Muscular Tissue Flashcards
It is composed of cells that optimize the universal cell property of CONTRACTILITY.
Muscle Tissue
What are the THREE TYPES of Muscle Tissue?
- Skeletal Muscle
- Cardiac Muscle
- Smooth Muscle
It contains BUNDLES OF VERY LONG, MULTI-NUCLEATED CELLS with CROSS-STRIATIONS.
Skeletal Muscle
It has CROSS-STRIATIONS and is COMPOSED OF ELONGATED, often BRANCHED CELLS bound to one another at structures called INTERCALATED DISCS, which are unique to cardiac muscle.
Cardiac Muscle
It consists of collections of FUSIFORM CELLS, which LACK STRIATIONS, HAVE SLOW INVOLUNTARY CONTRACTION.
Smooth Muscle
It is the CYTOPLASM of muscle cells often called?
Sarcoplasm
It is the SMOOTH ER of muscle cells?
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
the MUSCLE CELL MEMBRANE and its external lamina are the?
Sarcolemma
The process of TISSUE GROWTH is characterized by INCREASED CELL VOLUME.
Hypertrophy
The process of TISSUE GROWTH by an INCREASED in the NUMBER OF CELLS.
Hyperplasia
It consists of MUSCLE FIBERS, which are LONG, CYLINDRICAL MULTINUCLEATED CELLS with diameters of 10-100 μm.
Skeletal Muscle
A SMALL POPULATION of RESERVEV PROGENITOR CELLS called muscle?
Satellite Cells
Organization of Skeletal Muscle
It is an EXTERNAL SHEATH of DENSE IRREGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE, that surrounds the entire muscle.
Epimysium
Organization of Skeletal Muscle
A THIN CONNECTIVE TISSUE LAYER that immediately surrounds each BUNDLE OF MUSCLE FIBERS termed a FASCICLE.
Perimysium
Organization of Skeletal Muscle
VERY THIN, DELICATE LAYER OF RETICULAR FIBERS, and SCATTERED FIBROBLASTS that enveloped individual muscle fiber.
Endomysium
All three layers plus the DENSE IRREGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE of the DEEP FASCIA, which overlies the epimysium, are continuous with the tough connective tissue of a tendon at what?
Which joins the muscle to the bone, skin, or another muscle.
Myotendinous Junctions
The sarcoplasm is HIGHLY ORGANIZED, CONTAINING PRIMARILY LONG CYLINDRICAL FILAMENTS BUNDLES called?
Myofibrils
The DARK BANDS on the MYOFIBRILS are called?
A bands
The LIGHT BANDS on the MYOFIBRILS are called?
I bands
The DARK TRANSVERSE LINE on the MYOFIBRILS is called?
Z discs
The A and I BANDING PATTERN in SARCOMERES is due mainly to the regular arrangement of thick and thin myofilaments, composed of?
Myosin and F-actin
It is a LARGE COMPLEX with TWO IDENTICAL HEAVY CHAINS and TWO PAIRS OF LIGHT CHAIN.
Myosin
