Muscular System Flashcards
Non striated and involuntary muscles
Smooth muscles
Striated and voluntary muscles
Skeletal muscles
Striated and involuntary muscles
Cardiac muscles
The only mature muscle cell that can divide (limited)
Smooth muscle
What connects cardiac muscle dells together?
Intercalated discs
Middle layer of faschia that covers the fascicle.
Perimysium
Outermost layer of faschia which covers the muscle belly
Epimysium
Innermost faschia whicj covers muscle cells or fiber
Endomysium
Protein in thin filaments
Actin
Protein in thick filaments
Myosin
Endoplasmic reticulum of muscle fibers which acts as storage of calcium
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Dilated end sacks of SR
Terminal cisterns
These are mainly stored in liver and skeletal muscles
Glycogen
Proteins that binds to oxygen and is responsible for the red color of the muscle
Myoglobin
Largest protein of the body and is found in muscles
Titin
Functional or contractile unit of muscles; from z discs to another z discs
Sarcomere
Separares 1 sarcomere to another and are attachment sites for thin filaments
Z discs
Contains thick but no thin filaments
H zone
Passes in the middle of H zone
M line
Area where the thick and thin filamnet overlap
A band
Area where only the thin filaments and present
I band
Passes in the middle of light band
Z discs
Passes in the middle of dark band
M-line
Blocks the myosin binding sites in relax muscles
Tropomyosin
