16
Q

Transverse Tubules (T-Tubules) Function

A

Conducts nerve impulse quickly from sacrolemma through muscle fiber

17
Q

Muscle fiber primarily composed of?

A

Myofibrils

18
Q

Myofibrils

A

Run the length of muscle, as long as muscle fiber

19
Q

Myofibril composed of?

A

Myofilaments

20
Q

Myofilaments

A

Need to run length of muscle. Protein filaments

21
Q

Thick Myofilaments name?

22
Q

Thick Myofilament

A

Each thick myofilament surrounded by six thin myofilaments

23
Q

Thin Myofilaments name??

24
Q

Light Bands Name

25
Q

I Band Components

A

Thin Myofilaments only
Thin doesn’t block light
Shortens when contracted

26
Q

Dark Bands Name

27
Q

A Bands Components

A

Thick and Thin Myofilaments
Can block more light
Doesn’t shorten

28
Q

Dark structure in the middle of an I Band?

29
Q

Z Disc

A

Dark structure in the middle of an I Band
Thin myofilaments attach
Doesnt Shortens when contracted

30
Q

H Zone

A

Lighter, Central Region in the Middle of A Band

Shortens when contracted

31
Q

What kind of filaments are in H Zone

A

Thick Myofilaments

32
Q

M Line

A

Dark Line in middle of H Zone

Doesnt Shortens when contracted

33
Q

What kind of Filaments attach to M Line

A

Thick Myofilaments

34
Q

Sacromere

A

Runs from Z Disc to Z Disc
Muscle will contract from one Z Dick to Another
Many Sacromeres along length of muscle fiber
Shortens when contracted

35
Q

Sliding Filament Model of Contraction

A

Thick and thin myofilaments slide over one another
When muscles contract, they begin to overlap
Sacromeres shorten, H Zones Narrow, I Bands Narrow

36
Q

Muscle Components from smallest subunits to the largest

A 
Myofilament
Myofibril
Muscle Fiber
Fascicle
Muscle
