Muscle Test Chapter 10 Flashcards
tissue surrounding the entire muscle that separates it from other muscles or bone.
Fasciae
tissue around the entire muscle (directly connected)
Epimysium
tissue surrounding the individual fascicles
Perimysium
tissue surrounding the individual muscle fibers
Endomysium
adult stem cells, repair damaged muscle cells
Satellite Cells
embryonic stem cells that form all muscle cells
Myoblast
the muscle cell membrane
Sarcolemma
the muscle cell cytoplasm
Sarcoplasm
the muscle cells endoplasmic reticulum
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
run perpindicular to the SR to carry materials fiber to fiber
Transverse Tubules
subunits of a muscle fiber
Myofibrils
sub units of a myofibril
Myofilaments
thin, light in color, move, create the I band
Actin
thick, dark in color, do not move, create the A band
Myosin
one segment of a muscle fiber
Sacromere
What does the Sacromere contain?
- Actin
- Myosin
- Supporting Proteins
- Regulating Proteins
hold myofilaments in place
Supporting Proteins
control contraction of myofilaments
Regulating Proteins
made up of myosin filaments, thick and dark, do not move
A Bands
made up of actin filaments, light and thin, do move
I Bands
middle of the myosin filaments
M Line
area where the I band and A band both occur/overlap
Zone of Overlap
middle of the I bands, start of new sacromeres
Z-Lines
the idea that states that myosin heads pull on actin in a ratcheting pattern.
Ratchet Theory
What are four changes that take place in the Ratchet Theory?
- I band gets smaller
- Overlap zone gets bigger
- Z lines get closer together
- A band remains the same
area where nerves connect to muscle fibers
Neuromuscular Junction
neurons that connect to muscles
Motor Neurons
the gap between a nerve and a fiber
Synapse
the last part of the motor neuron in the neuromuscular junction
Synaptic Terminal
the part of the muscle in the neuromuscular junction area
Motor End Plate
the amount of stimulus needed to release a neurotransmitter
Action Potential
a neurotransmitter that causes Na+ ions to enter the fiber
ACh
cause Ca+ ions to be released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Na+
