Lecture 6 Test 3 Flashcards
Largest contributor to body weight and volume in non-obese people.
Skeletal muscle
What does skeletal muscle regulate?
Body temperature, glycogen, ions
What is glycogen (energy)?
Large chain of sugars (starch) broken down to glucose
40% of body mass; large container?
Skeletal muscles
Targets or effectors of the CNS
Skeletal muscles
Where is glycogen stored?
Liver and muscles
Bone-bone connection are held by
Ligaments
Muscle-bone connection
Tendons
Are all tendons muscle-bone connections?
Vast majority yes but some are intermediary (muscle-muscle)
Tendon bridge?
muscle-muscle
Group of (200) myofibril
Muscle cell/fiber
Group of muscle fibers/cells
Fasciculous; (Plural) Fasciculli
Group of fasciculli
Muscle
Group of muscle
Skeletal muscle
Contractile proteins
Actin/Myosin
Cylinders that contain actin/myosin
Myofibril
Stronger the muscle cell =
More myofibrils
What control precise control of muscle movements?
Weaker muscle cells
Functional unit of myofibrils; where thin and thick filaments can overlap
Sarcomere
Collection of muscle fibers and a motor neuron
Motor unit
How many muscle cells can 1 motor neuron control?
1 or more
small motor unit is useful for
-easy to excite
-Smaller fine motor control, tasks
How is the large motor unit activated?
-Usually starts off with small motor unit and if we need more strength, larger motor unit is activated
-Harder to excite more stimuli req
2 types of skeletal muscles
Type 1: Longer contractions
- (red) slow contractions, lots of myoglobin (iron containing), lots of mitochondria
Type 2: Fast twitch
- (white) fast contractions, less mitochondria, less myoglobin
Ex. of type 1 muscle: Fast twitch
Chicken breast flying from low hanging tree
Ex Type 2 muscle: Longer contractions
Geese flying 30,000 ft
goose/duck breast
Dark meat
