Hisotlogy Of Muscle Flashcards
What type of muscle tisse makes 40% of body weight
Skeletal muscles
T or f
Perimysium covers fascicle
T
Most important component of
skeletal muscles ?
Muscle fibers
T or f
Muscle grow through hyperplasia
F. Hypertrophy
myofilaments
Are Separated by
sarcoplasmic reticulum
What are the Contractile organelles of
skeletal muscle
Myofibril
Whats the functional unit of myofibrils
Sarcomere
Whats responsibile for stration in myofibrils
Sacromeres
Each sarcomere is separated from
the next by
Z disc
Sarcomeres are composed of
Actin and myosin
the part of the A band
that contains only thick filaments
(myosin)
H zone
Myofibrils are built of 3 kinds of protein
Name them
Contractile
Regulatory
Structural
Name two regulatory protiens
Troponin tropomyosim
What can you find outa epimysium
Fascia
What type of band gives the light striation seen
underneath the microscope
I band
…….is the middle of the sarcomere
and is composed of supporting proteins
that hold the thick filaments together
M line
……center part of A band where
no thin filaments occur
H zone
Role of t tubules
rapid transmission of action potential to cell
Regulate calcium concentration
Increase efficiency of muscle contraction
an autoimmune disease in which
autoantibodies attach to acetylcholine receptors,
blocking their availability to acetylchoine.
Myasthenia gravis
Symptom of myasthenia gravis
Skeletal muscles including diaphragm weaken
gradually.
