Chapter 7 Muscles Flashcards
Skeletal
Striated,voluntary,attaches to bones
What are the types of muscle tissue
Skeletal
Smooth
Cardiac
Smooth muscle
No striations,involuntary,walls of blood vessels and abdominal organs
Cardiac muscle
Striations,involuntary,heart wall
Hierarchy of muscle structure
Muscle-fascicles-muscle fibers-myofibrils-filaments
Aponeurosis
Attach muscle to other muscles and connective tissues
Tendons
Attach muscle to bone
Skeletal muscle fibers
Sarcolemma-plasma membrane Sarcoplasm-cytoplasm Contain myofibrils-contractile elements Actin filaments-thin-striations Myosin-thick-striations Actin has troponin and tropomyosin
Sarcomere
Contractile units
Zline-zline
Sarcoplasm reticulum
Smooth er in muscle cell
Transverse tubule
Penetrate into fiber so they lie alongside and contact sarcoplasmic reticulum
Neuromuscular junction
Connection between axon of motor neuron and sarcolemma of muscle fiber
Synaptic cleft
Space between axon and sarcolemma
Ach acetylcholine
Vesicles with neurotransmitter
Oxygen debt
Amount of oxygen required to metabolize lactic acid
Deep breathing occurs until debt is paid
