Chapter 1 Flashcards
Bone periosteum
A specialized connective tissue covering all bones
Epimysium
Continuous tendon at the end of muscles
Proximal
Closer to the trunk
Distal
Away from
The trunk
Sacroplasm-
cytoplasm
Of the muscle fiber
A band
Myosin filaments
I band
Adjacent sacromeres that only contain actin
Sliding filament theory of muscular contraction
Actin filaments at each end of sacromere slide inward on myosin filaments pulling the Z-lines toward the center of the sacromere and thus shortening the muscle fiber
Acetylcholine
Neurotransmitter, diffuses across neuromuscular junction, causing, excitation of the sacrolema
Type 1
Slow twitch
Type 2a
Greater capacity for aerobic metabolism
Type 2x
Extremely anaerobic
Golgi tendons
Proprioceptors located in tendons
Sarcoenia
Reduced size and strength
The heart
Atrium and ventricle
