Primary movement joints in the body
Synovial joints
Muscle to bone attachment
Tendon
Bone to bone attachment
Ligament (ACL)
Muscle organization
->Muscle. Fasicle. Muscle fiber. Myofibril. Sarcomere. Actin/myosin
Fascia layers
Epimysium-outer most surrounds entire muscle
Peromysium- surrounds bundle of fibers
Endomysium- surrounds 1 muscle fiber
Bundle of fibers is called
Fasicle (amount of fibers in bundle differs, more in quads, less in eyes, all or none, more control in eyes) grouped by fiber type
Muscle cell made of _ and contains_
Myofibrils, sarcomeres (sarcomere is smallest contractile unit of muscle)
Z disk
The walls
A band
Length of myosin that never changes length
I band
Actin but no myosin
H zone
Myosin but no actin
Sliding filament theory
Within one sarcomere, myosin is like rowboat floating in between actin. Myosin reaches out the oars to interact with actin, pulls with power stroke to shorten muscle, power stroke from ATP hydrolysis
Rate coding
Rate of sending action potentials that can grade level of force
Activating a muscle fiber
1-Create action potential
2-Action potential propagates down the nerve to neuromuscular junction
3-ACH crosses junction exciting sarcolemma
4-signal goes down t-tubules to release CA+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum
5-troponin binds to tropomyosin and pull tropomyosin out of the way
6-tropomysin moves to open up the binding site
7-myosin binds to actin forming a cross bridge
Muscle spindle
Sense muscle stretch and causes a contraction
Golgi tendon organ
Senses when a muscle in contracted hard and a tendon is stretched, tells muscle to relax (inhibits)
Pacemaker of the heart
SA node
Bradycardia
Less than 60 BPM
Tachycardia
More than 100 BPM
P wave
Atria depolarize
QRS complex
Ventricle depolarize and atria repolarize
T wave
Ventricle repolarize
Level of gas exchange blood and lungs (2 answers)
Capillary and alveoli
Joints that allow virtually no movement
Fibrous joints (sutures of the skull)
