Chapter 10 - Muscular Tissue Flashcards
(3) types of muscular tissue
skeletal
cardiac
smooth
skeletal muscle
moves?
striated?
voluntary/involuntary?
moves bones
striated
works in voluntary manner but also controlled **subconsciously **
**Cardiac **Muscle
found where?
striated?
voluntary/involuntary action?
found **only **in walls of the heart
striated
involuntary
**Smooth **Muscle
located?
striated?
involuntary/voluntary action?
located in **walls of hollow internal structure **(blood vessels, airways & many organs)
lacks striations
usually involuntary
Functions of **Muscular Tissue **(4)
1) producing body movements
2) stabilizing body positions
3) moving substances within body
4) generating heat
Properties of Muscular Tissue (4)
1) electrical excitability
2) contractibility
3) extensibility (stretch)
4) Elasticity (can return to normal length)
Skeletal Muscle Tissue
connective tissue components
Fascia
Epimysium
Perimysium
Endomysium
Fascia
Dense sheet or broad band of irregular connective tissue that surrounds muscles
(3) layers of connective tissue extend from fascia to protect & strengthen skeletal muscle
1) Epimysium
2) Perimysium
3) Endomysium
1) Epimysium
The outermost layer of dense irregular connective tissue
circles entire muscle
2) Perimysium
Separates 10-100 muscle fibers into bundles called fascicles
3) Endomysium
penetrates interior of each fasicle & seperates individual muscle fibers from one another (mostly reticular fibers)
Tendon
cord that attached muscle to a bone
Aponeurosis
connective tissue elements extend as broad flat sheet
(broad flattened tendon)
Neurons that stimulate skeletal muscle to contract are ____________motor neurons
The axon of a somatic motor neuron typically ____________many times, with each ___ extending to a different skeletal muscle fiber
somatic
branches
branch
The ____________of skeletal muscle fibers is set before you are born
(most of these cells last a lifetime)
number
Muscle growth occurs by?
**muscular hypertrophy **- an enlargement of existing muscle fibers
What can stimulate hypertrophy?
**Testosterone **& **Human Growth Hormone **
what cells retain the capacity to regenerate damaged muscle fibers ?
satellite cells
The plasma membrane of a muscle cell
sarcolemma
Tiny invaginations of sarcolemma
Tunnel in from the plasma membrane
Muscle action potentials travel through
Transverse (T Tubules)
the cytoplasm of a muscle fiber
includes glycogen used for synthesis of ATP and a red-colored protein called ____ which binds oxygen molecules
Sarcoplasm
Myoglobin
**Myoglobin **& oxygen?
protein that binds oxygen and releases it when it is needed for ATP production
Thread like structures within the sarcoplasm which have a contractile function
myofibrils
