17
Q

Which muscle type exhibits elliptical and corkscrew nuclei?

A

Smooth muscle

18
Q

In what muscle cell types are dense bodies found?

A

Smooth muscle (equivalent of intercalated discs)

19
Q

Where are bouton en passant found? What do they do?

A

Smooth muscle - they release neurotransmitter

20
Q

What is caveolae and where are they found?

A

Smooth muscles’ version of t-tubules

21
Q

What is myogenic stimulation?

A

Mechanical stimulation using mechanosensitive ion channels in smooth muscle

22
Q

What type of muscle does oxytocin work on?

A

Smooth

23
Q

Which skeletal muscle-associated CT is continuous with tendons?

A

Epimysium (outermost CT layer)

24
Q

Are fibroblasts present in skeletal muscle?

A

Yes, they can be in the perimysium (CT surrounding fiber bundles)

25
Q

What type of collagen makes up the endomysium?

A

Type III collagen

26
Q

What is a diagnostic feature of cardiac muscle in cross section? (vs. skeletal)

A

Cardiac muscle will have irregular shapes like figure eights and U shapes

27
Q

What type of collagen makes up the perimysium, epimysium, and endomesium (in non-cardiac striated muscle)?

A

Type I, Type I, Type III (reticular fibers)

28
Q

Does the I Band contain thick filaments?

A

No, only thin filaments.

29
Q

What happens to the H zone during contraction?

A

It shrinks.

30
Q

What fibers are in the A band?

A

Thick and thin

31
Q

Are white fibers fast or slow twitch?

A

Fast

32
Q

Does golgi tendon organ activation result in muscle contraction or relaxation?

A

Relaxation

33
Q

Does muscle spindle activation result in muscle contraction or relaxation?

A

Contraction

34
Q

What is the mode of inheritance for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy? What is the defect?

A

X-linked, dystrophin defect

35
Q

What are the steps of nerve regeneration?

A
  1. Nerve injury
  2. Degradation of axon distal to injury
  3. Persistence of Schwann cell basal lamina
  4. Schwann cells form cellular cords
  5. Axon sprouts grow into basal lamina
  6. Remyelination (if applicable)
36
Q

Do A bands shorten during muscle contraction?

A

No

37
Q

What type of muscle has an external lamina?

A

All of them

38
Q

Is the external lamina of smooth muscle continuous?

A

No

39
Q

Does smooth muscle have troponin-tropomyosin complexes?

A

Nope

40
Q

Are nerve cell bodies (perikarya) found in peripheral nerves?

A

Nooope. The nerve cell bodies will be in the DRG or in the CNS.

41
Q

Which cells assosiated with the nervous system have an external lamina?

A

Schwann cells
