Q

When building muscle is it more likely to build the current muscle cells or synthesize new cells?

A

90% of the time the current muscle cells get bigger. 10% of the time new muscle cells are synthesized.

Q

sarcolemma

A

refers to the outer plasma membrane of the cell and it is excitatory because an action potential can run thru the sarcolemma.

Q

what is the purpose of the sarcoplasmic reticulum?

A

calcium pumps in the sarcoplasmic reticulum cause it to take up calcium ions from the sarcoplasm.

sartorius (lateral quad) and biceps brachii

18
Q

bipennate

A

rectus femoris (quad)

19
Q

unipennate muscle

A

extensor digitorum longus (near the tibia)

20
Q

characteristics of pennate muscles

A

tend to be composed of red fibers

21
Q

type I muscles (red twitch)

A 
Oxidative (aerobic)
High endurance
High myoglobin
Postural (anti-gravity)
Low force
22
Q

type II muscles (white twitch)

A

Glycolytic (anaerobic)
Low endurance
Low myoglobin
High force

Deep
Single joint
Postural
ie Brachialis, Soleus

A 
Type II fibers
Superficial
2-joints

        Gastrocnemius
25
Q

origin

A

Fixed attachment

26
Q

instertion

A

Mobile attachment

27
Q

nerve supply

A

Innervation

28
Q

action

A

Movement of affected joint(s)

29
Q

agonist

A

Prime mover

30
Q

antagonist

A

opposes the agonist. ex.) Tricep is the antagonist to the bicep.

31
Q

synergist

A

helps the agonist. ex.) The brachialis is the synergist to the bicep when doing curls

32
Q

stabilizer

A

muscles for posture, they allow for the smoothness of movements by supporting the joints during movements

33
Q

skeletal muscle

A

responsible for voluntary movements.cells appear striped because of the regular arrangement of sarcomeres. MULTINUCLEATED

34
Q

smooth muscle

A

usually long and spindle-shaped, and each cell has a single nucleus. the actin and myosin filaments are not as regularly arranged as they are in the skeletal and cardiac muscle.

35
Q

what do smooth muscles do and what controls them?

A

Controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Smooth muscle provide contractile force for most organs, moves food thru digestive system, empties bladder and controls flow of blood thru blood vessels.

36
Q

cardiac muscle

A

appears striated as does skeletal muscle because of the regular arrangement of actin and myosin filaments into sarcomeres. but they are much smaller and have only ONE nucleus.

37
Q

how are cardiac muscles arranged?

A

the cells interdigitate to form a meshwork that is resistant to tearing. cardiac muscles need to be strong to handle high pressures that occur while pumping blood.

38
Q

neuromuscular junction

A

connects the nervous system to the muscular system via synapses between efferent nerve fibers and muscle fibers, also known as muscle cells
