Muscles (exam 2) Flashcards
Skeletal muscle
-striated
-voluntary movement
Cardiac muscle
-branched fibers
-intercalated discs
-involuntary
Smooth muscle
-spindle-shaped
-involuntary
-found around hollow organs
Epimysium
-outer layer of the muscle
Perimysium
-sheathed muscle fibers wrapped in a coarse membrane
Endomysium
sheathed muscle around a single fiber
Tendons
connect unlike things (bone to muscle)
Ligaments
connecting like things (bone to bone or muscle to muscle)
Sarcolemma
plasma membrane of a muscle cell
Sarcoplasm
cytoplasm of a muscle cell
***Sarcoplasmic reticulum
calcium storage
Myofibrils
Myosin makes up thick filaments and actin makes up thin filaments (contractile proteins)
Tropomyosin and troponin
regulatory proteins
Ach
acetylcholine
Sarcomeres
basic unit of striated muscle tissue
extends from one Z line to the next
made of overlying thick and thin filaments
I bands
-made up of actin filaments
-connected to the Z line
A bands/ dark bands
-overlapping of thick and thin filaments
H zone
only contains myosin
found in the middle of A bands
