how much muscle constitutes your body weight
half
types of muscle
skeletal, cardiacs, smooth
muscle purpose
converting chemical energy in atp into mechanical energy of motion
myology
study of muscular system
muscle funcitons
movement, stability, control of openings and passageways, heat production, glycemic control
muscle role in body movement
breathing, circulation, digestion
muscle role in stability
maintains posture by preventing unwanted movement
stabilize joints
control of opening and pathways
sphincter in esophagus to yeaaa
heat production by muscles make up- of our body heat
85%
glycemic control
absorb and store glucose which helps regulate blood sugar concentration withing normal range
skeletal muscle
voluntary striated muscle usaly attached to bones
striation
alternating light and dark transverse bands
a result of internal conrtactile proteins
myofiber/ muscle cell
muscle fiber
can be 30 cm
can never divide (bc multinucelated)
endomysium
between rows of muscle fibers
sarcolemma
plasma membrane of muscle
transverse tubules
extension of the sarcolemma into cell, inbetween the shit like fibers
sarcoplasm (basically cytoplasm) is made of
myofibrils
glycogen
myoglobin
myofibrils
bundles of myofilaments (these contract)
