The muscle system Flashcards
endomysium
delicate connective tissue surrounding the muscle cell
fassicle
groups of adjacent cells
perimysium
tough membrane bounding fassicles
epimysium
course sheet of connective tissue bounds groups of fassicles/ perimysium bound cells
tendon
rope like attatchment fuses cells to bone’s perimysium
aponeurosis
flat connective tissue fusing into adjecent muscles connective tissueT
fascia
connective tissue superficial tendons, bones, and aponeurosis.
superficial fascia
between skin and muscle
deep fascia
between bones and muscles
prime mover
main muscle performing an action
synergists
assisting muscles
antagonists
contraction opposes prime movers movement
sarcolemma
muscle cell membrane. contains sarcolemma folds in ward forming t-tubules
sarcoplasm
muscle cell cytoplasm
sarcoplasmic reticulum
endoplasmic reticulum that pump out and store Calcium
