Lab 5: Muscle Flashcards
name the 3 types of muscle
skeletal
cardiac
smooth
what are all muscles made for
movement
what is muscle tissue made of
muscle cells
what is needed for movement
ontraction
is skeletal muscle movement voluntary or involuntary
skeletal muscles provide voluntary motion
describe skeletal muscle cells
multinucleated
what are myoblasts
have single nucleus
fuse to form a muscle fiber
what is muscle fiber aka
muscle cell
describe location of nuclei of muscle cell/fiber of skeletal muscle
nuclei is peripherally located
what are muscle cells (fibers) sounded by (skeletal muscle)
CT called endomysium
what is sarcomere
smallest functional unit of muscle
what is responsible for giving skeletal muscle the striated appearance
sarcomere
what is sarcomere composed of
myosin - thick filaments
actin - thin filaments
what is perimysium
around a bundle/fascicle
what is epimysium
dense ct that surrounds an entire muscle
is cardiac muscle striated
yes
what is cardiac muscle composed of
myofibrils and sarcomeres for contractility
describe cardiac muscle cells
short
branched
describe nuclei of cardiac muscle cells
1-2 centrally located nuclei
what are cardiac muscle cells connected by
intercalated disks
is cardiac muscle contraction voluntary
NOOOO
INVOLUNTARY
what do intercalated disks of cardiac muscle have
gap junctions
describe gap junctions of intercalated disks of muscle cells
gap junctions allow ions to flow throughout cardiac tissue
muscle contraction is coordinated
heart can work as pump
is smooth muscle striated
NOPEEEE
