introduction to muscular system Flashcards
covers an individual muscle fiber
endomysium
covers a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers
perimysium
covers the whole muscle fiber
epimysium
organelle packed with myofilaments
myofibril
transverse tubule and its flanking terminal cisternae
triad
invagination of the sarcolemma
transverse tubule
the region of sarcolemma across from the axon terminal at the neuromuscular junction
motor end plate
consists of actin, troponin, tropomyosin
thin filament
stores calcium
sarcoplasmic reticulum
consists of myosin
thick filament
functional unit of muscle contraction
sarcomere
a bundle of muscle fibers
fascicles
cytoskeletal elements
neurofibrils
gaps between schwann cells
nodes of ranvier
contain synaptic vesicles
axon terminals
produce neurotransmitters
nissl bodies
