chapter 10 Flashcards
skeletal muscles are referred to as
muscle fibers
Fascicles
bundles of muscle
fibers
three layers of connective tissue occur within
endomysium, perimysium and epimysium
endomysium
innermost
delicate
areolar surrounds and electrically insulates each muscle fiber
perimysium
sounds the fascicles
dense irregular connective tissue
blood vessels nad nerves
Epimysium
dense irregular
surrounds the whole skeletal muscle
deep facia
dense irregular tissue
separates individual muscles
binds together muslces
forms sheath
fills space between muslces
flat sheet formed from a tendon
aponeurosis
less mobile attachment
origin
more mobile attachted
insertion
2 main structures are unique to muscle fibers
t- tubules and sarcoplasmic retticulum
cytoplasm of muscle fiber
sarcoplasm
satelite cells fuse with damaged muscle fiber and assist in repair and regeneration
skeltal muslce injured
80& of volume of a muscle fiber is composed of long cylindrical structures
myofibrils
sacromere
functional contractile of a skeletal muscle fiber
tropomyosin and troponin are what
thin flagments
each spherical moleclue
g actin
fligament composed of a strand of g actin molecule is called
f actin
sacromere
composed of thick and thin
distance between two adjacents z disc
I bands
Extend from both directions of a z disc
light band containing thin f
only connection proteins
m line
thin
dark protein dics
center of H zone here thick f attach
H zone
lighter region
middle of a band
think f only
A band
Dark band middle of sarcomere
entire thick f
cardiac
uninucleate cells
branching , striated
