Animal 8 Flashcards
(25 cards)
skeleton of fluid held under pressure in a closed body compartment
hydro-static skeleton
endoskeleton
hardened internal skeleton
exoskeleton
hardened external skeleton
earthworm layers of muscles
- circular
longitudial
when circular muscles of earthworm contract what happens
diameter gets smaller
when longitudinal muscles of earthworm contracts what happened
earthworm length shortens
can both circular and longitidal msucles contract at the same time
no
what lets earthworm propel forward instead of just contrqacting in one spot
bristles anchored into the ground
muscles that generate opposite muscles; both cannot be contracted at the same time
ex: bicep and triceps
antagonistic muscles
what happens to angle when flexor contracts
angle decreases gets smaller
what happens when extender contracts
angle increases, gets bigger
skeletal muscle structure hierarchical organization
skeletal muscle– muscle fibers (cells) – myofibrils – thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments
muscle fibers composed of ______
sacromnere
additive so as a whole they contract enough to move bones of a skeleton
sacromere individually contract
composed of two chains of actin molecules
each ball on the chain is an actin molecule
myosin binding sites, (the dark spot on each actin molecule)
thin filament
composed of many myofin proteins tail and head reogin core of tails attatched heads exposed on surface of the bundle the yoson heads bind to the actin the myosin head is the part capable of generating movement, by using ATP, leading to overall muscle contraction
thick filament
center line of thin and thick filaments
M line
do either filament shorten during contraction
no, they just slide past each other, increasing overlap
ends of unit of actin and myosin fibers
Z
hoe does movement between filaments take place
myosin bonds to myosin sites on thin actin filament, and pulls it towards the middle using ATP
long rope like proteins that sit on top of myosin binding sites when the muscle is RELAXED. This prevents any myosin heads binding to the actin molecules
tropomyosin with troponin complexes on them
when contracting what happens to tropomyosin
Ca comes in and attaches to troponin complexes, conformation change, myosin binding sites exposed on actin for myosin filaments to bind to
dominant opposing force to locomotion in land animals
gravity
dominant opposing locomotion force in aquatic animals
friction from water
