Muscular System Flashcards
Skeletal
Striated, one long continuous fibers and moves out skeleton
Cardiac
Striated, darker lines called intercalated disks and has branches like a tree. Moves your heart
Smooth
Non striated, GI tract, and intestines when you eat. One big tube of smooth muscle moving food.
What is common between skeletal cardiac and smooth?
They move things and they generate heat to contract ATP from the mitochondria
Metabolism
Signalling via Myokines and touching far distant tissues.
Mature myocytes
Helps repair muscle after being torn
Satellite cells
Used for repair
Neurons
Messages from axons to contract
Myocytes
Muscle fibers
Schwann cells
Another type of neuronal cells for support and increase speed of signal
Adipocytes
Fat cells in our muscles provides energy and cushion for protection for muscles to contract.
Fibroblasts
Produce collagen and fiber in connective tissues
Immune cells
Everywhere in the body, smooth muscle cells, vascularization from blood oxygen nutrition where blood vessel have smooth muscle layers
Endothelial cells
Deeps layer is the epithelial. Forms a single cell layer that lines all blood vessels and regulates exchanges between the bloodstream and surrounding tissues
Blood cells and hematopoietic stem cells
Are just pre blood cells and blood cells within that
