Exam 2 Flashcards
Three types of muscle tissue
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Properties of Muscle tissue
excitability
contractility
elasticity
extensibility
skeletal muscle
move the skeleton
visible just under the skin
cylindrical shape
multinucleate
from fusion of myoblast
innervated at neuromuscular junction
striated
voluntary
vascular
cardiac muscle
in the heart myocaridum
y shape/ branch fiber
uninucleate/binucleate
intercalated disc
striated
auto rhythmic
involuntary
smooth muscle
in internal organs
involuntary
fusion shape
uninucleate
no striation
fatigue resistant
excitability
change electrical state and send electrical wave or impulse along membrane
contractibility
pull attachment points, shorten with force
elasticity
return to original length when relaxed
extensibility
stretch/extend beyond resting length
cardiac muscle location
myocardium of heart
cardiac muscle cell shape
branch and y shape
cardiac muscle nuclei
uni or bi
cardiac muscle striations
striated
cardiac muscle control
involuntary
cardiac muscle special features
intercalated disc, auto rhythmic
smooth muscle location
walls of visceral organs
smooth muscle cell shape
fusiform
smooth muscle nuclei
uninucleate
smooth muscle striations
not striated
smooth muscle control
involuntary
smooth muscle special features
fatigue resistant
skeletal muscle location
connected to skeleton
skeletal muscle cell shape
fiber - like - long cylindrical
skeletal muscle nuclei
multinucleate
