(110 cards)
What are the three different types of movement
- Amoeboid or pseudopodial movement by Leucocytes and Macrophages
- Ciliated/ Flagellated Movement - In the fallopian Tube and in trachea that helps in removal of dust particles. Spermatozoa shows Flagellated movement
- Muscular Movement -
three types of muscular tissue Skeletal, Smooth, Cardiac
______ helps in attachment of mucles to bones
Tendons
How many muscles are there in the human body
There are 639 muscles in the human body
How much of the body weight do muscles make up in adult human
40 - 50 percent of the body weight
What are the unique properties of muscles
CONTRACTIBILITY, EXCITABILITY, ELASTICITY, EXTENSIBILITY
The muscular tissue is made up of specialised cells k/a
Myocytes
One muscle fiber is arranged in a bundle k/a
Fasciculi
The structural and functional unit of Myofibril is
Sarcomere
What are the different types of myofilament
- Thin Myofilament
- Thick Myofilament
Name the contractile protein
Actin and Myosin
What is the content of 1 Sarcomere
1/2 I band + 1 A Band + 1/2 I Band
What is the full form of A-band and I-band
A-band stands for Anisotropic band
I-band stands for Isotropic band
The part of Myofibril present between two successive Z-line is called
Sarcomere
What does thin myofilament contain
- Actin
- Tropomyosin
- Troponin
What is the monomeric unit of Myosin
Meromyosin
What are the parts of meromyosin
Each meromyosin has 2 parts- A globular head with short arm and a tail
The tail of meromyosin is also k/a is also
Light Meromyosin
The globular head along with cross arm of meromyosin makes up the
Heavy Meromyosin
Actin is a _____ protein and occurs in two forms they are- ______ is the monomeric form and ______ polymeric form
Actin is a globular protein and occurs in two forms they are- G actin is the monomeric form and F actin is the polymeric form
Name the regulatory proteins in the muscles
Troponin and Tropomyosin
Polymerization of G actin to form F actin happens in the presence of
Magnesium Ion
Troponin is ____ protein
Trimeric Protein
Tropomyosin is a _____ molecule
Fibrous
What is the function of different Troponin
Troponin I – It inhibits the actin and myosin interaction
Troponin T -It is the binding site of Tropomyosin
Troponin C - It is the binding site of Calcium
