Muscle Tissue Flashcards
True or False: muscle tissue has cellularity (more cells than matrix)
True
Muscle tissue cells contain what 2 contractile proteins?
actin and myosin
Muscle tissue has high vascularity so it has a high demands for what?
oxygen, glucose, water, and waste removal
Muscle tissue has a tremendous relationship with what?
the nervous system
Muscle tissue cells are lifelong and in permanent what?
Growth Arrest (Go)
What are the three types of muscle?
skeletal, cardiac, and smooth
Is Skeletal muscle voluntary or involuntary?
voluntary
Long, lots of nuclei, and lots of mitochondria describe what muscle tissue?
skeletal
This muscle tissue only has 1 nuclei
cardiac
This muscle tissue is self-contracting
cardiac
Cardiac muscle uses these as fuel
free fatty acids (FFA)
Smooth muscle tissue forms what?
walls of hollow organs, medium and large blood vessels, and bronchiole tubes
Gap junctions in cardiac muscle form what?
intercalcated disks
Is smooth muscle voluntary or involuntary?
involuntary- sensitive to nerve stimulation and hormones
This tissue is very strong and can hold a contraction layer than skeletal?
smooth muscle
