Ch 9 Skeletal Muscle System Flashcards
Muscle tissue
Contain Actin and Myosin
Epimysium
is a layer of connective tissue covering the entire muscle bundle
Perimysium
is a layer of connective tissue covering individual muscle fascicles
Endomysium
Covers each muscle fiber
Collagen
fibers of connective tissue
Skeletal muscle cells
develop from immature myoblast
Myoribrils
Protein filaments
Actin
Thin filaments
Myosin
Thick filaments
Myoblast
Immature skeletal muscle cells
Sarcoemma
Cell membrane
Sarcoplasm
cytoplasm
Z - disc
Point where thin filaments attach to each other
M Line
The middle of a sarcomere
I band
Lighter band containing only thin filaments
H band
lighter region around M line which contains only thick filaments
A Band
dark dense contains thick and thin
Transverse ( T ) tubules
is the port of entry for Calcium in order to conduct contractions
Contractions
H band gets smaller
Z lines move closer
A band stays the same
Myofibrils of myofibers get shorter
+ positive charges
Sodium (Na+)
Potassium (K+)
- Negative charges
Chloride (Cl-)
Protiens in Cytosol
Cytosol
a liquid found inside cells that surrounds organelles
Action potential
a rapid sequence of changes in the voltage across a membrane
Depolarization
Less negative charge outside the cell, inside is positive
