Ch.l Mn&s Systems Flashcards
System that initiates and modifies activity of muscles
Nervous system
System that generates force to rotate body about joint
Muscular system
System that rotates bones which provide movement of the body
Skeletal system
Bundle of fascicles that are surrounded by epimysium
Muscle
Bundle of muscle fibers that surround permission
Fascicles
Muscle cell that is surrounded by endomysium
Muscle fibers
What do myofilaments have
Actin(thin)
Myosin(thick)
Sliding filament theory
Theory that when actin filaments slide past myosin filaments, it generates muscle tension/contraction
Outer layer of nucleus
Sarcolemma
5 parts of Skeletal muscle fiber cell
Sarcolemma
Sarcoplasm
Sarcoplasmic reticulum SR
T-Tubules
Mitochondria
What is between the Z-lines within sarcomere
H-zone
I-band
A-band
Basic contractile unit
Sarcomere
Protein structures within the cell that contains myofilaments
Myofibril
Head attaches to & pulls on actin filament while connected to z-line
Myosin (thick)
Surrounded by regulating tryponin I typomyosin
Actin (thin)
Region of communication between a neuron and a muscle fiber
Neuromuscular junction
Parts of the motor neuron involved in neuromuscular junction
Axon terminal
Synaptic cleft
Motor end plate
___ neuromuscular junction per muscle fiber
1
SFT: AP in neuron results in release of __ into synaptic cleft
Acetylcholine (Ach)
SFT: __ binds w/ receptors on __ leading to generation of an action potential in muscle fiber
Ach
SFT: AP in muscle fiber results in release of __ from __
Calcium Ca+
SR
SFT: Ca+ binds to _ & _ moves away from active site on actin
Troponin
Tropomyosin
SFT: Myosin head attaches to _ forming a crossbridge pulling the _ towards the center of sarcomere
Actin
Muscle fiber shortness or lengthens when
Actin and myosin slide past each other
A muscles action depends on the interaction between the _ and an external force like…
Muscle force
Gravity,object, etc
Action: muscle force>external resistance
Concentric action
