Chapter 17 Flashcards
Skeletal muscle contractions produce ____ of the body as a whole or ____ of its parts. Cardiac; smooth; skeletal
Movement
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (holding area) this area is equivalent to this
Network of tubules + sacs found within muscle fibers. Continually pumps CA2+ ions from the sarcoplasm + stores the ions within its for later release
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Plasma, membrane of muscle fibers
Sarcoplasmic membrane/ sarcolema (more likely to be used)
If you have poor ___ of disrupts function. Of the body. Continued partial contraction of many skeletal muscles makes it possible for sitting, standing and relatively stable position of the body
Posture
Shivering warms the body. Type of this. They produce this (muscle cells) through a process as catabolism. Skeletal muscles contraction constitute one of the most important part of the mechanism for maintaining homeostasis of temperature
Heat production.
Ability to contract or shorten allows muscle tissue to pull on bones and then produce body movement. The pulling ends pull regardless whether the cell actually shorten
Contractibility
Transverse tubules formed by inward extension of the sarcolemma membrane has ion pumps continually transport calcium ions inward from sarcolemma allows for faster activation of Cell charged particles. Allows electrical impulses traveling along sarcolemma to move deeper into cell.
T-tubles
The ability to extend or stretch thereby allowing muscles to return to their resting length
Extensibility
Irritability also known as the ability to be stimulated
Excitability
Segment of myofibril between two successive z-disks
Sarcomere
Numerosos fibrils packed close together in sarcoplasm. Are bundles a very fine cytoskeleton filaments that extend lengthwise along skeletal muscle fibers and fill sarcoplasm
Myfibrilos
Also called the Z line microscopic structure with in the myofibril of muscle fiber where the thin filament unite with each other and form netlike disk.
Z-disks
Triplet of tubules T2 Beulah sandwich between two sacks of sarcoplasmic reticulum. Allows an electrical impulse traveling along a T-tuble to stimulate the membranes of adjacent sacs of sarcoplasmic reticulum
Triad
Produces ATP or energy power plant of cell
Mitochondria
Controls what enters and leaves the cell
Cell membrane—> sarcoplasmic membrane (sarcolema)
Junction of thick myofilaments with the thin myofilaments in the myofibril of the muscle fiber where the head of myosin molecule in thick filament binds to active site of an active molecule in the thin filament
Cross bridge
Motor neurons connect to sarcolemma at motor endplate. Synapse with the neurotransmitter molecules transmit signals
Neuromuscular junction
Ultra microscopic threadlike structures found in my fibrils composed of myosin and actin
Myofilaments
Contractile protein found in thick filaments of skeletal muscle myofilaments
Myosin
Contractile protein found in thin myofilaments of skeletal muscle
Actin
Also known as the father cell. Long protein molecule that covers active sites of actin
Tropomyosin
Also known as the mother cell. Protein molecule and thin filaments of a muscle fibers spaced at intervals along tropomyosin strands that block active sites on the myofilaments are at rest. They sit in between the active sites of Acton and tropomyosin of my calcium stick to this it moves tropomyosin out of way
Troponin
Acetylcholine (ACh) released from motor neuron causes electrical impulses of sarcolemma calcium is released into the sarcoplasma(liquid portion of a cell) Sodium causes this
Excitation
For this to occur calcium has to be released into the sarcoplasma
Contraction
