muscle (348) Flashcards
3 types of muscle tissues
- skeletal
- cardiac
- smooth
which types of muscle tissue is striated?
skeletal, cardiac
which type of tissue is involuntary?
cardiac
what special structure found in cardiac muscle tissue?
intercalated discs
which type of muscle is nonstraited?
smooth
organization of skeletal muscle
- muscle tissue
- CT
- nerves
- blood vessels
3 layers of CT within skeletal muscle
- epimysium
- perimysium
- endomysium
Epimysium
surrounds entire muscle
Perimysium
surrounds fascicles (bundles of fibers)
Endomysium
surrounds individual fibers
which structure in skeletal muscle fiber is the cell membrane of muscle fiber?
sarcolemma
which structure in skeletal muscle fiber transmits AP through fiber?
transverse tubules ( T tubules)
which structure in skeletal muscle fiber is the cytoplasm of fiber?
sarcoplasm
which structure in skeletal muscle fiber is the membranous structure surrounding each myofibril?
sarcoplasmic reticulum
which structure in skeletal muscle fiber attach SR to T tubules and concentrate Ca2+?
terminal cisternae
what does myofibrils made of?
myofilaments (thin and thick)
thin filament is ________
actin
thick filament is _________
myosin
what is the contractile units of muscle?
sarcomeres
which filament is A bands?
thick filaments
which filament is I bands?
thin filaments
2 components of thin filament
- tropomyosin
- troponin
what can tropomyosin do?
Blocks active site on G-actin
what can troponin do?
Binds tropomyosin to F-actin regulated by Ca2+
thick filament contain _________ strands that recoil after stretching
titin
Ca2+ bind to receptor on ________ molecule during cross bridge formation
troponin
exposure of active site of F-actin casue _______ to bind
myosin
events during sliding filament theory
- thin filament: move toward M line
- A zone: same length
- Z line: move closer together
what happen to Ca2+ during relaxation?
- concentration drop
- detaches from troponin
Rigor Mortis
A fixed muscular contraction after death
what caused rigor mortis?
Ion pumps cease to function
Tension produced by a fiber depends on:
- number of pivoting cross-bridges
- resting length at the time of stimulation
- The frequency of stimulation
A single neural stimulation produces a single
contraction =
twitch
wave summation?
Increasing tension or summation of twitches
Tension produced by entire muscle depends on:
- Internal tension produced by muscle fibers
- External tension exerted on elastic fibers
- Total number of muscle fibers stimulated
Multiple muscle fibers controlled by a single _____ _______
motor neuron (motor unit)
Recruitment
multiple motor unit summation
Muscle tone
The normal tension of a muscle at rest
Muscle Hypertrophy
- Increases diameter of muscle fibers (not number)
- Increases number of myofibrils
Muscle Atrophy
Lack of muscle activity -> Reduces muscle size, tone, and power
Muscle Fatigue
no longer perform a required activity
Muscle Performance
- force
- endurance
Force
tension produced during contraction
Endurance
amount of time an activity can be sustained
Skeletal muscles consist of a mixture of 3 fiber types:
- Slow oxidative (SO) fibers – Type I
- Fast oxidative (FO) fibers – Type IIa
- Fast glycolytic (FG) fibers – Type IIb
Slow oxidative (SO) fibers – Type I
Small, aerobic, fatigue resistant
Fast oxidative (FO) fibers – Type IIa
Intermediate
Fast glycolytic (FG) fibers – Type IIb
Large, anaerobic, only contract for short burst
