skeletal muscle anatomy Flashcards
skeletal muscle: location
skeleton
skeletal muscle: cell structure
long thin striated
skeletal muscle: function
contraction for movement
skeletal muscle ; movement
skeletal muscle is voluntary
smooth muscle; location
hollow organs, BV walls, eyes, skin, ducts
smooth muscle; cell structure
flat single nuceli nonstriated
smooth muscle : function
digestion, nutrients , collect by contraction
smooth muscle: movement
smooth muscle are involuntary
cardiac muscle : location
heart
cardiac muscle: cell structure
wide branching
cardiac muscle : function
contraction of heart
cardiac muscle : movement
cardiac muscle is involuntary
epimysium
connective tissue sheath
perimysium
connective tissue sheath surrounding fascile
fascicle
10-100 muscle fibers (axons) bundled together
endomysium
thin layer of ecm surrounding fibers
tendon
attach muscle to bone
muscle fiber
long thin shaped cells
sarcolemma
plasma membrane of muscle fiber
sarcoplasm
cytoplasm of muscle fiber
transverse tubules
hollow inward extensions of sarcolemma surrounding myofibrils, filled ecf
sarcoplasmic reticulum
specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum of a muscle fiber storing calcium ions
terminal cisternae
enlarged regions of sacroplasmic reticulum where it contatcs t tubules
triad
a t tubule and 2 adjascent terminal cisternae in fiber
myofibril
long, cylinder organelle composed of muscle proteins
myofillament
muscle proteins that make up myofibril in fiber
sarcomere
basic muscle fiber unit
actin
thin filament consisting of many subunits, bind to myosin head to make filament
myosin
club shaped protein in fiber, cells are motille
troponin
2nd regulatory protein, holds tropomyosin in place
tropomyosin
long ropelike regulatory protein, covers active sites
titin
thinnest elastin fillament, stabilizes myofibril structure
I band
light region, thin, allows light to pass through
z line (disc)
dark line in I band, anchor, attachment point
a band
darker , block light , appear darker
h zone
slightly lighter middle
m line
dark line running through middle
zone of overlap
overlapping filaments, tension generated during muscle contraction
neuromuscular junction
where neuron communicates with fiber
axon terminal
knoblike structure at end of axon containing synaptic vessels with neurotransmitters
neurotransmitter/ach
chemical messenger produced by neurons communicating with target cells
synaptic cleft
small space between axon terminal of presynaptic neuron and target cell
motor end plate
contains receptors for ach
synaptic vesicle
mebrane enclosed in axon containing transmitters
