Chapter 6-10 Flashcards
Muscular system movement
all require energy
Where do muscles come from?
mesenchymal cells
Mesenchymal cells
various locations throughout embryo
Functions of Muscular System
- produce movement of skeleton
- maintain posture and body position
- support soft tissue
- guard entrances and exits
- maintain body temperature
Endomysium
surrounds each individual cell
Tendon sheaths
reduce friction
Trigger for muscle contraction
calcium ions released by the SR
Proprioception
recruiting more muscle units when in an unstable environment
Muscle Mechanics
force generated can be increased by increasing frequency of action potentials or by recruiting additional motor units
What are muscles producing at rest?
glycogen
Most deep ab muscle?
transverse abdominis
SITS
supraspinatus, infraspinaturs, teres minor, subscapularis
Sartorius
crosses one leg over another
osteocytes
within lacuna (holes) in matrix and between lamellae of matrix
Osteoclasts
breakdown bone and source of acid, enzymes for oseolysis
