micro muscle: anatomy and physiology Flashcards
how is motion generated?
skeletal muscles provide force for the motion to occur
what are the types of human muscle tissue
smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and skeletal muscle
what is smooth muscle
its a slow uniform contractions that is fatigue resistant
what is cardiac muscle
it is a self generating impulse that is very fatigue resistant
what tissues are cardiac muscles made of
both smooth and skeletal muscle tissue
what is skeletal muscle
it connects to bony segments via tendons and fatigues easily
what is striation
different amounts of overlapping of proteins
what is connective tissue
comprised of protein collagen surrounding muscle fibre bundles
what is a tendon
joins muscle to bones
what is fascia
a broad sheet of tendon
what is the breakdown of micro muscle anatomy
muscle, fascicle, muscle cell, myofibril, myofilaments
what are sacrolemma
cell membrane
what are sacroplasm
cytoplasm
what are sarcomere
functional unit
what are myofibrils
contain contractile proteins
