Muscles Flashcards
Myo
Muscle
Sarco
Muscle cell
3 types of muscle
Smooth
Cardiac
Skeletal
Smooth muscle
Involuntary
No striations
Spindle shaped cells
Single nucleus
Cardiac Muscle
Involuntary
Striations
Intercalated disks
Single nucleus
Branching cells
Skeletal Muscle
Striated
Voluntary
Multiple nuclei
Attachments of skeletal muscles
Tendon
Aponeurosis
Tendon
CT bands
Connect muscle to bone
Aponeurosis
Broad sheets of CT
Attach muscle to bone or another muscle
OIA
Origin
Insertion
Action
Skeletal Muscle COntrations
Prime mover(agonist)
Antagonist
Synergist
Fixator
Prime mover(agonist)
Principal muscle that preforms the action
Antagonist
Muscle that opposes the action of the prime mover
Can smooth out movements
Synergist
Assists the prime mover
Fixator
Stabilizes joints during movements
Muscle fiber
Skeletal muscle cell; very long
Cylindrical
Multiple nuclei
Sarcolemma
Plasma membrane
Myofibrils
1000s in one fiber
Myofilaments
Proteins in myofibril
Contains actin and myosin
Sarcomere
Contractile unit
Myofilaments line up in the myofibril
Lay end to end in the myofibril
I band
Light band
Actin Myofilaments
Z-line in the middle
A-band
Dark bands
Myosin filaments
Overlapping actin Myofilaments
H-zone(only myosin)
M-line(myosin attaches)
Z line
Actin filaments attach
Middle of I-band
M line
Myosin filaments attach
Middle of a-band and h-zone
Sarcoplasm
Cytoplasm
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum(SR)
Stores calcium
T Tubules( Transverse tubules)
Extensions of sarcolemma
Close association w/SR
Fascicles
Groups of muscle fibers
Muscle
Multiple fascicles
Connective Tissue layers
Endomysium
Perimysium
Epimysium
Endomysium
Surrounds fibers
Perimysium
Surrounds fascicles
Epimysium
Surrounds entire muscle
Mechanism of Muscle Contraction
Sarcomere, action potential and neuromuscular junction
Cutaneous
Cutaneous trunci or Panniculus muscle
Muscles of the Head
Mastication
Tongue
Swallowing
Muscles of Mastication
Masseter
Temporalis
Digastricus
Masseter
Cheek
To close the mouth
