muscles Flashcards
muscles
- skeletal
- smooth
- cardiac
skeletal muscle cells
- striated
- many muclei
- voluntary contraction
- usually attatched to bones by tendons
smooth muscle cells
- non-straited
- one nucleus
- involuntary contractions
- in the walls of internall organs
- responds to the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system
cardiac muscle cells
- striated
- one nucleus
- involuntary contractions
- in the walls of the heart
- stimulated by sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system
parasympathetic
- relaxation
- rest and digest
ex. produces tears
sympathetic
- fight or flight
muscle structure
muscle –> muscle fibre bundle –> muscle fibre –> myofibrils –> myofilaments
sacroplasm
- “cytoplasm of the muscle fibre”
- filled with Ca+ ions required for muscle contraction
myofibrils
FILAMENTS
- 5nm
- thin
- actin proteins like twisted
beads
MYOSIN PROTEINS
- 11nm
- bind to the filament with a
double head
bone –>tendon–>nerve–>muscle fibre–>sacroplasmic reticulum–>myofibril–>myofilaments
skeletal muscle arrangement
bone –>tendon–>nerve–>muscle fibre–>sacroplasmic reticulum–>myofibril–>myofilaments
renal artery
carry oxygenated blood from your heart to your kidneys
renal vein
carries deoxygenated blood from the kidney to the inferior vena cava
aorta
transports blood to the kidneys
inferior vena cava
collects deoxygenated blood.
kidney
remove waste products from the blood and produce urine
- filtration, reabsorption, secretion
ureter
carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder
urethra
allows urine to pass outside the body
urea
a less toxic waster from protein breakdown
