Chapter 8 Flashcards
Type of Muscle tissue with limited capacity to regenerate
Cardiac and skeletal muscle
Type of Muscle tissue with several nuclei per myofiber
Skeletal muscle
Type of muscle tissue with Striated appearance
Cardiac and skeletal muscle
Type of muscle tissue with parallel arrangement of muscle fibers
Skeletal muscle
Type of muscle tissue with cells tapered at each end
Smooth muscle
Type of muscle tissue with one nucleus per fiber
Cardiac and smooth muscle
Type of muscle tissue found in the heart
Cardiac muscle
Type of muscle tissue with branching arrangement of muscle fibers
Cardiac muscle
Type of muscle tissue that appears nonstriated or smooth
Smooth muscle
Type of muscle tissue with voluntary control
Skeletal muscle
Type of muscle tissue with involuntary control
Cardiac and smooth muscle
Type of muscle tissue located on the walls of hollow internal structures
Smooth muscle
Major Functions of muscles
Movement, body positions, stabilize, regulate organ volume, heat production and movement of substances
slight, constant contraction during consciousness
Tone
Shortens the muscles and causes movement
Isotonic
Increases muscle tension but no movement occurs
Isometric
Continuous sustained contraction allowing smooth movement
Tetanus
Stair step increase in congestion with repeated stimulation before muscle has completely relaxed
Summation
Does the length of actin and myosin filaments change during muscle conntraction
No
This is essential for maintaining posture
Muscle tone
third phase or period of muscle twitch contraction
Relaxation
Structures in enlarged bulb of axon provide energy to make ACh
Mitochondria
State of limpness in which muscle tone is lost
Flaccid
Cytoplasm of a muscle fiber
Sarcoplasm
Tissue responsible for most hear production going on in the body
Muscle tissue
Skeletal muscles have good or bad blood and nerve supply
Good
All the Muscle fibers in this contract or relax together
Motor unit
Movement of these ions from outside sarcolemma to inside causes an action potential to begin to move along
Calcium ions
Dietary supplement the some studies show may result in more lifting power
Creatine
Storage form of glucose in our liver and muscles
Glycogen
Anaerobic process provides enough energy for 30-40 seconds of maximal activity
Glycolysis
Connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone
Tendon
Source of energy for muscle contraction
ATP
Another name for action potential
Nerve impulse
