26
A decline in calcium binding you result in what?

27
Which type of muscle fiber uses aerobic metabolism
Type 1
28
Which muscle fiber is bigger?
Type 2
29
What are the types of muscle? Where are they ?
Cardiac- heart Smooth- digestive tract blood vessels Skeletal- everywhere else
30
What are the functions of skeletal muscle ?
``` Movement Posture and position Support soft tissue Guard entrances and exits Heat Store nutrient ```
31
Epimysium
Outer layer | Made of collagen fibers that connect to fascia
32
Perimysium
Divide muscles into compartments Made of collagen and elastic fibers Contain blood vessels and nerves
33
Endomysium
Surround muscle fibers | Contain capillaries, myosatalite cells and nerves
34
Tendons
Made up of the connection of all layers | Attach muscle to bone
35
Aponeurosis
Made up of all 3 layers | Attach muscle to bone as well as muscle to muscle
36
Sarcolema
Cell membrane
37
Sarcoplasm
Cytoplasm
38
Transverse tubules
Form passageways through muscle fibers that allow the action potential to travel
39
Myofibrils
Cylinder runs through fiber Surrounded by t tubules Bundles of actin and myosin Responsible for muscle contraction
40
Characteristics of Actin
Thin filament Has active sites for myosin heads to grab on to At rest the active site is covered with Tropomyosin held in place Troponin
41
Characteristics of Myosin
Thick filament | Had a hydrophobic and a hydraphilic head
42
Characteristics of the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Specialized form of smooth ER | Forms tubular met work around fibril
43
Cisternae
Expanded chamber of SR contain high concentrations of calcium
44
Sarcomere
Smallest functional unit of muscle fiber | responsible for muscle contraction
45
Explain the steps in the sliding filament theory
1. During contraction actin side toward center along myosin 2. Myosin head binds to active site to form cross bridge 3. After bridge is formed it pivots toward the center of the Sarcomere 4. Detaches and repeats
46
What are the functions of the nervous system ?
Monitor the internal and external environment Integrated sensory info Coordinates voluntary and involuntary response
47
What are the 2 anatomical divisions of the nervous system?
Central nervous system | Peripheral nervous system
48
Central nervous system
Brain and spinal cord
49
Peripheral nervous system
Communication with rest of body via afferent and efferent
50
Afferent
Sensory info from CNS
51
Efferent
Motor info from CNS to muscles and glands
52
Axon hillock
Area where action potential begins
53
Axon
Extension of a neuron that conducts action potential
54
Cell body
Contains nucleus and organelles
55
Synaptic terminals
Where neuron communicates with other cells
56
Nucleus
Contains rna and dna for protein synthesis
57
Nucleolus
Site of rna synthesis
58
Dendrites
Receive incoming sensory signals from the other cells
59
Collateral
Branch off of axon that will ultimately end in synaptic terminals
60
Nissl bodies
Clusters of rough er and ribosomes account for color of grey matter
61
What are the three structural classes of neurons ?
Multipolar Unipolar Bipolar
62
Multipolar
Most common | Several dendrites and 1 axon
63
