Muscle Tissue Histo Flashcards
cytoplasm of a muscle cell
Sarcoplasm
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum of a muscle cell
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Plasma Membrane or Plasmalemma of a muscle cell
Sarcolemma
Muscle Fiber or Myofiber
Muscle Cell
two or more primary tissues coming together form more complex tissue that preforms a complex function
Organ
Can be talked about in levels of cell, tissue, and as an organ
Muscles
Excitability (or Irritability)
Contractility
Extensibility
Elasticity
Characteristics of Muscle Tissue
Muscle tissue responds to stimulus by producing electrical signal
Excitability (or Irritability)
In a muscles cell the plasma membrane can produce a
action potential
Muscles contraction requires
ATP
Ability to return to original length after being shortened or stretched
Elasticity
Can be stretched, which is a passive process
Extensibility
Producing Movement Maintaining Posture Stabilizing Joints Generating Heat (i.e. Thermogenesis)
Functions of Muscle Tissue
Use of ATP is not efficient and produced heat, can be done by shivering
Generating Heat (i.e. Thermogenesis)
Muscle contraction that is under voluntary control
Skeletal muscle
Muscle contraction that is under involuntary control
Cardiac & Smooth muscle
Muscle contraction that is strong, quick contractions
Skeletal & cardiac muscle
Muscle tissue that is striated
Skeletal & cardiac muscle
Large, elongated, cylindrical, syncytial (multinucleated) cells
Skeletal muscle
Nuclei are at the periphery and are oval shaped
Skeletal muscle
Fusion of embryonic myoblasts (mesenchyme) creates characteristic ____ of ___ muscle cells
multinucleated, skeletal
Muscle cells that are uninucleated cells but can sometimes have a second nucleus
Cardiac muscle
Muscle cells that have centrally located nucleus
Cardiac and smooth
Elongated and branched cells joined by intercalated discs
Cardiac muscle cells
