Calcium binds the protein Troponin C, a change in protein complex
5) Cessation of signal Ca++ release ceases
6) Ca++ pumped into sarcoplasmic reticulum and muscle relaxes.
