Muscle Tissue Flashcards
what is the function of muscle?
give movement, produce heat, gives shape, maintain posture, support other structures, regulate s organ volume
what is the name of muscle cells>
muscle fibers
what is epimysium?
surrounds entire muscle?
what are muscles a bundle of? surrounded by?
fascles, perimysium
within a fascle there are bundles of?
muscle fibers/muscle cells
what surrounds muscle fibers?
endomysium
what is the membrane of the muscle cell called?
sarcolemma
invagination of sarcolemma are called?
T tubules
sarcolemma is largely filled with?
myofibrils
what are glycogen?
energy storer of glucose
what are myoglobin?
oxygen
what stores Ca++?
sarcoplasmic reticulum
what are myofibrils?
sacs of sarcomers; used for contraction
what are sarcomers?
regions between z discs, filled with thick and thin myofilaments
which myofilament are thin?
I bands - light
which myofilament are thick?
A bands - dark
what types of muscle proteins are there?
contracting protein, regulatory protein and structural proten
what is contracting protein?
myosin, actin
what is regulatory protein?
troponin, ropomyosin
what is structural protein?
titin
what is thick filament?
myosin, held by m-line - doesnt move
what is thin filament?
actin, troponin, tropomyosin held by z disc
when muscle is relaxed what happens?
myosin binding sites on actin is covered by tropomyosin supported by troponin
what does titin protein do?
hold thick filament to z disc and m line
