25
Smooth muscle tissue
Nonstriated - involuntary
26
Inorganic compounds
Usually lack C - structurally simple - lack C-C or C-H covalent bonds
27
Major elements in body
Oxygen - carbon - hydrogen - nitrogen
28
Origin
Point of attachment that does not move when muscle contracts. Origin bone more stationary during contraction at a joint
29
Chemistry
Structure, arrangement, and composition of substances and interactions they undergo
30
Ionic bonds
Chemical bond formed by transfer of e- from one atom to another - when dissolved in water, atoms become ions
31
Mass
Amount of matter in any moment, which does not change
32
Hyrdogen bonds
Very weak bonds that result from unequal charge distribution on a molecule (polar molecules) - Water as a solid, liquid, or gas
33
Isotonic
Muscle length changes during contraction (concentric or eccentric)
34
Ion
Atom with an electrical charge because of unequal protons and neutrons - occurs during ionization or the gaining/losing of electrons
35
Electrons
Negatively charged and found in outer shells or electron clouds surround nucleus
36
Electron shell
Rings which contain certain amount of energy (e-) and determine if the atom is chemically reactive
37
Deep fascia
Around muscles, bones, and organs
38
Neutrons
Neutrally charged and found in nucleus
39
Circular muscles
Orbicular and sphincters - circle body openings - fascicles run in ring pattern - generate small amounts of ROM and force
40
Acids
Substances that release H+ in solution | >7 pH
41
Atomic number
Number of protons in nucleus - identifies the element
42
Synergist
Muscles that contract at the same time as the prime mover - facilitate prime mover actions so that the prime move produced a more effective movements and helps control unwanted movements
43
Mass number
Mass number = protons + neutrons
44
First class levers
L^____________Pv ^ F Not many in body
45
Fascia
Fibrous connective tissue found under the skin and sounding many deeper organs, including skeletal muscles and bones
46
Chemical bonds
Ionic, covalent, hydrogen bonds
47
Electrolytes
Substances that dissociate in solution to form ion (acids/bases/salts)
48
Nonpolar
No electric charge due to atom placement: oils and lipids
49

50
Second class levers
P^_____L^______ ^ F Controversy regarding presence in body
51
Exchange rxn

52
Colliod
Molecules become dispersen without settling out (blood plasma)
53
Eccentric
Still contracting as muscle lengthens
54
Lever
Any rigid bar free to turn about a fixed point (fulcrum)
55
Decomposition
AB — — — > A + B | Energy
56
Cardiac muscle tissue
Striated - involuntary
57
Convergent muscles
Fascicles radiate out like blades on a fan - fascicles run along the line of pull
58
Tendon sheath
Tube-like tunnel around tendon of muscle and lined with synovial membrane to reduce friction and enable mobility
59
Chemical run factors

60
Aponeuroses
Flat sheet of connective tissue which usually merges with the fibrous wrappings of another muscle (back, stomach, palm of hand)
61
Skeletal muscle tissue
Striated (alternating dark and light protein bands) - voluntary motion (even subconscious)
62
Isotopes
Same element, different amount of neutrons - different mass numbers, same atomic number
63
Covalent bonds
Bond formed by sharing of one or more pairs of electrons - most common chemical bonds in body - these compounds form most of the body’s structures - stronger than ionic bonds
64
Fusiform muscles
Fascicles that may be close to parallel in the center but converge to a tendon at one or both ends
65
Properties of water
Solvent - tends to dissociate ionic compounds - permits transport of essential matierials - high heat index (absorbs and gives up heat slowly)
66
Perimysium
Surrounds fascicles (bundles) together
67
Organic compounds
Generally defined as compounds composed of C-C and/or C-H covalent bonds - generally larger and more complex - biomolecules
68

Mixture of 2+ molecules (salt water)
69
Prime movers
Agonists - muscles that directly perform OR provide major force for a specific movement
70
4 components of lever systems
Rigid bar (bone) Fixed pivot or fulcrum (joint) Load or resistance that’s moved Force or pull (muscle contraction)
71
Anion
Negatively charged ion
72
Salts
Result from chemical interaction of acid and base - electrolyte compounds that dissociate in solution to form +/- charged ions that, when water is removed, form crystals
73
Concentric
Muscle shortens as contracts
74
Compound
2+ elements joined together
75
Weight
Force of gravity acting on matter, does change
76

Protons
Positively charged and found in nucleus
78
Molecule and compounds
Molecule- 2+ atoms of the same kind | Compound- 2+ different atoms
79
Muscle tissue properties
Electrical excitability (action potentials), contractility, extensibility (stretch), and elasticity ( return to original length)
80
_pH scale
Power of Hydrogen - Measure acidity and alkalinity of a solution - 7 is neutral
81
Muscle tissue function
Produces body movements - stabilizes body position - storing and moving of substances within the body (sphincters, diameter of blood vessels, and peristalsis) - generating heat (thermogenesis and shivering)
82
Atoms (3 subatomic particles)
Smallest units of matter - protons, neutrons, and electrons
83
Antagonists
Muscles that when contracting, directly oppose prime movers - relaxed or contracting minimally when prime mover is contracting - provide precision and control during contraction of prime movers
