Quiz 5 (final) Flashcards
C.T. that stitches one muscle to another
Fascia
Muscle to bone
Tendons
Thick fascia that connects one muscle to another end to end
Aponeurosis
Plasma membrane
Sarcolemma
Cytoplasm of muscle cell
Sarcoplasm
Fibers that cause muscles to contract
Myofibril
Contracting unit
Sarcomere
Something to do with muscles
Sarco
Thin filament
Actin
Thick filament
Myosin
Sliding filament mechanism of muscle contraction (4)
- ATP hydrolysis: gets cut
- Attachment: myosin attaches with actin
- Power Stroke: pulls
- Detachment: let’s go
If not present ATP can’t hydrolize
Calcium
Energy for muscle contractions
ATP
What ion triggers release of the neurotransmitter
Calcium
What is the neurotransmitter
Acetylcholine
Enzyme that breaks down Acetycholine after a short period of time
Acetylcholinesterase
Sources of muscle energy (4)
- Stored ATP
- Creatine phosphate
- Aerobic ATP production
- Anaerobic glucose use
Lack of oxygen in muscles makes this
Lactic acid
Oxygen debt; amount of oxygen repayment after exercise in skeletal muscles
EPOC
Only neurotransmitter that goes from nerves to muscles
Acetylcholine
Means oxygen
Aerobic
Lack of oxygen
Anaerobic
How fine it controls
Precision
One motor nerve plus all muscle cells it controls
Motor unit
Fewer muscle fibers per neuron (e.g. voice box and eyes)
High precision
Many muscle fibers per neuron (e.g. thigh muscles)
Low precision
Chronic painful disorder that affects fibrous C.T. of muscles, tendons and ligaments
Fibromyalgia
Enlargement of muscle fibers
Muscular hypertrophy
Increase in number of fibers
Muscular hyperplasia
Wasting away of muscles
Muscular atrophy
Fibrous scar tissue replacing muscle fibers
Muscular fibrosis
Contraction and relaxation of muscle cell
Twitch
Continued contractions
Tetanus
Pulling in more muscle cells to get more contraction and work
Recruitment
