LOCOMOTION AND MOVEMENT Flashcards
Types of movement
Ameboid Ciliary Muscular
Ameboid movement also called
Pseudopodial movement
Pseudopodia formed by
Cytoplasmic streaming
Amoeboid movement is shown by (3)
Amoeba WBC Macrophage
Movement of viscous substances done by
ciliary movements
What part of the body is lined by cilia
Retrodictive and respiratory tract
Movement of spermatozoa, maintenance of water canal system in sponges and movement in euglena done by
Flagella
The locomotory structure of hydra
tentacles
locomotry structure of paramoecium
cilia
Importance of locomotion
searching for food a mate migration defense
Which germinal layer was muscles derived from
mesoderm
Structure of muscles
Muscle is a bundle of fascicle The fascicle is a bundle of muscle cells (myocyte) Muscle cells have myofibrils in them
How many muscles in human body
639
Muscles properties
Contractability Extensibility Excitability elasticity
How much % of body weight
40-50%
Sheath covering the muscles
Epimysium
Sheath of connective tissue covering fascicle
perimysium
Sheath covering muscle cells
endomysium
Types of muscle
Skeletal Visceral Cardiac
Muscle shape
Cylindrical Fusiform cylindrical
Muscle branching
Unbranched Unbranched Branched
Muscle blood supply (in decreasing order)
Cardiac > skeletal > visceral
Muscle Control
Voluntary Involuntary Involuntary
Innervated by
Cranial and spinal nerves ANS ANS
Intercalated disc
absent absent present
Striation
Prominent Not present Less prominent
Nucleation
multi uni uni
Mitochondria presence (decreasing order)
Cardiac > skeletal > visceral
Myoglobin presence
Abundant poor abundant
Contraction
fast slow rhythmic
Fatigue
Gets fatigued does not get fatigued does not get fatigued
Gap junctions presence
Absent Present in single unit muscle fiber and absent in multi unit Present
Anatomical unit of muscle
muscle fiber/cell
muscle fiber/cell plasma membrane is
sarcolemma
muscle fiber/cell cytoplasm
sarcoplasm
sarcolemma invaginates to form
T tubules or transverse tubules
1 myofibril consist of
2 types of myofilaments -thick myofilament (mostly myosin) -think myofilament (mostly actin)
The endoplasmic reticulum of muscle
sarcoplasmic reticulum
sarcoplasmic reticulum is
storehouse of Ca2+ ions
dark band of myofibril AKA
A- band (anisotropic band )
light band of myofibril AKA
I - band (isotropic band)
Center of A-band
H zone
H zone AKA
Hensens zone
Dark line passing through H zone
M line
Zone of partial overlap
O zone (overlap zone)
Line passing through I band
Z line
Z line AKA
krause membrane
Contractile unit of muscle
sarcomere
zone between 2 successive Z lines
sarcomere
sarcomere is …. (wrt myofibril)
the structural and functional unit of myofibril
Thick myofilament made of
polymerized protein called myosin
Monomeric protein of myosin is
meromyosin
Meromyosin divided into
Globular head with short arm
&
tail
Globular head + short arm is called
Heavy meromyosin (HMM)
Tail AKA
Light meromyosin (LMM)
globular head ACTS as an…..
ATPase enzyme (remember ACTS)
Head has binding site for
ATP and actin
thin myofilament made of
3 proteins : actin, tropomyosin and troponin
actin in 2 forms
G actin and F actin
globular and filamentous
G actin is
monomeric
F actin is
polymerized G actin, insoluble, double-helical
What causes polymerization of G actin to form F actin
Mg2+ ion
What blocks the binding site of actin
tropomyosin
Troponin is present
at regular intervals of tropomyosin
3 units of toponin
Troponin I
Troponin T
Troponin C
Troponin I function
inhibits actin myosin interaction
Troponin T function
binding site of tropomyosin
Troponin C function
Binds to Ca2+
a muscle fiber is under the control of
ONE NEURON
