25
- largest and most prevalent type of skeletal muscle fiber - intermediate ATPase - provides power - primarily aerobic - intermediate fatigue
Type IIa fibers (oxidative glycolysis)
26
- fast ATPase produces fast contractions - largely anaerobic - rapid fatigue - lower myoglobin content
Type IIb fibers (fast glycolytic)
27
Types of nerve tissue
1. Neuron 2. Neuroglia (neuron supporting cells)
28
Two major parts of the neuron
- cell body - cell processes (dendrites and axons)
29
Functional cells of nervous tissue
Neurons
30
Functions of neurons
Receive, process, transmit electrical signals
31
Stain that is taken up by abundant rough ER which reflects need to make lots of neurotransmitters and protein to maintain this large cell
Nissl substance
32
(Nerve Cell) processes the electrical information
Cell body
33
(Nerve Cell) carry electrical signals toward the nerve cell body
Dendrites
34
(Nerve Cell) carries electrical signals away from the nerve cell body
Axon (only 1 per cell)
35
(Nerve Cell) where electrical signals are transferred from the axon terminal of the nerve to an effector cell
Synapse
36
Multipolar neuron
- many dendrites - one axon
37
Bipolar neuron
- one dendrite - one axon
38
Unipolar neuron
- one cell process from which branches a single axon and single dendrite
39
What surrounds neurons in the PNS?
- satellite cells - Schwann cells
40
What forms myelin in the (1) CNS and (2) PNS?
1. Oligodendrocytes - wrap cell process around axon 2. Schwann cell - wraps itself around the axon
41
Nodes of Ranvier
Transmission signal jumps from node to node which is why conduction is faster with myelination
42
\_\_\_\_ surround axons.
Endoneurium
43
\_\_\_\_ surrounds clusters of axons forming fascicles.
Perineurium
44
\_\_\_\_\_ surrounds several nerve fascicles.
Epineurium
45
Parts of the chemical synapse
1. Presynaptic knob 2. Synaptic cleft 3. Presynaptic membrane 4. Post-synaptic membrane
46
Synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic knob contain (1) ______ which is released into the (2) ________ by (3) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the (4) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. This binding (5) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
1. Neurotransmitter 2. Synaptic cleft 3. Exocytosis 4. Post-synaptic membrane 5. Stimulates the post-synaptic cell
47
Ends of nerve fibers store and release chemical messengers at NMJ
Axon terminals
48
Space between axon terminal and muscle cell plasma membrane
Synaptic cleft
49
Every ____ muscle cell receives an axon terminal.
Skeletal
50
Steps of muscle contraction
1. Nerve impulse stimulates release of Acetylcholine (example) into the synaptic cleft. 2. ACH stimulates changes in the sarcolemma that excite the muscle fiber. This stimulus is carried down the T-tubules to initiate fiber contraction. 3. Enzymes in the synaptic cleft break down ACH and limit its action to single muscle twitch.
51
Function of muscle spindle receptors
Monitor changes in length, rate of change, and tension of muscle
52
Specialized fibers inside the muscle spindle
Intramural fibers
53
Types of intrafusal fibers
1. Nuclear bag fibers 2. Nuclear chain fibers
54
- wrapped at the center by type Is nerve fibers - detect change in length and degree of tension
Nuclear bag fibers
55
- wrapped at their ends by type II nerve fibers - detect static muscle length
Nuclear chain fibers
56
Muscle fibers outside the spindle
Extrafusal fibers (alpha motor fibers)
