Ch 10 Flashcards
Whole skeletal muscle
Epimysium
Surrounds a fasicle
Perimysium
Surrounds individual muscle fibers within muscle fasicle
Endomysium
Less movable bone
Origin
Where bone moves
Insertion
Make up individual muscle cells
Myofibrils
Each myofibril is organized into repeated segments
Basic unit of contraction
Sarcomere
Outer boundaries
Attached to each & extend toward sarcomere are actin
Z line
Make up sarcomere
Actin and myosin
Overlapping actin and myosin
Darker portions of striations
A band
Only thin actin
Lighter region of striations
I band
Only myosin thick, expands from M line
H line
Crosses middle of H zone attachment point for myosin
M line
Smooth ER of muscle cells
Surround each myofibrils
Tubules of SR
End portion of SR
Stores Ca
Terminal cisterns
