Chapter 10 - Muscular System Flashcards
The study of muscles
Myology
Has distinct banding patterns and sarcomeres
Striated muscle
what kind of control is skeletal muscle ?
Voluntary control
What kind of control is cardiac muscle ?
Involuntary control
Has no distinct banding patterns, all involuntary movement
Smooth muscle
Most smooth muscle is ?
Single unit smooth muscle
Certain locations of smooth muscle ?
Multi unit smooth muscle
2 Types of muscle ?
Striated and Unstriated
Force generated by contracting muscle
Tension
Force exerted on muscle by object (Usually weight)
Load
What kind of muscle is attached to bones across joints ?
Skeletal muscle
what kind of muscle, when contacted or shortened, it generates tension/force
Skeletal muscle
When tension > load, movement of one of the two bones it is attached to occurs
Skeletal muscle
Tension produced, but no change in length of muscle (Tension <= load)
Isometric
Muscle length changes
Isotonic
bundles of highly organized molecules inside muscular fiber
Myofibrils
Muscle cells
Muscle fiber
Bundles of fiber cells
Fascicle
Bundles of fascicles
Muscle
Membrane around muscle fibers
Endomysium
Membrane around fascicles
Perimysium
Membrane around muscle
Epimysium
Muscle that is thick in the middle and thin on the ends
Fusiform
Example of Fusiform
Biceps Brachii
