Muscle dt Flashcards
sac like regions of sarcoplasmic reticulum that contain calcium ions
terminal cisternae
plasma membrane of muscle cell
sarcolemma
a group of one T tubule lying between two adjacent terminal cisternae
triad
invaginations of the sarcolemma that project deep into the cell
T tubule
interconnecting tubules of endoplasmic reticulum that surround each myofibril
sarcoplasmic reticulum
contains the genetic material of the cell
nucleus
contains the contractile filaments within the skeletal muscle cell
myofibril
site of ATP synthesis; powerhouse of the cell
mitochondrion
the intracellular fuid in which the organelles are suspended and molecules and ions are dissoved
cytosol
alternative name for skeletal muscle cells
muscle cell or fiber
muscle smallest to larget
myofilament myofibral muscle fiber fascicle muscle
a thin filament in a myofibral
actin
thick filament in a myofibral
myosin
corresponds to the length of the thick filament
a band
contains only thin filaments and the width if the distance between adjacent thick filament
I band
