muscular system Flashcards
types of muscle cells
cardiac- interclated discs, striated
skeletal- striated, multiple nuclei
smooth- spindle, single nucleus
insertion vs origen
insertion moves
origin doesnt move
movement of muscles
- flexor
- extensor
- adductor
- abductor
- etc
hypotrophy
-adipose/ muscle cells increase in size and amount
atrophy
-shrinking of cells after less usage
connective tissues in muscle
- epimysium (dense irregular)
- perimysium (dense irregular)
- endomysium (areolar)
function of muscles
- control volume of organs (maintain the opening and closings)
- movement
- posture
- joint stability
- contract to cause blood flow
- heat
process of muscle contraction
-axon terminal
ach in synaptic cleft
-ach creates action potential when reached the muscle
-ach is broken down
- action potention travels through the sarcolemma and t tubules
-action potential goes to the sarcoplasmic reticulum
-calcium is released to the tropinin
-actin binding site opens
-power stroke and actin connects with the myosin
-muscle contracts
-calcium leaves
-unlatch
-actin retracts
