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
flexor carpi radialis
flexes and abducts
flexor carpi ulnaris
flexes and adducts wrist
extensor carpi radialis
extends and abducts writst
extensor carpi ulnaris
extends and adducts wrist
gluteus maxiumus
extends thigh at hip
gluteus medius
abducts thigh at hip
gracilis
adducts thigh, flexes leg
