Chapter 10 Flashcards
3 types of Muscles
- Skeletal - allows movement
- Cardiac - contracts heart
- Smooth - covers organs and passageways
Skeletal muscle functions
- produces movement of skeleton as muscles pull tendons
- maintains posture
- support soft tissue
- maintain body temp
- guards entrances and exits
Epimysium
- surrounds entire muscle
Perimysium
- surrounds each compartment called fascicle
- contains bundle of muscle fiber (pepperoni)
Endomysium
- surrounds individual muscle cells and interconnection adjacent muscle fibers
- between endomysium and muscle fibers
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
- stores and transfers calcium ions
tendon
- end of a muscle, collagen fibers of the epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium come together to form bundle called a tendon
Each muscle has two attachment sites
- origin- point of attachment to muscle to bone NON- MOVEABLE
- insertion- point of attachment to muscle to bone MOVEABLE
Skeletal muscle characteristics
- long
- embryonic stage- myoblasts form together to form single muscle fiber
- every nuclei in a muscle fiber represents a myoblast
- myoblast that do not fuse together differentiate into satellite cell
14 test questions
Skeletal muscle is surrounded by epimysium, containg muscle fascicles which are surrounded by perimysium that contains muscle fibers, that are surrounded by endomysium with calcium that contains myofibrils and those are surrounded by sarcoplasmic reticulum consisting of sarcomeres which contain thin and thick filaments
Sarcolemma
the cell membrane of the muscle fiber/cell that surrounds the sarcoplasm
Sarcoplasm
- cytoplasm of muscle cell/fibers (unequal charge across membrane)
- contains large amount of stored glycogen and myoglobin
Tendon
- connect muscle to bone
transverse tubules
- t- tubules
- passageways that carry electrical impulses from the sarcolemma into cell sarcoplasm
T- tubules surround what?
- myofibrils
Microfibrils
- responsible for skeletal muscle fiber contraction
Thin Filaments
- composed primarily of protein ACTIN
- composed of G-actin molecules, nebulin, in spiral pattern
- 3 tinged protein- Troponin holds Tropomyosin that cover Active sites
- every 7 pattern
Thick Filament
- composed primarily of protein myosin
- M-line - body of myosin
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR)
- forms network around each myofibril
- muscles contract when stored calcium is released into cytosol
Sarcomeres
- smallest functional unit of muscle fiber cellular proteins of sarcomeres
-
