EXERCISE 6: MUSCULAR TISSUE Flashcards
Narrow and separate one sarcomere from the next
Z DISC
Dark and middle part of sarcomere
A BAND
it is lighter and less dense of sarcomere
I BAND
Narrow and it is thick filaments but no thin filaments
H ZONE
It is the center of H zone and sarcomere
M LINE
It is the structural proteins that connects Z disc to M line of sarcomere, thereby helping to stabilize thick filaments position; can stretch and then spring back unharmed, and thus accounts for much of the elasticity and extensibility of myofibrils.
TITIN
It is the structural protein of Z discs that attach to actin molecules of thin filaments and titin molecules.
a - ACTIN
It forms M line of sarcomere; binds to titin molecules and connects adjacent thick filaments to one another.
MYOMESIN
Wraps around entire length of each thin filaments; helps anchor thin filaments to Z discs and regulates length of thin filaments during development
NEBULIN
Links thin filaments of sarcomere to integral membrane proteins in sarcolemma, which are attached in turn to proteins in connective tissue matrix that surrounds muscle fibers; thought to help reinforce sarcolemma and help transmit tension generated by sarcomeres to tendons.
DYSTROPHIN
What type of muscle Intercalated discs are found in gap junctions?
Cardiac muscle
It is found in hollow organs and blood vessels.
Smooth muscle
Attached to bones and tendons
Skeletal muscle
Mitochondria are larger and more abundant in this type
Skeletal muscle
Contracts only when stimulated
TRUE OR FALSE. Muscle cells are mesenchymal in origin
TRUE
TRUE or FALSE. Myomesin binds to titin molecules and connects adjacent thick filaments to one another.
TRUE
TRUE or FALSE. FOG (Fast Oxidative-Glycolytic) fibers are adopted for maintaining posture and for aerobic, endurance-type activities.
FALSE
SO (Slow Oxidative) fibers
TRUE or FALSE. Hemoglobin is the red-colored protein found in muscles.
FALSE
Myoglobin
TRUE or FALSE. The narrow region in the center of each A band that contains thick filaments is the H zone.
TRUE
It is striated and involuntary control
