lecture 14 muscle Flashcards
What ar ethe characteristics of skeletal muscle?
- Multinucleated synctium
- formed during embryonic development when hundreds of induvdual mononucleared myoblasts join end to end to form myotube
- myotube matures into multinucleaed myocytes
- peripheral nuclei
- sarcomeric arrangement
- fiber innvervated by single motor axon
- contraction = all or none
- Contains troponin C 50 ti 60 nanometers in Diameter










What is a type 1 muscle fiber?
Intense staining for oxidative enzymes
Rich in NADH transferase , myoglobin, and they possess may mitochondria
Primarily unitlize oxidatiev phophorlaytion
Produce slow and continuous contractions
Dark red fibers
What is a type 2A muscle fiber?
Intermediate staining for oxidative enzymes for oxidative enzymes
utilize both aerobic and anaerobic respiration for ATP production
Contract more rapidly than 1 type fibers
resistance to fatigue
What is a Type 2B muscle fiber
light staining for oxidative enzymes
utilize primarily anaerobic respiration for ATP production
Rich in ATPase
Contract more rapidly than type 1 or type 2A fibers
Fatigure quickly reffered to as white or light fiber
what type of stain and fiber?


What are smooth muscles?
- single mononucleated cels
- no sarcomeric arrangement
- cells innervated via ANS
- Do not respond “ all or none”
- Cells connect via gap junctions

What is cardiac tissue?
- SIngle mononucleated cells
- centrally positioned nuclei
- cells often branched
- sarcomeric arrangement
- cells communicate via gap junctions
- Intercalated discs
- Cells directly innervated

What is the heirarchy of skeletal muscle
Muscle
many Fasicile
bundle myofibers
bundle myofibrils
linear array of sarcomeres
filaments
thin = acint ; thicc = myosin
What surrounds hierchy of skeletal muscle?
- EPimysium covers muscle
- PERImysium covers fasicle (fibroblasts +type 1 collagen)
- Sarcolemma (cell membrane) covers myofiber ( muscle cell)
- ENDOmyosum covers myofiber too
- Consists of basal lamina and reticular fibers
- secreated via muscle cells
- anchors fibers to ea other (distributes fore of contraction)
What is the structure of a sarcomere
during contraction distance between z lines become shorter (decreased length in sarcomere)
