Exam 3 Flashcards
endomysium
Thin fascial sheath that surrounds the cell membrane of each muscle fiber.
perimysium
Bundles of muscle fibers are called fasciculi, which are surrounded by perimysium
epimysium
Entire muscle covered by
What innervates:
Skeletal muscle?
Smooth muscle?
Cardiac muscle?
Skeletal muscle: somatic nervous system
Smooth muscle: Autonomic Nervous System
Cardiac muscle: Involuntarily controlled– contractions are regulated by intrinsic fibers, hormones, and ANS
Where do you find:
Skeletal muscle?
Smooth muscle?
Cardiac muscle?
Skeletal muscle: Comprises 40-50% of total body weight and is made up of over 600 individual muscles
Smooth muscle:wall of hollow visceral organs and tubes, blood and lymphatic vessels, iris, etc
Cardiac muscle: walls and partitions of the heart
Striated or non-striated:
Skeletal muscle?
Smooth muscle?
Cardiac muscle?
Skeletal muscle: Striated
The Smooth muscle: Non-striated
Cardiac muscle: Striated
Size
Smooth muscle?
Cardiac muscle?
Smooth muscle: Relaxed smooth muscle are 30-200 um, thickest in the middle (3-8 um) and tapered
Cardiac muscle: 50-100 um in length and 14 um in diameter
Which muscle remains contracted and how much longer?
Cardiac muscle: Single action potential remains contracted 10 to 15 times longer than skeletal muscle
Fast fibers:
- anaerobic metabolism
- large in diameter
- densely packed mofibrils
- large glycogen reserves
- few mitochondria
- aka: white muscle fibers, fast-twitch glycolytic fibers, and Type II-A fibers.
Slow fibers:
- half the diameter of fast fibers
- take three times as long to contract after stimulation
- dramatically higher oxygen supply
- contain the red pigment myoglobin
- dark red
- aka: red muscle fibers, slow-twitch oxidative fibers, and Type I fibers
Nucleus:
Skeletal muscle?
Smooth muscle?
Cardiac muscle?
Skeletal muscle: Multinucleated
Smooth muscle: single nucleus
Cardiac muscle: single nucleus (possibly 2)
Muscle examples of 1st class levers
Unusual in the musculoskeletal system
Triceps in elbow
Raises head off chest. Posterior neck muscles provide the effort. Atlanto-occipital joint is the fulcrum, the weight lifted is the facial skeleton.
Muscle examples of 2nd class levers
Unusual in the musculoskeletal system
A push-up
Extension of the metatarsal phalangeal joint while standing
Stand on tip-toe
Muscle examples of 3rd class levers
Most of the musculoskeletal levers in the body are 3rd class
