histo Flashcards
cytoplasm
sarcoplasm
smooth er
sarcoplasmic reticulum
muscle cell membrane and it’s external lamina
sarcolema
dense irregular connective tissue; surrounds the muscle fiber
endomysium
thin connective tissue; surrounds each fascicle
perimysium
connects muscle to the bone, skin, or another muscle
myotendinous junction
reserve progenitor cells, fuses together following injury or trauma
satellite cell
•slow contractions for a long period of time without fatigue
•fibers: dark or red
slow oxidative muscle fibers
•rapid, short term contractions, leading to rapid fatigue
•fibers: white
•anaerobic metabolism of glycogen to glucose produces lactic acid
• accumulation of lactic acid leads to rapid fatigue
fast glycolytic fibers
intermediate between the two types
fast oxidative-glycolytic fibers
long cylindrical filament bundles in the sarcoplasm
myofibrils
anistropic, birefringent in polarized microscope
A band (dArk band)
isotropic, does not alter polarized light
I band (lIght band)
transverse line bisecting the I band
Z disc
repetitive contractile subunit
sarcomere
due to the arrangement of myofilaments: myosin and f actin
band pattern
thick filament
myosin
thin filament
actin
synthesize proteins to make myofilaments
myotubes
coil of two polypeptide chains in the groove between two twisted actin strands
tropomyosin
complex with three subunits
troponin
attaches to tropomyosin
TnT (troponin T)
binds calcium
TnC (troponin C)
regulates actin myosin interaction
TnI (troponin I)
acting-binding protein thay anchors actin filaments perpendicularly om the Z disc
a-actinin
largest protein in the body supporting the thick myofilaments and connects them to the Z disc
Titin
binds each thin myofilament leterally, helps anchor them to a-actinin, and spececies lenght of the actin polymers
nebulin
lighter zone central of A band
H zone
bisects H zone
M line
