Skeletal Muscle Flashcards
skeletal muscles aka
striated muscle
skeletal muscle under what kind of control?
voluntary/muscle control
Skeletal Muscle Hierarchy (large to small)
Muscle, Fascicle, Muscle fibre, myofibril
muscle fibre aka
muscle cell
muscles
subdivided into bundles of fascicles
fascicles
each fascicle is made up of many muscle fibres
sarco means
flesh
transverse tubules
tiny invaginations tunnels (toothpick poke) travel from outside, towards centre of muscle fibre
sacroplasm
cytoplasm of a muscle cell
myoglobin
binds oxygen that’s diffused in muscle fibre and delivers to mitochondria (light chicken breast meat)
muscle fibres have multiple
nuculie
sarcoplasmic reticulum
fluid filled tubes & sacs running along and surrounding myofibri
myofibrils are held in place by
cytoskeletal proteins
sarcomere link end to end and make
myofibril
