lecture 3 muscle Flashcards
muscles pull on bones to move the animal through space
locomotion
muscles move the jaw as part of oral processing of food
mastication
three type of muscle
skeletal
smooth
cardiac
describe skeletal muscle
attached to bone, moves skeleton
locomotion, respiration, generates heat by shivering
multinucleated somatic innervation (voluntary)
describe smooth muscle
GI tract and other organs, skin and most vessels
- moved ingesta, gland products and blood
Describe Cardiac Muscle
heart and great vessels
pumps arterial blood striated branched cells innervated by ANS (involuntary) Purkinje fibers corrdinate heartbeat
the force a muscle produces is related to the number of ___ active
muscle fibers
more active fibers = more force
muscles can only ___
pull
skeletal muscle cells are made up of bundle of ___
myofibrils
myofibrils are made of ___ and ___ in units called ____
thin (actin)
thick (myosin)
sarcomeres
when muscle contract ___ and ___ get closer together
myosin and actin
types of muscle fatigue
slow fatigue resistance
fast fatigue resistant
fast fatigue
(fast intermediate
example of slow fatigue resistant
migratory bird
slow contraction
- weak forces
- high resistance to fatigue
- maintain activity for long periods
- high oxidative enzyme, low glycoltic and ATPase
explain fast fatigue resistant
antelope running
fast contraction
force maintained over time
animal active for long periods
high oxidative and glycolytic capacity
explain fast fatigue
cheetah running
fast contraction
large forces, few contractions then needs rest
- high glycolytic activity and ATPase, low oxidative capacity
describe fast intermediate
catch all
- fast contraction but can maintain (some but not all) for an extended period
- fatigue resistance- varies between species
three type of contraction of muscle
concentric
eccentric
isometric
describe concentric contraction
shortens
load < muscle capacity
(bicep curl)
describe eccentric contraction
actively lengthens
load > capacity
- resists but lengthens
(lowering patient gently to floor)
describe isometric contraction
length remains constant
-angle unchanged
(carrying heavy box)
describe passive stretch
antagonist muscle working will pull (lengthen other muscle)
touch your toes
type of muscle fibers arrangments
strap
fusiform
pennate
circular
strap muscles
parallel fibers
fusiform muscles
converge at ends
(football shaped)
biceps
pennate muscles
fibers lie at angle to muscle axis
= more strength
unipennate- one tendon
bipennate- 2 tendons
multipennate- multiple internal tendons
