Muscle test Flashcards
Ligaments attach
bone to bone
Tendons attach
muscle to bone
One of the functions of muscle tissue
movement, contractions
Fascicles
individual bundles within each muscle
surrounded by perimysium
Striated skeletal muscle tissue
.
The function of calcium ions in skeletal muscle contraction is to
expos the myosin binding sites on actin filaments
What’s involved in muscle contraction
- shortening of sacromeres
- contraction
- pulling of muscle against its attachment
A motor unit is
the motor neuron and muscle fiber it controls
The muscle protein whose function is related to it’s golf club like shape is
myosin
myofibril
thick filaments made up of myosin, actin
striated
actin
globular protein with myosin binding cites
“pearls”
sarcolemma
cell membrane
myosin
globular cross bridges
“golf clubs”
perimysium
surrounds individual bundles (fascicles)
The pigment that stores oxygen in muscle cells is called
myoglobin
