252
what are the types of smooth muscle
visceral nonstriated involuntary
253
these cells are spindle shaped with one centrally located nucleus and no striations
smooth muscle cells
254
what muscles are responsible for involuntary movement. give an example of involuntary movement
smooth muscle. digestion.
255
what are the two types of smooth muscle
single unit/visceral smooth | multiunit smooth
256
this type of smooth muscle is found in sheets and forms the walls of many hollow organs such as intestines and contractions occur in waves called peristalsis with the whole muscle acting as one unit
single unit smooth
257
this type of smooth muscle is found as individual fibers, and the fibers are activated individually by the autonomic nervous system such as the arrector of the hair, eye muscles
multiunit smooth
258
this muscle (myocardium) is involuntary, striated cells that branch to form a network. they are joined by intercalated discs, which aid in conduction of the nervous impulse to coordinate contraction
cardiac muscle
259
what does the all-or-none principle in regards to muscle fibers state?
all - or - none principle states that muscle fibers either contract to their fullest or not at all
260
contraction of skeletal muscle by mechanism is described in the sliding filament theory. what are those steps from beginning to end?
1. a nerve impulse travels down a motor nerve axon 2. Acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft, transmitting the impulse to the sarcolemma 3. Impulse is conducted into the T tubules and to the sarcoplasmic reticulum 4. Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum 5. Calcium binds to troponin, which causes a change in the conformation of tropomyosin 6. this change exposes the myosin binding sites on the actin 7. ATP is hydrolyzed, providing the energy required for contraction 8. Myosin binds to actin, forming cross-bridges 9. Myosin shortens, brings Z bands closer together 9a. cross-bridges detach, move, and reattach 9b. myosin continues to attach, pull and detach, which moves the actin toward the center of the sarcomere during this active phase of muscle contraction 10. when the nerve impulse stops, calcium is actively transported back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and muscle relaxes; energy is also required for relaxation
