Muscles Flashcards
types of muscles real quick
smooth, cardiac, skeletal
skeletal muscle allll membranes
outer to inner.. epimysium contains fascicles covered by perimysium which are made of muscle fibers surrounded by endomysium which is made of muscle cells. There are also nerves and blood vessels in the perimysium (fascicle wrapping).
2 types of skeletal muscles
slow twitch = type 1, more vascular, myoglobin, mitochondria, fatigue slowly.eg. dark meat. fast twitch = type 2, anaerobic energy (few mitochondria), rapid movement. eg. biceps, chicken breast, fish. Many muscles have both types of fiber.
the zones of sarcomere contraction
h zone - just myosin, I band - just actin, A band - where they overlap, (those change during contraction), m band - midline, z line - outside
heartbeat starts from..
sinoatrial node
neuron starts AP by..
releasing acetylcholine to muscle receptor
skeletal muscle cell features
multinucleate with peripheral nuclei, lots of mitochondria
syncytium
cell with lots of nuclei (result of fusion)
attachment sites of muscles
origin - proximal, stationary; insertion - distal, moves
head muscle origin
head paraxial mesoderm and rostral somites
smooth muscle origin
splanchnic mesoderm
skeletal muscle origin
lateral plate mesoderm
cardiac muscle traits
1 or 2 central nuclei, striated, branched (for density), lots of mitochondria. intercalated disks and gap junctions both connect cells so APs - small ions mostly - can move seamlessly. long APs = no tightening. have fasciae adherens to anchor actin and desmosomes to adhere to it
t tubule
transverse tubule, in muscle cell, conducts APs
path of AP in heart
sinoatrial node - atrioventricular node - purkinje fibers (bottom to top)
who can regenerate cardiac muscle
zebrafish and axolotls
smooth muscle is located..
lining gut, uterus, bladder, blood vessels, iris, and in a single cell layer in exocrine glands (myoepithelial tissue)
smooth muscle features
mononucleate, no striations, found in layers or in a layer of 1 cell, has gap junctions
epaxial muscles
dorsal section
hypaxial muscles
ventral section
muscle division evolution
agnathans - no division, teleosts - epaxial/hypaxial, epaxial splits in amphibians, more complex from then on
