Chapter 9 Muscular System Section 1 Flashcards
3 Types of Muscle Tissue
- skeletal
- smooth
- cardiac
Characteristics of Skeletal muscle tissue
- usually attached to bones
- under conscious conditions
- striated
Characteristics of Smooth muscle tissue
- walls of most viscera (covering of internal organs), bv, skin
- not under conscious control
- not striated
Characteristics of Cardiac muscle tissue
- wall of heart
- not under conscious control
- striated
The skeletal muscle is a ____ of the muscular system.
organ
Skeletal Muscle is made up of (11):
- skeletal muscle tissue
- nervous tissue
- blood
- connective tissue
- fascia
- tendon
- aponeuroses
- epimysium
- perimysium
- fascicle
- endomysium
What is fascia and types?
- dense CT that separate skeletal muscles
- types: deep, subcutaneous, subserous
What is a tendon and its connections?
- dense ct that is cord-like
- connect ms to bone
What are aponeuroses?
-sheetlike structure composed of dense CT
What is epimysium?
-layer of CT that closely surrounds skeletal ms
What is perimysium?
-CT that separates ms into fascicles
What is a fascicle?
-a section of a ms
What is endomysium?
-Ct that surrounds ms cells
Skeletal muscle fibers are composed of (5):
- muscle
- fascicles
- muscle fibers
- myofibrils
- thick and thin filaments
What is a sarcolemma?
- cell membrance of a ms cell
What is sarcoplasm?
-cytoplasm of a ms cell
What is the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
-a membranous network of channels and tubules within a ms fiber
What is a transverse tubule?
-( T tubule) a membranous channel that extends inward from a ms fiber membrane and passes through fiber
What is in a triad?
- cisterna f sarcoplasmic reticulum (2 enlarged portions of SR)
- transverse tubule- lies between 2 cisternae
What is myofibril and its location?
-threadlike structures loacted in sarcoplasm
What is key to muscle contraction?
-myofibril
Myofibril is composed of:
- actin
- myocin
What kind of filament is actin?
-thin
What kind of filament is myosin?
-thick
