Properties of muscle tissue
Elasticity , Excitability, Contractility
Striated voluntary muscle
Skeletal muscle
Striated involuntary muscle
Cardiac Muscle
lack striations, involuntary muscle
Smooth muscle
outer layer of dense irregular connective tissue surrounds entire skeletal muscle
Epimysium
surrounding each fassicle is a layer of connective tissue consisting of reticular connective tissue called..
Perimysium
fine sheath of connective tissue consisting of mostly reticular fibers
Endomysium
long rod shaped organelles called..
Myofibrils
a myofibril is composed of repeating segments thin and thick filaments called …
Sarcomeres
boundaries at the two ends of each sarcomere are called ..
z discs or z lines
attached to the z discs are many fine myofilaments called…
thick and thin filaments
central part of an A band is the ..
H zone
center of H zone that contains tinry rods of thick filaments ….
M line
springlike molecule in sarcomeres that resists overstretching
Titin
deep invaginations of the sarcolema that run between each pair of terminals , stimulate the release of calcium
T tubules ( transverse tubules)
point at which the nerve ending and fiber meet
nueromuscular junction
smooth ER whose interconnecting tubules surround each myofibril like the sleeve of a loosely crocheted sweater surrounds your arm.
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
thin filaments are composed of contractile protein called…
actin
regulatory proteins found in thin filaments …
Troponin, Tropomyosin
