Chapter 10 - Muscle Tissue Flashcards
Which type of muscle is voluntary?
Skeletal muscle
What are the 3 types of muscle tissue?
Cardiac, smooth, skeletal
What types of muscle are involuntary?
Cardiac, smooth
This type of muscle tissue is multinucleated.
Skeletal muscle tissue
What type of muscle tissue is not striated?
Smooth muscle tissue
What type of muscle tissue has intercalated discs?
Cardiac muscle tissue
Muscles have 3 layers of connective tissue, which are ___________.
Epimysium, perimysium, endomysium
How does a skeletal muscle fiber form?
Throughout the fusion of numerous myoblasts (mesodermal cells). The cytoplasm s fuse, but nucleuses stay individuals. That’s why muscle tissue is multinucleated.
__________ are responsible for muscle contraction.
Myofilaments
What are the 2 types of myofilaments?
Thin and thick filaments
What are thin myofilaments made out of?
Actin
What are thick myofilaments made out of?
Myosin
True of false: a triad is made by 1 T tubule and 2 terminal cisternae.
True
Myofibrils are made up of bundles of protein filaments called ___________.
Myofilaments
How does muscle contraction begin?
Cisternae release Ca^2+ into sarcomeres
The cell membrane of a muscle fiber is called _________.
Sarcolemma
The cytoplasm of a muscle fiber is called __________.
Sarcoplasm
What transmits action potential through muscle cells and allows entire muscle fiber to contract simultaneously?
Transverse tubules (T tubules)
_______________ is a membranous structure surrounding each myofibril that helps to transmit action potential to myofibril.
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
True or false: the sarcomas mic reticulum is similar in structure to rough endoplasmic reticulum.
False. Similar in structure to smooth endoplasmic reticulum
A sarcomere is from _______ to _______.
Z line to Z line
Thin filaments form the __ band and thick filaments form the __ band
Thin - I band
Thick - A band
_______ are strands of protein that reach from tips of thick filaments to the z line and act to stabilize the filaments.
Titin
True or false: the H band has thick filaments but no thin filaments.
True
