Q

cardia muscle tissue

A

found only in the heart
timing of contractions controlled by pacemaker cells
aerobic metabolism
impossible to tetany
contractions are 10x longer than skeletal muscle

A

found lining organs
sphincters regulate movement
contracts are the longest

16
Q

fascia

A

surrounds every muscle and may form cordlike tendons beyon each muscle’s end

17
Q

aponeuroses

A

broad sheets of fibers that may attach to bones or to the coverings of other muscles

18
Q

epimysium

A

a layer of connective tissue that closely surrounds skeletal muscles

19
Q

perimysium

A

another layer that seperates muscle into small compartments

20
Q

muscle fasciulus

A

bundles of skeletal muscle cells inside perimysium compartments which are bound togeter by connective tissue

21
Q

endomysium

A

layers allow for independent movement

22
Q

skeletal muscle fiber

A

single cell that contracts and relaxes in response to stimulation

23
Q

sarcolemma

A

cell membrane surrounding each muscle fiber

24
Q

contraction of skeletal muscles

A

contract when organelles and molecules bind myosin to actin to cause a pulling action.

25
adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase
causes the breakdown of atp to both adenosine diphosphate and phosphate releasing energy
26
acetylcholine
the neurotransmitter that stimulates skeletal muscle to contract
27
muscle relaxation
occurs when calcium is actively transported back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum
28
recovery period
oxygen debt after exercise. heavy breathing until oxygen is supplied to the muscles
29
after exercise oxygen is required to...
metabolize lactic acid. replenish atp, phosphocreatine, and glycogen. pay back any oxygen that has been borrowed from hemoglobin and myoglobin
30
oxytocin
hormone that stimulates contraction of smooth uterine muscles
31
for an action potential to occur
a polarized cell is needed
32
action potential
a rapid, transient change in the electrical potential of a cell membrane, primarily in neurons and muscle cells, that serves as a fundamental unit of communication and signaling in the nervous system and other excitable tissues.
33
polarized cell
a cell at rest, waiting to react to a stimulus
