Muscles test Flashcards
what are the three types of muscles?
skeletal, cardiac and smooth
what are the three functions?
movement, posture maintenance, and heat generation
skeletal=
locomotion
cardiac=
propels blood
smooth=
propels substances through organs (urine, food, baby)
posture maintenance- enable us to maintain an ______ or ______ position despite gravity
erect
seated
what is heat generation?
by-product of muscle metabolism
how do muscles attach to bones?
indirectly or directly
muscles attach indirectly by ______
tendons
muscles attach directly by fusing to the _____ _________
bone periosteum
muscles are supplied with ______ ______ that control its activity
nerve endings
muscles are supplied with blood vessels to supply…?
oxygen, glucose and remove wastes
skeletal muscles are wrapped in ____ for ________
CT
support
each ______ muscle group is a discrete (separate) _______ made up of many muscle _______.
skeletal
organ
fibers
muscle tissue are attached to _____ and are under ______ control
bones
voluntary
skeletal muscle cells are ______ and ________.
cylindrical
multinucleate
what do skeletal muscles cells contain?
myoglobin and myofibrils
what is myoglobin?
O2 binding protein that stores oxygen in cells
what are myofibrils?
rod-like structures that can contract
for skeletal muscle structures, nearly the entire volume of the ____ is filled with numerous, ______ ________ (muscle fibers) that ______.
cell
long myofibrils
contract
what are sacromeres?
long myofibrils that contract
myofibrils have 2 types of _______ _______
filament
proteins
what are two types of filament proteins?
actin and myosin
actin =
thin filament
myosin=
thick filament
nerve stimulus causes:
myosin to attach to actin. actin then slices towards the middle center of the sacromeres and contraction occurs
location=
indicates bone or body region
what are the 5 shapes/sizes?
trapezius, deltoid, minimus, Maximus, longus
trapezuis=
trapezoid
deltoid=
triangular
minimus=
small
Maximus=
large
