Chap 4 A&P Muscular System Flashcards
(47 cards)
Two main types of muscles
Voluntary and involuntary
Is skeletal muscle striated
Yes
Primary functions of the muscular system
Support
movement
protection
What is an antagonistic muscle
Move in opposite direction
Example
Bicep flexes tricep relaxes
What is endomysium
Wraps individual muscle fibers
What is paramesium
Wraps bundles of fibers together
What is epimysium and fascia
Wrap the entire muscle
What is the portion of muscle with muscle fibers
Gaster a.k.a. belly
endomysium, paramecium, epimysium and fascia all extend beyond Gaster of muscle to form the tendon
T or F
True
What delivers impulses to muscles to be able to have voluntarily control
Neuron
Each Barbara has a set of 4 to 20 right like filaments what are they known as
Myofibrils
What is cytoplasm in myofibrils referred to as
Sarcoplasm
What is scattered throughout the sarcoplasm that provides ATP
Mitochondria
What is a sarcomere
Smaller units of myofibrils
They are the functional units of skeletal muscle
The repetition of sarcomeres gift characteristics of striated appearance
True
True
What are the 2 myofilaments that a sarcomere is composed of that run parallel to each other
Myosin- thick
Actin - thin
When muscle contracts each myosin filament comes in contact with each other
T or F
True
Where do my oh send an acting filaments come together
Myosin heads
What is myoglobin
Reddish molecule that stores oxygen
What is cellular respiration
The process by which oxygen moves in and out of the cell
Why is read muscle often called slow muscle or oxidative muscle
Because of the reserve of oxygen supply in myoglobin
What is white muscle
A.k.a. fast muscle or glycolytic muscle because of the plentiful glycogen present
white muscle have very little or no myoglobin
T or F
True
In white muscle is ATP used up quickly because of little oxygen available for cellular respiration
Y or N
Yes
