Intro And CH.18-19 Part A And B Flashcards
What are muscle tissues made of
Muscle fibers (cell)
All muscle types: (4)
Excitability, contract ability, extensibility, elasticity
Muscle types are differentiated by:
Fibretype,location of nuclei, number of nuclei, “appearance”; striated/unstriated, nature of control: voluntary/involuntary
3 Major muscle types
Smooth, cardiac, skeletal
Smooth muscle characteristics
- has spindle shaped, nonstriated, uninucleated fibres
Occurs in walls of . Internal organs - is voluntary
Cardiac Muscle Characteristics
-has striated, branched, uniculeated fibers
-occurs in walls of heart
-is voluntary
Skeletal muscle characterstics
-has striated, tubular, multinucleated fibers
-is usually attached to skeleton
-is voluntary
Skeletal Muscle- Macro Structure
-bone connects to muscle by tendon
-pulls on bones to move joints
-tube within a tube within a tube…
-
Surrounds all the muscle fiber bundles (fascicle) to form the entire muscle
Epimysium (largest)
Surrounds several muscle fibers and forms bundles called fasciculi
Perimysium (medium)
Connective tissue that wraps each much fiber
Endomysium
By weight, a single muscle fibre is made up of primarily:
Water
A single muscle fiber by weight consists of what total?
75% water
20% protein
5% other minerals (K+, Na+, Cl-), fats, CHO, amino acids, enzymes, ATP,, lactate, etc
Sarcolemma
Muscle cell membrane surrounding muscle fiber
Satellite cells
Located within the sarcolemma (between plasma and basement membrane)
-help regenerate cell growth (myogenic stem cells)
-play a role in hypertrophy
Sarcoplasm
Protoplasm (enzymes, fat, glycogen)
Nuclei
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
-network of t tubules and vesicles (triads)
-located around myofibrils
-provides structural integrity and spreads depolarization
-role: stores, releases, and reabsorbs Ca2+
What is the Triad System
2 large sacs (vesicles) are the terminal cistern are of the SR
-small central sac is the t-tubules
Within the single muscle fiber there are:
Myofibrils (1um or 1/1000mm) in diameter
Myobrils contain:
Myofilaments
Myofilaments are:
Proteins that make up sarcomere units
What is a sarcomere
Functional unit of a muscle fiber
Runs from a-line to a-line
-6000 sarcomere per fibre, around 4500 on average
Place the Following in Order starting with whole muscle: Whole muscle, Myofilaments, Myofibrils, Muscle Fibre, Muscle Fasiculi
Whole Muscle, Muscle Fasiculi, Muscle Fibres, Myofibrils, Myofilaments
At what level of a muscle would you find a bundle of muscle fibers?
In the Fascicle
Myofibril proteins (Myofilaments) that make up the sarcomere:
Myosin (thick), Actin (thin)
2 Contractile proteins:
Actin and Myosin
-these make up 85% of myofibrillar complex
Within actin are what 2 filaments?
Troponin (thin) and Tropomyosin (thin)
-both are regulatory proteins
I Band is…
Light and actin only
