Lecture 8: Skeletal Muscles Flashcards

1
Q

What are the three types of muscle tissue? Briefly explain similarities and differences

A
  • Skeletal Muscle: movement of bones, striated, voluntary\
  • Cardiac Muscle: located in the heart only, striated (branching), involuntary
  • Smooth Muscle: outside walls of viscera, no striations, involuntary

Q

Elaborate the process on how we move:

A

Skeletal muscle attaches to bones via tendons and pulls bone along the joint to produce movement.

Q

What is the classification tree for a typical skeletal muscle:

A
  1. Myofilaments: actin and myosin
  2. myofibers: Muscle cells
  3. Fascicles: Bundles of myofibers

Q

What are the 2 types of contraction: Name a scenario when this can occur:

A

Isometric Contraction: Tension = no change in muscle length (holding a baby)

Isotonic Contraction: Tension = change in muscle length (moving a baby up)

→ Concentric- muscle length decreases

→ Eccentric- muscle length increases

Q

What are the groupings for muscle coordination: Name one example

A

Agonist: Prime mover (contraction = movement) triceps brachii

Antagonist: Contraction opposes that of the agonist and allows for smoother movement : biceps brachii
