18
ability of muscle cell to return to original length after being shortened or stretched
elasticity
19
these fibers have many mitochondria, lots of myoglobin & glycogen, use both oxidative metabolism & anaerobic glycolysis for E, adapted for rapid contractions and short bursts of activity
Type 2a- fast, intermediate oxidative-glycolytic
20
how is cross-bridge released?
ATP comes in and binds myosin
21
according to this, contraction occurs because globular heads on myosin attach to actin and slowly walk along actin fibers to produce tension. Actin is pulled to center of sarcomere and shortening of muscle occurs.
Sliding Filament Hypothesis
21
cardiac muscle diad is composed of...
a T tubule & 1 terminal cisterna
23
type of muscle under involuntary control, striated uninucleated cells with a centrally located nucleus- elongated and branches cells with intercalated discs
cardiac muscle
24
at the H zone, only ___ of myofilaments are found, no \_\_\_.
tails, no globular heads
25
Identify tissue type.
skeletal muscle
26
what happens to the following when contraction occurs? A band I band H zone Z discs
A band- stays same size I band- gets smaller, disappears H zone- gets smaller, disappears Z discs- pulled closer together
27
smooth ER in muscle cell
sarcoplasmic reticulum
27
plasma membrane in muscle cell
sarcolemma
28
Identify tissue type.
skeletal muscle
28
what causes release of Ca ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum?
action potential across sarcolemma
29
thin myofilament that has 1 end attached to Z disc, and other end extending into A band. It is the only filament present in the I band.
actin
30
a triad is composed of...
1 T tubule and 2 terminal cisterna
31
Identify.
Triad (1 T tubule & 2 terminal cisternae)
33
bisects the I band
Z disc
33
actin & myosin criss cross to form a latice in these cells
smooth muscle
34
Identify 1-2.
1. terminal cisternae 2. T tubule
36
why is smooth muscle non-striated?
actin/myosin line up differently
37
Identify the tissue type.
smooth muscle
39
these fibers have many mitochondria, lots of myoglobin, derive E primarily from aerobic oxidative phosphorylation of fatty acids, adapted for slow, continuous contractions
Type 1- slow, red oxidative
41
Identify the tissue type in cross-section here.
skeletal muscle
42
type of junctions found at intercalated discs?
gap junctions & adhesions junctions
43
in smooth muscle, outer layer is ___ & inner layer is \_\_\_
longitudinal circular
44
how does muscle contraction occur once Ca ions flood the cell?
Ca ions bind troponin (at TNC subunit). troponin changes shape so actin binding sites are exposed. myosin/actin form cross bridge and contraction happens
45
these fibers have fewer mitochondria and myoglobin but lots of glycogen, derive E from anaerobic glycolysis, adapted for rapid contractions but fatigue fast
type 2b- fast, white glycolytic
46
where is binding site for myosin located?
