25
3 muscle fiber types
red, white, and intermediate
26
type I, slow twitch: high myoglobin content, numerous mitochondria with succinic dehydrogenase; fatigue resistant
red fibers
27
type II, fast twitch, lower myoglobin and mitochondria content than type I; have more stored glycogen; higher ATPase activity than Type I
white fibers
28
characteristics between type I and II
intermediate fibers
29
_ controls fiber type differentation
innervation
30
provide information of degree of muscle tension
stretch receptor
31
contain modified muscle fibers
intrafusal fibers
32
muscle spindles have
sensory receptors, intrafusal fibers, and neuron terminals in a fluid filled connective tissue capsule
33
intrafusal fibers may be
nuclear bag fibers (cluster of nuclei) or thin nuclear chain fibers
34
spindly may receive afferent sensory nerve fibers with 3 types of endings
annulospiral, flower spray, and y-efferents (fusimoter)
35
wind around intrafusal fibers
annulospiral
36
terminate in clusters
flower spray
37
y-efferents (fusimotor)
motor end plates formed near spindle poles
38
after muscle injury _ transcription factor in combination with HGF induces proliferation of
myoD | satellite cells
39
rigor mortis
calcium ions enter muscle cells upon death; once the ATP present is used up, the actin and myosin proteins will stay linked until decomposition
40
muscle atrophy is
decrease in muscle fiber size; the number of muscle fibers does not change
41
myofilaments have 4 main proteins
actin, tropomyosin, troponin, and myosin (all thin except myosin)
42
attachment point for thin filaments
Z-disk
43
thick myofilaments are only found in this band
A
44
thin myofilaments in this band attach to Z disk and extend into A band
I band
45
anchors actin filaments to the Z disk
alpha-actinin
46
helps bind myofibrils to each other; linked to each other by plectin
desmin
47
absent in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients
dystrophin
48
contains myosin (no heads) and creatine kinase
H band
49
region of myomesin linking with myosin
M line
50
A filament of _ is made of of globular actin monomers (G-actin)
actin (F-actin)
51
actin filaments in EM
F-actin
52
elongated protein dimer that lies in the grooves of the actin helix
tropomyosin
53
tropomyosin binds 3 tropoinin peptides named
T, I, and C
54
binds the Tn complex to tropomyosin
Tn-T
55
together with tropomyosin inhibits the binding of actin to myosin
Tn-I
56
calcium binding subunit: binding of Ca to this subunit releases the TnI-tropomyosin inhibition of actin activation of myosin ATPase
Tn-C
57
intermediate filament that encircles Z disk of each sarcomere
desmin
58
dystrophin
reinforces and stabilizes sarcolemma during contraction by linking cytoskeleton with ECM
59
mutations in genes for sarcoglycans; disrupts association of sacrolemma with ECM
sarcoglycanopathies (limb-girdle muscular dystrophies)
60
thick myofilaments of 300-400 _ molecules
myosin
61
both a globular enzyme and a fibrous structural protein
myosin
62
when proteolytically digested, each myosin heavy chain produces a globular head called _ and a rodlike alpha-helical tail termed _
heavy meromyosin | light meromyosin
63
each myosin head binds
2 molecules of light chains
64
when the membrane is depolarized and calcium released from the SR, calcium binds to the Tn-C leading to
exposes the myosin binding site on actin
65
when myosin binds to actin and ATP hydrolysis on myosin head occurs,
the myosin head flexes and the actin thin filaments are pulled into the A band
66
causes the release of the bond between actin and myosin
a new ATP molecule binding to the myosin head
67
type of muscle with a single nucleus per cell more centrally located
cardiac muscle
68
cardiac muscle fibers are composed of several cardiac muscle cells joined end to end by junctional zones called
intercalated disks (ID)
69
ID have a transverse portion containing _ and _ and a lateral portion with _
``` fasciae adherens and macula adherens (these bind adjacent cells together) gap junction (this ionically couples adjacent cells) ```
70
cardiac tissue does not regenerate, but instead it
forms a fibrous connective tissue scar
71
cardiac muscle is usually a _ instead of a triad
diad
72
while all calcium comes from SR for skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle gets calcium from the SR and
extracellular calcium
73
controls active transport of calcium into SR
phospholamban
74
amount and activity of phospholamban controlled by
thyroid hormone
75
shape of smooth muscle
spindle shaped
76
smooth muscle is under involuntary control of
sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
77
smooth muscle nucleus:
single central oval nucleus
78
smooth muscle cells are surrounded by a _
basal lamina
79
2 smooth muscle cells in contact may form
gap junctions
80
smooth muscle plasma membrane has numerous _ on the surface and cytoplasmic _ that contain alpha actinin
caveolae | dense bodies
81
single smooth muscle cells found around sweat, salivary, lacrimal, and mammary glands
myoepithelial cells of ectodermal origin
82
smooth muscle located in respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and reproductive tracts
mesodermal origin
83
smooth muscle located in the iris and ciliary body of the eye
ectodermal origin
84
smooth muscle does not contain
sarcomeres
85
smooth muscle is membrane associated and _ contain _, which is the functional equivalent of Z-disk
cytoplasmic dense bodies | alpha-actinin
86
smooth muscle cytoplasm has actin and tropomyosin but no
troponin
87
lots of _ filaments in smooth muscle that function as _
intermediate | links in cytoskeletal network between dense bodies
88
smooth muscle has _ heavy chains and _ light chains
2 | 4
89
if smooth muscle myosin is dephosphorylated it is
completely soluble
90
for smooth muscle contraction, when stimulated, calcium increases in cytoplasm and complexes with
calmodulin (calcium binding protein)
91
calcium-calmodulin complex activates
myosin light chain kinase, which phosphorylates myosin and allows it to interact with actin
92
myosin light chain kinase may be activated by cAMP
estrogen increases cAMP while progesterone decrease cAMP
