Friedman- 3 Muscular - Sheet1 Flashcards
Function of muscular system
Production of movement, maintaining posture, stabilization of joints, heat generation
type of muscle
skeletal, smooth, cardiac
skeletal
Voluntary movement, connected to bone, multinucleated
Smooth
no striation, involuntary movement, found in stomach-intestine-bladder-respiratory passage. movement is slow and sustained.
Cardiac
Found only in heart, striated, involuntary movement, contain intercaleted discs
Intercalated discs (cardiac)
Proteins that connect two muscle cells together, provide strength for repetitive motion
Skeletal (microscopic)
striation: light/dark pattern. structures present inside the muscle cells known as srcomere
Sarcomere
thick filament (myosin) thin filament (actin)
skeletal (activity)
contraction requires nerve impulse
neuromuscular junction
axon terminal connected to sarcolemma of muscle (space between nerve ending/axon terminal & muscle fiber)
nerve impulse (skeletal muscle contraction)
Neuromuscular junction-release of neurotransmitter Ach- Na+/K+ channels open-opening of calcium channels-lead to muscle contraction
all or none law
one muscle cell is fully contracted when stimulated
aerobic respiration
presence of oxygen-lots of ATP (32 ATP per glucose)
anaerobic respiration
absense of oxygen-limited ATP(2 ATP per glucose) -lactic acid
aerobic endurance
exercise: jogging, biking, etc..
striation
light/dark pattern
fibril
organiuzed protein structure inside of muscle fiber
A band
Dark portion of striation where thick and thin filaments overlap
I band
light port of the striation where only actin is present
M line
support beam for actin (thick filament)
Z line
support beam for myosin (thin filament)
neurotransmitter
chemical signal that allows one nerve to interact with another nerve/muscle fiber
axon terminal
nerve endings/contains neurotransmitters
Channels/openings on skeletal muscle
Na+ & K+
Action potential
changing voltage of cell - leads to release of calcium from within cell
Ach
neurotransmitter acetylcholine that leads to muscle contraction
steps of contraction
Ach cause opening of Na+ & K+ channels > creates action potential > release of calcium from within cell > direct effect of sarcomere > muscle contraction
normal activity
increase of mitochondria
lack of activity
decrease in mitochondria
high activity
DRASTIC increase of mitochondria
