Chapter 10 Flashcards
Characteristics of muscle
Irritability: reacts to stimulus
Contractility
Extensibility: relaxation
Elasticity: stretching of muscle
Attach muscle to bone
Tendon
Tendon sheets
Aponeurosis
Surrounding entire muscle; separates muscle from surrounding tissue and organs
Epimysium
Divides muscle into compartments or bundles of cells called fascicles
Perimysium
Surrounds individual muscle cells or fibers
Endomysium
Fuse forming multinucleated cells and develop into skeletal muscle fibers
Myoblasts
How many micrometers are in a millimeter
1000
Fleshy part of the skeletal muscle cell membrane of the muscle
Sarcolemma
Fluid and cell organelles
Sarcoplasm
Highly specialized endoplasmic reticulum that stores calcium for muscle contraction
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Create direct route for faster muscle contraction
T tubules
Made up of actin and myosin
Sarcomere
Z lines have what
Anchoring proteins
Where actin and myosin overlap
A band also called dark band
Light band
I band
Covers binding sites on Actin
Tropomyosin
Uncovers binding sites on Actin
Troponin
Muscle that is not stimulated by nerve is what
Paralyzed
What filament is thin and what filament is thick
Actin myosin
How many Neuromuscular junction’s are in one muscle fiber
One
What part of the neuromuscular junction generates action potential
Sarcolemma
