Muscle Flashcards
skeletal muscle
strong, quick discontinous voluntary contraction, straited, nucleus are off to side
cardiac muscle
strong quick continous, involuntary contraction, striated, multinucleated, nuclei are centered at intercalated disks
smooth muscle
weak,slow involuntary contraction, not triated and nuclei are centered
myoblasts
come to gether and fuse from mesenchymal cells to produce myotube which mature to form muscle fiber
thin filament
made up of G actin and F actin in a double helix
troponin I
inhibitor covers up the actin sites
troponin T
binds actin
troponin C
interacts with calcium to help uncover the actin sites
thick filament
made up of heavy and light chains and myosin headsq
what is the Z disk made up of?
alpha actinin
what is the functional subunit of skeletal muscles
sarcomere
the smooth Er is called what in skeletal muscle
sarcoplasmic reticulum
where does the triad occur in skeletal muscle
AI junction
what is the neurotransmitter for skeletal muscle ?
acetocholine
around each muscle cells is ______________-. If we wrap 10-20 bundles of muscle this wrapping is called_________________________. The bundle is called ______________. The layer that wraps a bunch of fasicles is called ______________-
endomysium, perimysium, fasicle, epimysium
