Muscle Tissue W4 (intro and skeletal) Flashcards
What are there tree types of muscle
Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth
how do muscles move (broad three steps)
energy from hydrolysis of ATP
transfered into mechanical energy
resulting in movement
Three other names for muscle cells
Muscle fibres
Myofibres
Myocytes
Two ways we can classify muscles
Microscopic appearance
Innervation
Muscle classification: microscopic appearance
2types
Stripes
No stripes
What type of muscle has visible stripes under the microscope
Striated (cardiac and skeletal)
What type of muscle doesn’t have stripes under microscope
Smooth muscle
Muscle classification: innervation
2types
Voluntary
Involuntary
What muscles are voluntary
Skeletal
What muscles are involuntary (2)
Cardiac and smooth
Main interactions between muscle tissue and connective tissue (2)
Connective tissue delivers blood vessels nerves and lymphatics
Muscle cells generate force –> connective tissue transmits it
Primary functions of skeletal muscle (6)
- skeletal movement
- Maintains posture and body position
- supports soft tissue
- maintains body temperature
- guards body entrances and exits
- provides nutrient reserves
what type of muscle is skeletal muscle (2)
striated voluntary
what does the epimysium line
the whole muscle
what is the epimysium made of
dense irregular CT`
what does the perimysium line
facicles
that is the perimysium made of
dense irregular CT
what is a facicle
a group of muscle cells
what does the endomysium line
individual muscle cells
what is a tendon
the connective tissue that continues (without the muscle) to join to a bone
level of organisation of cconnective tissue found in muscle (from from small to large
endomysium
perimysium
