ch. 9 Flashcards
four special characteristics of muscles
excitability
contractility
extensibility
elasticity
function of muscle tissue
move, position/posture, support, control, heat generation
muscle tissue types
skeletal
cardiac
smooth
skeletal muscle is found
attached to skeleton help us move
skeletal muscle is like
long muscle fibers
muscle fibers are long
multinucleated cells, striated
skeletal muscle is v/i
voluntary control
cardiac muscle is located
heart
cardiac muscle is
can have multi nuclei but usually only one
cardiac muscle fibers are connected together with
intercalated discs
intercalated discs are
gap junctions and desosomes
cardiac muscle straited?
appear that way
desosomes allow
cytoskeletal structures inside the cell
cardiac muscle v/i
involuntary
smooth muscle nuclei is
uninucleate
striations of smooth muscle?
none
where is smooth muscle found
walls of hollow organs
smooth muscle i/v
I
skeletal needs 2 places to attach aka
origin or insertion
