Muscle 1 Flashcards
Dense collagenous CT, surrounds entire muscle
epimysium
Collagenous CT that surrounds bundles of muscle fibers called fasicles
perimysium
sheath of CT composed of reticular fibers that surround individual muscle fibers
endomysium
external lamina (contains glycoproteins + collagen); binds myofiber via the dystroglycan containing complex
basal lamina
long, cylindrical, striated
multinucleated
myofibers
aligned in parallel
separated by mitochondria and SR
composed of filaments called myofilaments
myofibrils
forms an interconnected network of tubules
surrounds each myofibril
forms chambers called terminal cisternae on each side of T-tubule
stores Ca2+ when muscle at rest, releases when muscle stimulated
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
deep invaginations of the sarcolemma
perpendicular to the length of the myofiber
T-tubules
contains myosin and actin
powerstroke occurs here
Sacromere
Ca2+ attaches to…. to open up myosin binding site
troponin
myosin release from actin when….
ATP binds to the myosin head
power stroke occurs when….
ADP and Pi are released from the myosin head, giving energy for it to pull the actin
Which discs are brought together when sacromere is brought togethr
