Muscles Flashcards
What are the connective tissue layers of a skeletal muscle?
- Epimysium - surrounds entire muscle
- Perimysium - surrounds fascicles
- Endomysium - surrounds individual cells
Band without myosin
L-band
Cytoplasm of a myocyte
Sarcoplasm
What is The Triad?
Where the T-Tubule meets with the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum on either side

How are the various connective tissue layers of the muscle connected to each other?
Fibers from the endomysium and perimysium are woven into each other.
All three come together at the end of the muscle to form a tendon or aponeurosis
Perimysium
- Surrounds muscle fascicles
- Connective tissue with collagin and elastic fibers
- Contains nervs and blood vessels
What are thick filaments made of?
A bunch of myosin
Z-line
Where the actin molecules are bound together
Muscle contraction where length changes
Isotonic
acetylcholine
flat sheet of connective tissue that connect flat sheets of muscle (abdominal)
Which neurotransmitter is used in the neuromuscular junction?
Acetylcholine (ACh)
Parts of a muscle twitch (over time)
Which two proteins make up myofibrils?
- Actin
- Myosin
Lable the things!
Treppe
Muscle gets stimulated quickly enough that the peak of the contraction phase keeps getting higher, but the muscle is allowed to fully relax inbetween twitches.
What is the part of the sarcomere where the thin and thick filaments overlap?
Crossbridge
