Lecture Exam 1 (part 1) Flashcards
Physiology
study of systems of the body
exercise
performing physical activity or work
Acute effect
short term / during exercise
Chronic effect
long term effect of exercise
Three types of muscles
smooth
cardiac
skeletal
Smooth muscle is under the control of this nervous system
autonomic nervous system
Smooth muscle is found in these areas of the body
internal organs circulatory system (assists in vasodialation)
Another name for cardiac muscle
myocardium
Cardiac muscle does this w/o stimulation
contracts rhythmically
Cardiac contraction originates here
Sinal-Atrial node
This is used to test cardiac muscle contractions
EKG
Cardiac contractions are depicted in this mannor
wave like pattern of stimulation
Heart rate is controlled by this nervous system
autonomic
Skeletal muscle is innervated by this
somatic nervous system
skeletal muscle is under this type of control
voluntary
These muscle types are striated
skeletal and cardiac
non-striated muscle =
smooth
Basic anatomy of a whole muscle from superficial to deep
Fascia Epimysium Parimysium fasciculus Endomysium Muscle fiber/cell
Basic anatomy of a muscle fiber from superficial to deep
Sarcolemma (cell membrane) Sarcoplasm (cytoplasm) Myofibrils Sarcomere myofilaments
Where is force lost during contraction
force is lost at each step of the anatomy of muscle
epimysium
connects to tendon
tendon
connects muscle to bone
fasciculus
bundles of muscle cells (few-100’s of fibers)
perimysium
connective tissue surrounding fasciculs
endomysium
connective tissue surrounding muscle fiber/cell
T/f: muscle fibers differ dramatically in size
T
range from 10 microns-100 microns in width
range from 1 mm length to full length of muscle
An example size of a large muscle fiber
size of a fine human hair
another name for muscle cell membrane
sarcolemma
sarco means
flesh
lemma means
membrane
sarcoplasm
liquid component of cell
myofibrils
column like structures in fiber
sarcomere
functional unit of myofibril
myofilaments
generic name for contractile proteins
What level of contraction is force produced at
myofilaments
Be able to draw/lable sarcomere structures
okay
