Q

main function of skeletal muscle

A

to move bone
Stabilize joints
Produce heat

16

epimysium

A

dense fibrous connective tissue

17
Q

perimysium

A

dense irregular connective tissue

18
Q

Endomysium

A

areolar connective tissue

19
Q

Aponeurosi

A

holding muscle to muscle

20
Q

Muscle origin

A

Attachment site to the bone where it is stationary

21
Q

Muscle insertion

A

muscle attaches to bone that is going to move

22
Q

Catabolize

A

big to small generates heat

23
Q

Conductivity

A

The property of muscle tissue that allows an impulse to travel down the entire length of the cell membrane

24
Q

Botulinum toxin (botox)

A

paralysis muscles, blocks the ACh synaptic vesicle

25
Q

Myoglobin

A

supports oxygen in muscles, makes muscle fibers red

26
Q

Slow twitch muscle fibers

A

aerobic, steady power, endurance

27
Q

Fast twitch fibers

A

anaerobic, explosive powers, fatigues easily

28
Q

Slow oxidative fibers

A

use the most oxygen, use ATP slowly (trunk and lower limbs)

29
Q

Fast oxidative fibers

A

less myoglobin, use atp quickly

30
Q

Fast glycolytic fibers

A

white fibers, not a lot of ability to use ATP- use it really fast (upper limbs)

31
Q

Compartment syndrome

A

adductor swells, compressed nerves and blood vessels
Fascia needs to be cut to release muscle and swelling
