Ch 10 Flashcards
Three types of muscle tissue
Skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Three types of muscle tissue
Skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Purpose of skeletal muscle
Converting the chemical energy in ATP into mechanical energy of motion
What does Myo mean
Muscle
What are sphincters
Control the opening pathways
Glycemic control
Muscles absorb and store glucose which helps regulate blood sugar within a normal range
Striations
Lots of small stripes. Results from the arrangement of internal contractile proteins
Can muscle cells divide?
No, too many nucleus’s
Sarcolemma
Plasma membrane
Projections around sarcolemma
Transverse(T) tubules. Allows for an action potential
Myofibrils
Bundles of myofilaments. Pencils w a rubber band around it. Within the sarcoplasm
What things are inside the sarcoplasm
Myofibrils, glycogen, myoglobin(store protein in muscle for oxygen)
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Verizion of smooth ER. Stores calcium. Calcium is released when there is an action potential. Takes it up once we’ve done contracting our muscles
What are terminal cisternae
Dilated end sacs of the SR
Myosin
Thick filaments of myofilaments.
