Chapter 10 Pt. 1 A&P Flashcards
What are the main functions of muscles? (4)
- Purposeful movement
- Manipulation of external
- Propulsion of contents
- Emptying of contents
Categorized muscle: 4
- Striated
- Un striated
- Voluntary
- Involuntary
What muscles are striated?
Skeletal and Cardiac
What muscle is un striated?
Smooth muscle
Which muscle is voluntary?
Skeletal
Which muscles are involuntary?
Cardiac and Smooth
What are muscles categorized by?
Structure and Control
What are muscle fibers bundled together by?
Connective tissue
What are muscle fibers composed of?
Myofibrils
What are myofibrils made of?
regular arrangement of…
Thick and Thin filaments
What fibers lay parallel to one another?
Muscle fibers
In muscle organization, what is whole muscle?
An organ
In muscle organization, what is muscle fiber?
A cell
In muscle organization, what is myofibril?
Specialized intracellular structure
In muscle organization, what is myofilament?
Thick and thin filament
In muscle organization, what are protein molecules?
Myosin and actin
What is a dense sheet or broad band or irregular CT?
Fascia
What surrounds each muscle fiber?
Endomysium
What is around muscle fibers separating muscles into fascicles?
Perimysium
What surrounds the entire muscle?
Epimysium
What attaches muscle to bone?
Tendon
What are the 3 levels of fascia?
Endomysium, Perimysium, and Epimysium
What is the sarcolemma?
Plasma membrane of muscle cell
What are T tubules?
Invaginations of sarcolemma into muscle tissue
What is the cytoplasm of muscle fiber?
Sarcoplasm
What is the red-colored protein that binds oxygen found only in muscle?
Myoglobin
What is the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
Smooth ER of muscle cells containing calcium
What does “myo” mean?
Muscle
FYI:
What is the Sarcomere an arrangement of?
Myofibrils
What is the “I band”?
Thin filaments that do not project into “A band”
What is the “A band” made of?
Thick filaments ONLY
What does the Z-line/disc make up?
The edges of sarcomeres, it is the cytoskeleton fiber to anchor actin
What is the supporting protein in the middle or the sarcomere?
M-line
What is the “H zone”?
Central portions of thick filaments in the sarcomere
FYI:
True or False: Myosin forms thin filaments.
False. It forms thick filaments.
What looks like intertwined golf clubs?
Myosin
Each myosin head has: (2 things)
- Actin-binding site
- ATP-binding site
What kind of filaments does Actin form?
Thin
What looks like Christmas bulbs/pearl necklace?
Actin
Two other proteins in Actin:
Tropomyosin and Troponin
What has 3 polypeptide units?
Troponin
What binds Ca2+?
Troponin
You’re doing great!
Keep going! :)
