BIO 312 Lab Exam #4 Flashcards
Is skeletal muscle voluntary?
Yes
Skeletal muscle location
Everywhere
Is skeletal muscle striated
Yes
Skeletal muscle structure
Endomysium: thin layer of connective tissue surrounding each individual muscle fiber
Fascicles: muscle cell bundles consisting of muscle fibers gathered side by side
Perimysium: collagenous sheath surrounding each fascicle
Epimysium: fascicles are bound together by an even coarser coat of denser fibrous connective tissue which surrounds the entire muscle
Contains multiple nuclei
Cardiac muscle location
ONLY in the heart
Is cardiac muscle voluntary?
Nooooooooo
Is cardiac muscle striated?
Yessss
Other facts about cardiac muscle
There are intercalated discs that look like dark stripes across the nucleus
Location of smooth muscle
Lining of digestive tract
Is smooth muscle voluntary?
Noooooo
Is smooth muscle striated?
Noooo
Belly
Central fleshy portion of a muscle
Action
Type of movement produced by a muscle’s contraction (flexion/extension, etc…)
Origin
Stable, non moving end of the muscle (usually proximal end in limb muscles or when it has multiple origins they are called Heads)
Insertion
Moving end of musscle
Tendon
Narrow band or cord of dense connective tissue joining muscle to bone or other connective tissue
Aponeurosis
Broad, thin sheet of connective tissue joining muscle to bone or other connective tissue
Retinaculum
A ligamentous band which stabilizes the tendons of the extremities
Agonist
Muscle directly responsible for a given movement
Antagonist
Produces the opposite action of an agonist
Fixator
Contracts to prevent movement of a joint to stabilize origin of an agonist
