Ch 11 test Flashcards
muscle fatigue
- depletion of metabolic reserves w/n muscles fibers 2. damage to the sarcolemma and sarcoplastic reticulum 3. decline in pH w/n muscle fibers and muscle as a whole 4, muscle exhaustion and pain
fast fibers
contract quickly, w large diameter, glycogen reserves, few mitochondria, strong contractions, fatigue quickly-anaerobic, white, no myoglobin
slow fibers
red, contain myoglobin, aerobic, small diameter, fatigue slow
intermediate fibers
pink, contain some myoglobin, anaerobic and aerobic
cardiac muscle structure
small, 1 nucleus, T-tubles are short and wide w no triads, sarcoplasmic reticulum w no terminal cisternae, dependant on aerobic metabolism, intercalated disc (conduct action potentials)
functional characteristics of cardiac muscle
automaticity, responds to nervous sys, contractions last longer than skeletal, no wave summation
smooth muscle location
forms around other tissues, regulates blood pressure and airflow
smooth muscle structural characteristics
long and slender, spindle shape, one nucleus, nonstriated, thick filaments are scattered throughout cell, thin filaments attached to dense bodies throughout cell, cells are bound together w each other, no tendons or aponeuroses
parallel fibers
fibers parallel to long axis of muscle, biceps brachii
convergent
broad area converges on attachment site (tendon, aponeurosis, or raphe) pectoralis
unipennate
fibers on one side of tendon, extensor digitorum
bipennate
fibers on both sides of tendon, rectus femoris
multipennate
tendon branches w muscle, deltoid
circular
sphincters, orbicularis oris
lever
bone-rigid, moving structure
