Muscular System
Identify the property of muscle:
The ability of muscle to shorten forcefully, or contract
Contractility
Identify the property of muscle:
The capacity of muscle to respond to a stimulus
Excitability
Identify the property of muscle:
The ability to be stretched beyond its normal resting length and still be able to contract
Extensibility
Identify the property of muscle:
The ability of the muscle to recoil to its original resting length after it has been stretched
Elasticity
Identify the type of muscle:
- attached to bones
- striated; transverse bands
- voluntary controlled
Skeletal
Identify the property of muscle:
- located in the heart
- striated
-involuntary controlled
Cardiac
Identify the property of muscle:
- located in blood vessels, hollow organs
- non - striated; visceral
Smooth
Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the
Epimysium
A skeletal muscle is subdivided into groups of muscle cells called
Fascicles
Each fascicle is surrounded by a connective tissue covering, termed the
Perimysium
Each skeletal muscle cell (fiber) is surrounded by a connective tissue
covering, termed the
Endomysium
- is a single cylindrical cell, with several nuclei located at
its periphery - range in length 1 cm to 30 cm and are generally 0.15mm in diameter
Muscle fiber
Another word for cell membrane that has many tubelike inward folds
Sarcolemma
In Sarcolemma this is the tubelike inward folds also known as transverse tubules
T tubules
The T tubules are associated with enlarged portions of smooth endoplasmic reticulum called the
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
The enlarged portions of of muscle fiber structure are called
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
T tubules connect the sarcolemma to the terminal cisternae to form a
Muscle triad
The sarcoplasmic reticulum has a relatively high concentration of ____ which plays a major role in muscle contraction
CA+2
- The cytoplasm of a muscle fiber is called the _____ which contains many bundles of protein filaments
Sarcoplasm
Bundles of protein filaments are called
Myofibrils
Myofibrils consist of the ____, -______, _______
Myofilaments, actin, and myosin
Is the basic structural and functional unit of a skeletal
muscle because it is the smallest portion of a skeletal muscle capable of contracting
Sarcomere
Form a network of protein fibers that both serve as an anchor for
actin myofilaments and separate one sarcomere from the next
