Q

what are the 3 parts of a muscle fiber

A

endomysium –> connective tissue covering individual muscle fibers, inner most layer

perimysium–> connective tissue covering a group of fibers (fascicles), middle layer

epimysium –> connective tissue covering the entire muscle (deep fascia), outer layer

16
Q

pennate shape

A

feather shaped

ex: rectus femoris

can be bi-pennate

17
Q

fusiform shape

A

wider towards middle

narrow @ the ends

ex: biceps brachii

18
Q

parallel shape

A

all muscle fibers are parallel to each other

19
Q

convergent shape

A

fan shaped

wider @ one end and fibers converge at the other

ex: pec major

20
Q

circular shape

A

used to open and close

ex: eyes and mouth

21
Q

digastric shape

A

2 bellies connected by a tendon

22
Q

what are the characteristics of cardiac muscle

A

branching

interrelated discs

fused at the plasma membrane

found in the heart (forms most walls of the heart)

myocardium

involuntary

23
Q

what are the characteristics of smooth muscle

A

long

single nucleated

spindle shaped

found in hollow organs (wall of digestive tract)

found in the skin (makes hair stand up)

involuntary

24
Q

connective tissue

A

has 4 parts

-fibrous connective tissue

-connective cartilage

-bone

-blood cells

25
fibrous connective tissue
2 types (collagen and elastic) consists of loose fibrous connective tissue and dense fibrous connective tissue
26
loose fibrous connective tissue
has more cells and fewer fibers (adipose)
27
dense fibrous connective tissue
more closely packed fibers can be regular or irregular -regular --> tendons or ligaments -irregular --> fascia
28
connective cartilage
has 3 parts -hyaline (articular cartilage) -fibrocartilage -elastic cartilage
29
hyaline cartilage
smooth, glossy, bluish
30
fibrocartilage
white, contains many collagen fibers
31
elastic cartilage
yellowish, found in external ear
32
bone
type of connective tissue main supporting tissue of the body
33
what does bone provide
protection, support, mechanical basis of movement, storage for salts, continuous supply of blood cells
