Structure Of Skeletal Muscle
Myofibre
Endomysium
Perimysium
Epimysium
sarcolemma
Skeletal muscle cells membrane
sarcoplasm
the cytoplasm of skeletal muscles cell.
Structure Of Muscle Fibre
Each myofibre is made up of
myofibrils
* Unit of contraction
* Actin – thin filaments
* Myosin – thick filaments
striped’ appearance
Slow twitch (Type 1)
Burn oxygen very efficiently
Fast twitch (Type 2)
Burn fuel anaerobically
ratchet mechanism
Muscle contraction: repeated pulling of the Actin over the myosin
Muscle Contraction Types
Isotonic = Tone
Isometric = Shortening the muscle
Smooth muscle
involuntary muscle
Antagonistic
pairing
Muscles that counteract
each other
Aponeurosis?
Broad sheet of tendon
Extrinsic muscles
Muscles that insert onto the axial skeleton
Intrinsic muscle
originates and inserts on same structure
Epaxial muscles
Dorsal to the transverse processes of the vertebrae
