Lab 7: Histology II (Muscle, Nervous, Membrane, Integumentary) Flashcards
3 types of muscle
- Skeletal
- Smooth
- Cardiac
What is muscle tissue
- cellular tissues that use ATP to generate force to produce contractions
Term for cytoplasm of muscle cell
Sarcoplasm
Cell membrane of muscle
Sarcolemma
Arrangement of skeletal muscle
Myofibrils within sarcoplasm (parallel structure)
What is myofilament
filaments that are composed of myofibrils.
Myofilament is composed of what protein
Actin and myosin
Myofibril is composed of
Myocytes
Thick protein filament
Myosin
Thin protein filaments
Actin
How are actin arranged
In sarcomeres
How is smooth muscle arranged
Tightly packed in sheet like way
Arrangement of cardiac muscle
cells branch in irregular pattern and cells join end-to-end by intercalated discs (dark lines)
Striations in skeletal
Visible
Skeletal shape fibers
Long, thick, cylindrical, blunt ends
Do fibers branch in skeletal
No
Nucleus position in skeletal
Periphery
Nuclei number in skeletal
Multiple
Skeletal location
Attached to skeleton
Function of skeletal
Move skeleton
Is skeletal voluntary or involuntary
Voluntary
Striations in smooth
Absent
Striations in cardiac
Visible
Shape of smooth fibers
Shorter, spindle- shaped, tapered- ends
Fiber shape of cardiac
Branched shorter and cells join end to end with intercalated discs
Do fibers of cardiac branch
Yes
Nucleus position of cardiac
Center
Nucleus position of smooth
Center
Do smooth fibers branch
Yes
How many nuclei in smooth
One
How many nuclei in cardiac
One
Location of smooth
Within walls of hollow organs (blood vessels, urinary, digestive, respiratory)
Location of cardiac
Walls of heart
Function of smooth
Propel contents of hollow organs (Contraction moves materials along passageways and regulate diameter of blood vessels)
Function of cardiac
Contracts heart to propel blood
Is smooth voluntary or involuntary
Involuntary
Is cardiac voluntary or involuntary
Involuntary
What is nervous tissue (neural tissue)
It regulates activity of other body systems
2 divisions of n.t
CNS (Brain and spinal cord)
PNS (n.t. Outside Brain and spinal cord)
2 main cell types of nervous tissue
Neurons and neuroglia cells
Neuroglia cells function
provide homeostatic support, protection, and defense to the nervous tissue.
Function of neurons
(structural and functional units of nervous tissue)
Convert stimuli into electrical signals called action potentials or nerve impulses
What is soma
Region of neuron that contains nucleus
What are nissl bodies
Cluster of rough er + ribosomes (synthesis and segregation of nissl bodies)
Present in cytoplasm are neurofibrils
What are neurofibrils
Proteins of filaments + elements of cytoskeleton
Dendrite
Receive stimuli/ info from other neurons
Conduct impulse to toward neuron cell body
Axon (nerve fiber)
Cytoplasmic process extending from cell body
Specialized to conduct info to other cells
Long and slender
What is axon covered in
Myelin sheath for protection and insulation, increases speed of conduction of nerve impulse
PNS axons are covered by myelin sheath formed by
Schwann cells
CNS myelin sheath is formed by
Oligondendrocytes
