Circulatory system Flashcards
how are cadiac cells connected
tough and intercalated disks connected cells
to survive decades
striated
describe smooth muscle
alternating diamond shape
lines gut and esophagus
peristaltic wave like contaction
actine and myosin filaments (myosin walks along actin to contract)
contracts involuntarily
skeletal muscle
striated z disks (actin attached to Z disk)
voluntary
muscle fiber made from fused myocytes that make up multi-nucleated myofibrils
glycogen
storage form of glucose in muscle
myo=
muscle
anaerobic glycolysis leads to
lactic acid buildup and myositis
myositis
muscle inflammation
sarco
muscle
actin
wishbone
myosin
inbetween actin, myosin head pull actin together
purpose of sarcoplasmic reticulum
ca+2 storage
autonomic =
automatic, no brain activity
abduction
away from body
adduction
towards midling
digital + carpal flexion
palm to caudal surface
