muscle type with striated, mononuclear branching cells

A

Cardiac muscle

33
Q

separate cardiac muscle cells

A

Intercalated disc

34
Q

Myofilament structure

A

long chains of actin and myosin proteins (also troponin and tropomyosin)

35
Q

(muscle) polymer in thin filaments (2 strings wound in loose double helix)

A

Actin

36
Q

(muscle) spontaneous polymerization in thicker filaments

10x longer than actin

twisted pair of polypeptides

A

Myosin

37
Q

dark bands of stacked thick (myosin) filaments

A

A bands

38
Q

light bands of stacked thin (actin) filaments

A

I bands

39
Q

dark lines of dense material in the center of I bands; form anchors for thin filaments

A

Z lines

40
Q

lighter region in center of A band, where thin filaments are not present

A

H bands

41
Q

mechanism of contraction

A

Sliding filament

42
Q

Mechanism of contraction:

myosin “pulls” ______ in, reducing size of ____ and _____

A

myosin “pulls” actin in, reducing size of H bands and I bands

43
Q

organizational muscle unit of Z-I-A-H-A-I-Z

A

Sarcomere

44
Q

myosin heads (ATPases) “cock” heads and bind with actin to form cross-bridges

power stroke

myosin head binds to new ATP and releases from actin

A

Cross-bridge cycle in muscle contraction

45
Q

myosin head changes shape and pulls actin toward sarcomere center

A

Power stroke

46
Q

formed where nerve fiber embeds in muscle

A

Neuromuscular junction

47
Q

released by motor neuron at neuromuscular junction

stimulates electrochemical impulse that travels along muscle fiber membrane and opens Ca++ channels

A

Acetylcholine

48
Q

stimulated by acetylcholine; travels along muscle fiber membrane, opening Ca++ channels

A

Electrochemical impulse

49
Q

opened by electrochemical impulse caused by acetylcholine

located on muscle membranes; embedded in SR

A

Ca++ channels

50
Q

have Ca++ channels embedded in it

A

Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR

51
Q

SR wraps around myofibril

calcium pump actively transports Ca++ into SR, flooding its sarcoplasm

Ca++ and troponin move tropomyosin out of the way so myosin binds to actin

A

Effect of opening Ca++ channels

52
Q

located in SR, flooded with Ca++ when calcium channels open

A

Sarcoplasm

53
Q

bound to tropomyosin

this in addition to Ca++ move tropomyosin out of the way so myosin binds to actin

A

Troponin

54
Q

When does contraction end?

A

Ca++ pumped back into SR

55
Q

Ca++ is responsible for this

A

Excitation-contraction coupling

56
Q

covers myosin binding site on actin in resting muscle

A

Tropomyosin

57
Q

repetitive firing of motor neuron

increased stimulation rate (increased [Ca++], increased total contraction force, and smooth, forceful (individual) contractions)

A

Summation

58
Q

Summation increases the rate of stimulation, which leads to these effects

A

increased [Ca++]

increased total contraction force

smooth, forceful (individual) contractions

59
Q

In summation, ______ must be faster than individual ________

A

Neuron firing frequency must be faster than individual muscle twitch

60
Q

how fast muscle will contract and relax

A

Twitch

61
Q

maximum contraction value (smooth, sustained)

A

Tetanus

62
Q

multiple, larger motor units are activated to increase contraction force

A

63

64
Q

set of muscle fibers controlled by one neuron

A

Motor unit

65
Q

initiates impulse in cardiac muscle

A

Pacemaker

66
Q

Cardiac muscle have no ______ or ______

A

summation or tetanus

67
Q

2 myocardias in the heart: one for _____ and _____

A

One for 2 atria (receive blood)

One for 2 ventricles (pump blood to lungs and body)

68
Q

Characteristics of smooth muscle contraction:

A

Not organized in sarcomeres

Myosin molecules attached to dense bodies or muscle membrane

No SR

69
Q

Effects of no SR in smooth muscle contraction

A

Ca++ comes from extracellular space

Ca++ channels opened by automatic neurotransmitter activation

Ca++ binds to calmodulin, which activates MLCK to phosphorylate myosin heads and activate them

70
Q

Ca++ in sarcoplasm binds to this, which then activates MLCK

A

Calmodulin

71
Q

phosphorylates myosin heads, activating them; activated by Ca++/calmodulin combination

A

Myosin light chain kinase (MLCK)

72
Q

slightly movable

by cartilage

A

73
Q

Vertebral bones are an example of ____ joints
