18
Q

Aponeurosis

A

Broad sheet at end of muscles, anchor to bone

19
Q

Cytoplasm of a muscle cell is called

A

Sarcoplasm

20
Q

Myogobin

A

Large amounts in muscle cells
Important protein in storage of oxygen

21
Q

Plasma Membrane of a muscle cell is called

A

Sarcolemma

22
Q

Transverse Tubules (T tubules)

A

Invaginations of the sarcolemma that extend deep into the sarcoplasm at right angles to cells surface
Allow electrical impulses generated at the surface to travel into the cell’s interior

23
Q

Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR)

A

Similar to smooth ER of other cells
Forms tubular network surrounding each myofibril
Membrane contains ion pumps that move Calcium from cytosols into the ER

24
Q

Calsequestrin

A

Protein located in the SR that calcium ions bind to

25
Q

Triad

A

One T-Tubule that has a terminal cisterna on either side

26
Q

Terminal Cisterna

A

Tubules of SR that are enlarged and form chambers to store calcium ions

27
Q

Sarcomere

A

Functional/contractile unit of skeletal muscle
Resting length of about 2 um
Composed of specific arrangements of myofilaments of actin and myosin

28
Q

A Band

A

Dense region of sarcomere that contains overlapping thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments

29
Q

I Band

A

Either side of A band
Only contains thin filaments (actin)

30
Q

H Band

A

In the middle of the A- Band
Only contains Thick filaments (myosin)

31
Q

M Line

A

Located in Middle of H band
Anchors central portion of each thick filament

32
Q

Z Lines

A

Mark Boundary between adjacent sarcomeres

33
Q

Actinins

A

Located in Z line
Proteins
Anchor thin filaments of adjacent sarcomeres

34
Q

Numbers 1-5

A

1 - Muscle Fiber Nucleus
2 - Motor Neuron Axon
3 - Axon Branches
4 - Motor Neuron Endplate
5 - Myofibril of muscle fiber

35
Q

Numbers 6-10

A

6 Synaptic Cleft

7 Folded Sarcolemma

8 Acetylcholine

9 Mitochondria

10 Synaptic Vesicles

36
Q

Thin Filaments of Actin are composed of

A

F-Actin Filamentous Actin

G-Actin Globular Actin

Nebulin

Tropomyosin

Troponin

37
Q

F-Actin

A

Filamentous - Twisted strand composed of two rows of 300-400 individual molecules of G-Actin

38
Q

G-Actin

A

Globular

Rounded, compact molecule of protein that possesses an active site where one myosin molecule can bind

39
Q

Nebulin

A

Long strand of protein that extends along the F-Actin strand in the cleft between the rows of G-Actin molecules

Helps stabilize the F-Actin strands

40
Q

Tropomyosin

A

Double-stranded protein that covers over the active sites of the G-Actin in a resting muscle. Prevents interaction of actin and myosin

41
Q

Troponin

A

Three globular subunits, strategically placed along tropomyosin

42
Q

Action of Calcium biding to Troponin

A

Troponin changes shape which causes tropomyosin to swivel, revealing active site on G-Actin so myosin and actin can form a cross bridge

43
Q

Myosin

A

Myosin Molecules - pair of myosin subunits twisted around each other

Tail portion connected to a free head portion

Tail and Free head connected by hinge that allows head to swivel

Single filament has about 300 molecules twisted together - tails point to M Line, heads arranged in a spiral facing the thin filaments

At core is a thick elastic filament of Tintin which recoils after stretching

44
Q

Synaptic Terminals

A

Axon of each motor neuron branches to form numerous cellular extensions
