physiology (not finished) Flashcards
3 types of muscle tissues
skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle
skeletal muscle
usually attached to bones
striated
somatic nervous control
multinucleated
cardiac muscle
wall of heart
autonomic nervous control
uninucleated
striated
smooth msucle
walls of most viscera, blood vessels, and skin
not striated
autonomic
uninucleated
prime mover
primarily responsible for movement
synergists
assist prime mover
antagonist
resist prime movers actions and cause movement in opposite direction
epimysium
dense regular CT surrounding entire muscle
perimysium
fibrous CT surrounding fascicles (groups of muscle fibers)
endomysium
fine areolar CT surrounding each muscle fiber
components of skeletal muscle fiber
glycosomes, myofibrils, sacroplasmic reticulum, T tubules
myofibrils
densely packed, rod like elements with striations
80% of cell volume
z disc
proteins that anchor thin filaments
m line
proteins that hold thick filaments together
thin filmaments
consists of two strands of actin subunits twisted into a helix + two types of regulatory proteins
run length of I band and partway into A band
