108
Q

define retraction and protraction

A

retraction: pull shoulder back: rhombus
protraction: shoulders forward: serratus anterior

109
Q

What makes up skeletal muscle

A

muscle fibers

110
Q

What is a muscle fiber

A

cells contain thousand of myofibril

111
Q

what is a myofibril

A

cylinindrical in shape, run length of muscle fiber, has dark and light bands in striation

112
Q

What is a sarcomere

A

protein myofiliment with contractive units

113
Q

What does a sarcomere contain

A

2 types of myofilament protein: myosin( thick), actin( thin)

114
Q

How is length of sarcomere viewed

A

z line to z line

115
Q

What does a z line connect

A

parallel bands thin filament

116
Q

What does m line hold

A

hold thick filament together

117
Q

How does I band appear

A

appear light: only contain thin filament

118
Q

How does A band appear

A

appear dark: contain thin and thick filament: dark because of the thick fibers

119
Q

Where does z line move when muscle contract

A

muscle contract z line move closer together toward center of sarcomere M line

120
Q

how does nerve system work w/muscle for contraction

A
  1. nerve impulse sent to muscle fiber art neuromuscular junction
  2. acetylcholine released from motor nerve ending
  3. motor neuron binds to receptor on muscle cell, opens NA channel, allow Na to flow in sarcoplasm reticulum
  4. Na presence cause action potential in sarcolemma
  5. action potential cause Ca ion released from sarcoplasmic reticulum
  6. myosin filmanet attack to actin
  7. cross-bridge bend forward after attach and actin pulled along( ATP needed for myosin to pull actin)
  8. movement of many actin filament together= muscle contraction
121
Q

What happens at end of muscle contraction

A
  1. action ceases when no nerve impulse stimulate muscle fiber
  2. Ca ion pumped back into sarcoplasmic reticulum by active transport
  3. once Ca return to sarcoplasmic reticulum, relaxation of muscle occurs
