Exam 1 Flashcards
types of muscles
1 cardiac– heart; involuntary
2 smooth– iintestines; involuntary
3 skeletal– attaches to skeleton; voluntary 30-40% of body weight & over 600 muscles in the body
types of movement
1 agonist – directly causing the movement
2 antagonist– opposes the movement; slows down or braking (elbow flexing the triceps counter act it)
muscle actions
1 isotonic
2 isometric
3 isokinetic
Isotonic
this is dynamic – most body movements
1 concentric – M shortens creates more F than the resistance
2 eccentric–M. lengthens, create less F than the resistance
Isometric
static– think of posture
** the M. length does not change the M. will stay the same length so nothing is moving
Isokinetic
you see this in clinical settings
muscles shorten and joint rotates at a set speed/velocity
Macroscopic structures
1muscle fiber 2endomysium 3fasciculus 4perimysium 5epimysium 6tendon
muscle fiber
main structural componenet of skeletal system
- avg diameter= 10-100 mm so about the size of a hair
length up to 30 cm
endomysium
connective tissue that surrounds/separates individual muscle fibers
fasciculus
bundle that contains a group of muscle fibers ( up to 150)
perimysium
connective tissue that surrounds/separates individual fascicles
epimysium
outer fascia of connective tissue encasing the entire muscle group
tendon
joins the muscle to the bone
what structures are in the macrosopic??
Sarcolemma satellite cells sarcoplasm tranverse tubules sarcoplasmic reticulum
sarcolemma
thin plastic membrane beneath endomysium surrounding each muscle fiber
- fused with endomysium
- conducts wave depolarization along surface of fiber
- insulates muscle fiber from one another during depolariztion
satellite cells
within the sarcolemma’s basement membrane
-regulate certain cellular function like growth and repair
sarcoplasm
fluid resembling gelatin within the spae of a single muscle fiber
- contains lipids, glycogen, enzyme, nuclei, mito, other organelles
- similar to cytoplasm in other cells of the body
- BUT sarcplasm contains large amounts of glycogen and myoglobin
t tubules
this can be found in the sarcoplasm
- interconnected and pass throught muscle fibers
- extension of th esarcolemma that carry impulses through each fiber
- serve a transport vesicles for certain substances ( ions, o2 and glucose)
sarcoplasmic reticulum
longitudinal system of tubules w/in each M. fiber
- these store Ca2 wihc is crucial for muscle contraction
microscopic structures
myofibril
myofilaments
myofibril
element of skeletal muscle that allow muscel to contract
- up to thousands of myofibrils per fiber
- arranged in parallel alignment
myofilaments
proteins that comprise a myofibril
- main proteins actin and myosin
I-band -- only actin A-band -- contains actin and myosin H-zone-- center f A-band where only mysoin is present M-line--center of H-zone and sarcomere ** actin anchored to Z-line **myosin anchored to M-line
sarcomere
smallest contractile unit of the skeletal muscle
- 2.2-2.5 mm long
- made up of 1 myosin surrouned by 6 actin
- each myofiber is made up of MANY of these
- are joined end to end at the Z-line
- the sarcomere provides stability for the Z-line
