Chapter 9 Muscles Flashcards
Describe blood supply in muscles
arteries deliver oxygen and nutrients to our muscles
veins carry waste away from the muscles
Smooth muscle tissue
not striated
involuntary
Skeletal muscle tissue
striations
voluntary
Cardiac muscle tissues
striated
involuntary
Contractility is the
ability to shorten
Extensibility is the
ability to be extended or stretched
Elasticity is the
ability to recoil
what are the 3 things muscles maintain
posture
stabilize joints
generate heat
Structure and Organization of skeletal muscles
Muscle is the organ
muscles is covered externally by the epimysium
we have hundreds of thousands of muscle cells
What are the three conncective tissue sheaths
epimysium
perimysium
endomysium
espimysium
epi means above or upon
dense regular connective tissue
surrounds the muscle
perimysium
surrounds fascicle
fibrous connective tissue
endomysium
surrounds muscle fibers
reticular fibers
Be able to label identify:
thick filaments
think filaments
z discs/lines
M line
I band
A band
H zone
what is the functions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
where do the t tubules conduct impulse?
the conduct muscle impulses to the deepest region of the muscles
What do t tubules impulses cause release of?
calcium
explain step by step what happens when a stimulus or action potential is received by an axon terminal
(make sure to include how contradiction ends in explaination)
What prevents continued muscle fiber contraction?
destroying ACh will prevent continued contraction
Understand what happens if AChE is inhibited or blocked
Understand what happens if there is a lack of ACh receptors
it will be harder to receive a contraction or it’s not going to contract at all
Which disease is associated with a lack of ACh receptors?
myasthenia gravis
no cure or treatment to help
muscle weakness
double vision
droopiness of eyelids
difficult time swallowing/speaking
mylofilaments
myosin and actin
myosin is the
thick filament
actin is the
thin filament
myosin makes up the
A band
actin makes up the
I band
types of muscle differ in
structure
location
function
means of activation
