muscles / cellular repirtation Flashcards
what does the cardiac muscles do?
involuntary or volontary?
uninuclued or multinucleated
theyre the only ones that cover the heart
involuntary
multinucleated
what does the smooth muscles do?
involuntary or volontary?
uninuclued or multinucleated
theyre ones on glands, liver, blood vessels ect
involuntary
uninucleated
what does the skeletal muscles do?
involuntary or volontary?
uninuclued or multinucleated
Muscles for posture and movement. Attached to bones
voluntary
multinucleated
Flexor job in skeletal muscles
muscle that contracts to bend a joint
Extensor job in skeltal muscles
muscle that contracts to straighten a joint
when do skeletal muscles lengthen when relax? or contract?
when they relax
when do skeletal muscles shorten when they relax? or contract?
when they contract
whats a tendon
band of connective tissue that joins a muscle to a bone
whats a origin
muscle attaches to a stationary bone
whats a Insertion
muscle attaches to a moving bone
myofilamets 2 types
threads of contractile proteins (actin and myosin)
actin
pair of protein strands woven together that resembles a string of beads
myosin
myofilament has proteins molecules wound together
The myosin filaments have “heads” that stick out
whats the sliding fliament theory
(how muscles contract)
Actin filaments slide over the myosin filaments.
The Z line moves closer together (muscle contracts)
Knob – on the myosin filaments heads attach and detach as the actin then are drawn closer.
largest to smallest muscles
1) muscle
2) muscle fiber bundel
3) muscle fiber
4) myofibrils (has actin and myosin)
5) myofilaments
what does tropomyosin do
its around actin and prevents myosin from grabbing actin so muscles arnt always in full contraction
what does troponin do
regulator of muscle contraction and atin only activates actin when calcium
what des calcium do
Calcium triggers contraction by reaction with regulatory proteins in the absence of calcium prevent of actin and myosin = no contraction
