Muscles Flashcards
Calcium is stored in what part of muscle fiber
smooth ER
In smooth muscle, Ca++ binds to
CALMODULIN (no troponin)
muscle that aids the prime mover
synergist
lastissumus dorsi (agonist or antagonist)
antagonist (extension)
muscles have single or multiple nucleus
multinuclear
membrane that surrounds entire muscle
epimysium
what system controls the heart
ANS
irreversible atrophy
muscle turns to collagen
muscle that produces the most force during a particular joint action
agonsit (prime mover)
no motor neurons exist in cardiac, skeletal or smooth muscle
smooth muscle
how is smooth muscle controlled
ANS
cardiac muscle contracts via
SA node
shorter and thicker sarcomeres exist in (cardiac or skeletal)
cardiac muscle
pectoralis major (agonist or antagonist)
agonist (flexion)
what type of muscle does not have motor neuron innervation
cardiac muscle
an alternate source of energy used by the cardiac muscle in times of oxygen interruption
lactic acid
sarcomeres are not found in what muscle type
smooth
muscle myofilaments consist of
actin and myosin
one neuron + all muscle fibers it innervates
motor unit
membrane surrounds individual muscle fiber
endomysium
Motor unit can be defined as
of muscle cells controlled by 1 nerve cell
how does the cardiac muscle make ATP
oxygen
load is moved in what type of muscle contraction (isometric or isotonic)
isotonic
muscle that opposes the prime mover
antagonist
Part of muscle that conducts nerve signals (action potentials) into and excites sarcoplasmic reticulum
T-tubules in sarcolemma (cell membrane of muscle fiber)
enzyme activated by CALMODULIN
light chain myokinase
What muscle attachment is relatively mobile
insertion (typically distal)
extensors are located on what side of the body
dorsal (except knee)
light chain myokinase
phosphorylates myosin
Motor neurons innervate what type of muscles
skeletal muscles
sarcomeres in what muscle type (smooth, cardiac, skeletal)
skeletal and cardiac (NOT smooth)
L.M.N. muscle
skeletal; smooth (sometimes)
Fives ways to learn muscles
location shape direction (fibers) # heads (ceps) size
large motor unit is defined as
one neuron + many non-specific muscle cells
calcium contributes to what functions
muscle contraction
nerve conduction
heartbeat
clotting
bones
calcium is released from sarcoplasmic reticulum when
signal received action potential that travels down t-tubule
Rough ER is involved in the synthesis of
proteins
muscles push or pull or both
pull only
