ATI Science- Muscle/Skeletal System Flashcards
Type of muscle tissue arranged disorderly as it is not striated
smooth muscle
3 types of muscle tissue
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Properties of muscle tissue
excitability, contraction; elongate
property of an electric gradient which can reverse when stimulated
excitability
property where muscle tissue has the ability to shorten
contraction
property where muscle tissue has the ability to relax
elongate
VOLUNTARY, striated muscle that work in pairs to move various parts of the skeleton
skeletal muscle
INVOLUNTARY, non striated muscle that is found in walls of internal organs like stomach/blood vessles
smooth muscle
INVOLUNTARY, striated muscle found only in the heart
cardiac muscle
Skeletal muscles consist of muscle fibers. Each fiber contains a bundle of _______ composed of contractile units called _______
myofibrils; sacromeres
Myofibrils contain two protein ________ ; one is ______ other is ______
myafilament; thick; thin
thick filament composed of protein
myosin
thin filament composed of protein
actin
Striations in muscle caused by____
overlapping of thick and thin filament s
How does sarcomere shorten? (skeletal muscle attraction)
When actin (thin) slides over mysoin (thick)
