Muscles Flashcards
what are the three types of muscles?
skeletal, smooth organ ones, and cardiac
can muscles only pull
yes they only pull in and out
what is myofibrils
its a bundle around the other bundles
what are thin filaments and thick filaments
thin filaments are consist of two strands of actin
and one strand of regulatory protein while thick filaments are being staggered arrays of
myosin molecules
what are parts of the sliding filament model
the sarcomere and z lines
what is the sliding-filament model
the sliding-filament model is filaments slide past each other longitudinally,
producing more overlap between thin and thick
filaments
how does contraction work (with bad analogy)
the myosin head is going back and forth between contracted and relaxed states due to atp and wants to be with the thick filaments so but its being blocked by troopsin and tropsion and when Ca+ comes in it moves so mysosin can with there love
dissorders
ASL interferes withe excitation of the fibres this is usually fatal, Myasthenia gravis is autoimmune that attacks the attacks acetylcholine receptors, tetanus the constant painful contraction of muscles
