Ch 10 Muscular Tissue Flashcards
What is the function of the muscular system?
- Produce movement
- Stabilize Body Positions
- Heat Production
- Moves substances through the body
Why type of muscle is voluntary and striated
Skeletal Muscle
what type of muscle is inovluntary and nonstriated
Smooth muscle
what type of muscle is involuntary and striated
Cardiac Muscle
what are the 4 special properties of the muscular tissue
- Electrical Excitability
- Contractility
- Extensibility
- Elasticity
This location of the muscle tissue is the outer layer and encircles the enitre muscle
Epimysium
This muscle tissue surrounds groups of 10 to 100 muscle fibers and creates muscle facicles
Perimysium
This muscle tissue seperates each individual muscle fiber inside the fascicles
Endomysium
This muscle tissue holds muscles with similar functions together
Fascia
This muscle tissue helps attach muscles to bones and attaches to the periosteum
Tendon
What is the plasma membrane of the muscle fibers called
Sarcolemma
This muscle fiber component tunnels leading into the muscle fiber from sarcoplasm
T Tubules
This muscle fiber component is the cytoplasm of muscle fiber
Sarcoplasm
This muscle fiber component is the contractile unit of skeletal muscle
Myofibrils
This muscle fiber component is a fluid filled sac that surrounds myofibrils and contains Calcium
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
This muscle fiber component contains small protein structures inside myofibrils, ex. Actin, Myosin
Filaments
This muscle fiber component is a functional unit of skeletal muscles
Sarcomere
This component of the sarcomere seperates the sarcomeres
Z Disc
This component of the sarcomere is a thick filament completely and some of the thin filaments
A Band
This component of the sarcomere is a thin filament only
