Chapter 10 Flashcards
Also has crossed radiation and easy law is composed of elongated often branch cells bound to one another at structures called intercalated disks that are unique to this muscle. contraction is involuntary vigorous and rhythmic
Cardiac muscle
Contains bundles of very long multinucleated cells with cross striations their contraction is quick forceful and usually under voluntary control
Skeletal muscle
Consist of collections of fusiform cells that lack striations and have slow involuntary contractions
Smooth muscle
In all types of muscle contraction is caused by the sliding interaction of thick_________ filaments along thin ______ filaments
Myosin, Actin
The cytoplasm of the muscle
Sarcoplasm
The smooth ER in muscle
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
The muscle cell membrane and its external Lamina
Sarcolemma
The variation in diameter of muscle fibers depends on factors such as the___________,____________,_______,_______, and __________
Specific muscle, age, gender, nutritional status, and physical training
Increased cell volume is called
Hypertrophy
Increase in number of cells is called
Hyperplasia
Have a small population and remains adjacent to most fibers of differentiated skeletal muscle
Satellite cells
An external sheath of dense connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle septa of this tissue extend inward carrying larger nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics of the muscle
Epimysium
A thin connective layer that immediately surrounds each bundle of muscle fibers ( fascicles) Nerves, blood vessels and lymphatics penetrate this layer to supply each fascicle
Perimysium
Surrounds the external lamina of individual muscle fibers.
Endomysium
Transitional regions where collagen fibers from the tendon insert themselves among muscle fibers and associate directly with complex Infoldings of sarcolemma
Myotendinous junctions
Dark bands where both actin and myosin are both present
A Bands
Light bands were actin filaments are present are bisected by the z disc
I bands
The repetitive functional subunit of the contractile apparatus
Sarcomere
Long cylindrical filament bundles , runs parallel to the long axis of the fiber
Myofibrils
Skeletal muscle mesenchymal cells
Myoblasts
When myoblasts Fuse to make multi-nucleated tubes
Myotubes
When myoblasts do not fuse and differentiate but remain a group of mesenchymal cells located on the external surface of muscle fibers inside developing external Lamina they proliferate and produce new muscle fibers following muscle injury
Satellite cells
Filaments or 1.6 µm long and 15 nm wide. It is a Marge complex with two identical heavy chains and two pairs of light chains heavy chains are thin rodlike motor proteins twisted together as tails
Myosin
Thin helical filaments which are one micrometer long 8 nm wide and run between the thick filaments contains a binding site for myosin
Actin
Acting filaments are anchored perpendicularly it on the Z disc by the actin binding protein
a-actin
A 40 nm long coil of two polypeptide chains located in the groove between the two twisted acting strands
Tropomyosin
This regulatory protein has three subunits ( TnT, TnC, TnI)
Tropnin
TnT of tropnin
Attaches to tropomyosin
TnC of Tropnin
Binds to Calcium
TnI in Tropnin
Regulates the actin-myosin interaction
The largest protein in the body with scaffolding and elastic properties which supports the thick myofilaments and connects them to the Z disc
Titin
A very large accessory protein binds eats then myofilaments latterly helps anchor them to Alpha Actin and specifies the links of the actin polymers During myogensis
Nebulin
Located in the M line
Holds thick filaments in place and is also a myosin binding protein
Myomesin
This enzyme catalyzes transfer of phosphate groups from phosphocreatine a storage form of high-energy phosphate groups to ADP helping to supply ATP for muscle contraction
Creatine kinase
Is specialized for calcium Sequestration
Sacroplasmic reticulum
______________ of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane which causes release of calcium is initiated at specialized motor nerve synapses on the sarcolemma
Depolarization
Long fingerlike invagination’s of the cell membrane penetrate deeply into the sarcoplasm and encircle every myofibril near the aligned A and I and boundaries of sarcomeres
Transverse or T tubules
Adjacent to each side of every T tubule are expanded
Terminal cisterns
The complex of a T tubule with 2 associated small cisterns of sarcoplasmic reticulum on each side is known as
A Triad
