Muscular Sustem Flashcards
Smooth Muscle
helps with digestion and nutrition collection in stomach and intestines. In the urinary system, it helps rid the body of toxins and works in electrolyte balance.
Fascia
provide support for surrounding tissues, help reduce friction, and play a supportive role for tissues and organs
Glycogen
helps regulate your blood glucose levels
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
plays an important role in determining whether muscle contraction occurs
cardiac muscle
responsible for keeping the heart pumping, and blood circulating around the body
sarcolemma
acts as a barrier between extracellular in intracellular
myoglobin
supplies oxygen to the cells in your muscles 
myofibril
Produces muscle contraction and relaxation
skeletal muscle
Enables humans to move and perform daily activities
sarcoplasm
Plays a critical role in muscle contraction
T tubule
Plays an important role in regulating cellular calcium concentration
myofilaments
Key molecular regulators of the contraction and lead to force production and motion
