Muscular Flashcards
Connective tissue sheath
Epimysium
Visible bundles
Muscle fascicles
separates fascicles from each other
Perimysium
loose connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fibers
Endomysium
cell membrane of the muscle fibers
sarcolemma
Cytoplasm of muscle fiber
Sarcoplasm
bundles of protein filaments on each muscle fibers
myofibrils
basic structural and functional unit of skeletal system
sarcomeres
Stimulate muscle to contract
motor neurons
General term of neuromuscular
synapse
Shorten forcefully of contract
Contractility
respond to a stimulus
Excitability
Stretched to their normal resting length and beyond to a limited degree
Extensibility
to recoil after they have been stretched
Elasticity
can be seen in the muscle under the microscope
transverse bands
Epimysium is also called
muscular fascia
highly organized smooth endoplasmic reticulum
sarcoplasmic reticulum
light staining band of sarcomere
I band
dark staining band of sarcomere
A band
is the center of each A band
H zone
