What is teh connective tissue covering in order
Endomysium, Fascicle, Perimysium, Epimysium, tendons, and Aponeurosis
Whare the names of the cell membrane and cytoplasm of the muscle fiber
Sarcoplasm for cytoplasm and Sarcolemma cell membrane
What structure does sarcoplasm have?
Myofibrils-long parallel structures
What are the two prinicpal proteins of myfibrils
thin filaments of Actin and thick filaments of myosin
What causes the striation pattern
Sarcomeres( A-bands and I-bands)
Describe I-bands
Thin filaments of actin that are lighter in color
Describe A-bands
Thick filaments of myosin that are darker in color with h-zone in the middle
What are myosin filaments attached by?
Connectin or actin
What are the two regulatory proteins?
Troponin and Tropomyosin
Describe muscle contraction
An interaction of cellular and chemical constituents.
What components are used in contraction?
myofibrils, actin and myosin filaments
What is a synapse ( check note might be wrong)
The site of this functional connection to the end of axon
