Ch. 10 Muscle Tissue Flashcards
Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle
Largest to smallest component
Muscle
Fascicle
Muscle fiber
Myofibrils
3 connective tissue layers:
an outer epimysium (wraps a whole muscle):
a middle perimysium (wraps fascicle):
an inner endomysium (wraps an individual fiber):
1/3 connective tissue layers:
outer epimysium wraps around what
an outer epimysium (wraps a whole muscle):
a middle perimysium wraps around what
wraps fascicle
an inner endomysium wraps around what?
muscle fiber
Attachments of muscle to bone
What are cordlike structure of dense regular connective tissue
Tendons
thin, flattened sheet of dense irregular tissue
Aponeurosis
Parts of a muscle cell:
Bundle of Myofilaments
Myofibirils
Parts of a Myofibiril:
Thick filaments
Myosin
Parts of a Myofibiril:
Myosin Filaments are Thin or Thick?
Thick
Parts of a Myofibiril:
Thin Filaments
Actin
Parts of a Myofibiril:
Is Actin Thin or Thick?
Thin
2 Regulatory Proteins of Thin Filament
Tropomyosin
Troponin
internal membrane complex similar to smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
blind sacs of sarcoplasmic reticulum
Terminal Cisternae
What serves as reservoirs for calcium ions (Ca2+)
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Myofilaments are arranged in repeating, functional units called
Sarcomeres
Part of Sacromere:
What are at the ends of Sacromeres
Z Discs
Part of Sacromere:
What do Z Discs do
(At the end of Sacromeres)
(anchors the thin filaments)
Part of Sacromere:
Light-appearing regions that contain only thin filaments
I-bands
(remember L I G H T band)
Part of Sacromere:
Dark-appearing region that contains thick filaments & overlapping thin filaments
A-band (remember D A R K band)
Part of Sacromere:
central portion of A band (only thick filaments)
H zone
Part of Sacromere:
middle of H zone
M line (mid line)
attachment site for thick filaments
Part of Sacromere:
attachment site for thick filaments
M line
Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle
allows storage of oxygen used for aerobic ATP production
Myoglobin
motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates and controls.
Motor unit
