Muscular System (Laboratory) Flashcards
three muscles type that found in the body
cardiac muscle
skeletal muscle
smooth muscle
it has striations that usually has single nucleus. it is voluntary that found only in the heart
cardiac muscle
it has no striations and has single nucleus. it is voluntary and found mainly in the walls of hallow organs
smooth muscle
it is striated and it is multinucleated. it is voluntary, cells are surrounded and bundled by connective tissue
skeletal muscles
around single muscle fiber
endomysium
around a fascicle (bundle) of fibers
perimysium
covers the entire skeletal muscle
epimysium
on the outside of the epimysium
fascia
cord like structure
tendon
sheet like structure
aponeuroses
sites of muscles attachment
bones
cartilages
connective tissue
also called as “responsiveness”, the ability receive and respond a stimulus
irritability
ability to shorten when an adequate stimulus is received
contractility
the ability of muscle to stretch
extensibility
ability to recoil and resume their resting length after being stretched
elasticity
attachment to a movable bone
insertion
