MUSCLE TISSUE Flashcards
give the functional characteristics of muscle tissue
- excitability or irritability
- contractility
- extensibility
- elasticity
the ability to receive and respond to
stimuli
Excitability, or irritability
the most important function of muscle tissue
contractility
– the ability to shorten forcibly
contractility
– the ability to be stretched or extended
extensibility
the ability to recoil and resume the original resting
length
elasticity
allow movement to happen, responsible for the locomotion, and movement of the body including the transfer of substances.
muscle tissue
give the 3 types of muscle tissue
cardiac, skeletal, smooth
____ muscles do branch, uninucleated, and striated
cardiac
shape of the cardiac muscle
cylindrical but shorter
the split are of cardiac muscle that forms a distance is called _____ which also represents the gap junction
intercalated discs
describe and indicate how many nuclei are there in cardiac muscle
one up to two nuclei located at the center
the 2 types of muscle tissue that are involuntary moving
cardiac and smooth muscle
_______ muscle cells run the full length of a
muscle
skeletal
a tyope of muscle tissue in which the striations are most visible
skeletal muscle
Muscle fiber is cylindrical but longer
skeletal muscle
long continuous muscle fibers. Multinucleated and is located peripherally
skeletal muscle
found in muscles associated with
the skeleton
skeletal muscle
also called visceral muscle
smooth muscle
describe the shape of the smooth muscle and its nuclei
smooth muscles are spindled-shaped and is uninucleated
two types of muscle tissues that are uninuclleated
smooth and cardiac muscle
nucleus is found at the thickest part of the cell - center
smooth muscle
can be found in walls of hollow organs,
i.e. stomach, intestine, uterus,
ureter
smooth muscle
Only muscle tissue type that is non-striated
smooth muscle
group of muscle fiber -
FASCICLE or BUNDLES
enclose the entire (dense irregular) fascicle
epimysium
surrounds the individual fascicle
perimysium
surrounds each muscle fibers
endomysium
surrounds each muscle fibers
endomysium
3 connective tissue that would enclosed muscle connective tissue covering
epimysium, perimysium, endomysium
myrofibrils are arranged in
parallel
Basic structural and functional unit of the muscle tissue
myofibril
two types of band
Dark A band and Light I band
Dark A band is also known as
anisotropic band
Light I band is also known as
Isotropic Band
They are responsible for striated
Dark A bond and Light I bond
small contractile unit found in myofibril
sarcomeres
Where can we find sarcomeres?
between the two Z-discs
Z disc is found in what band?
I band
