Skeletal Muscle has?
-Striated Pattern and Voluntary Movement
-3 Layers of CT
Skeletal Muscle consists of 3 layers of CT?
-Epimysium
-Perimysium
-Endomysium
Epimysium?
(dense irregular) Surrounds entire muscle
Perimysium?
(dense irregular) Surrounds fasicle
Endomysium?
(reticular) Surrounds individual fibers
Muscle fibers are made up of?
Myofibrils (myofibrils are arranged in a parallel pattern that gives striations)
Muscle Fibers consists of triads?
2 SR + 1 T-tubule (located at junction where A-Band meets I-Band) (SR stores calcium) (T-tubules initiate calcium release from SR into sarcomere)
New muscle fibers are formed by?
Satellite Cells (satellite cells are only found in skeletal muscle)
Red Muscle Fibers?
(Marathon)
-Rich vascular supply
-Slow and repetitive
-Not easily fatigued
-Weaker contraction
-Lot of Mitochondria so more ATP so more energy
White Muscle Fibers?
(Sprint)
-Poorer vascular supply
-Fast
-Easily fatigued
-Stronger contraction
-Not a lot of Mitochondria so less ATP so less energy
Skeletal Muscle - Sarcomeres?
Structural units of myofibrils
Sarcomere Composition?
Actin (thin) + Myosin (thick)
Function of Sarcomere?
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle
A-Band?
Actin + Myosin; reminds same length during contraction
H-Band?
Only Myosin; shortens in length during contraction
I-Band?
Only Actin; shortens in length during contraction
I-Band?
Only Actin; shortens in length during contraction
Z-Disk?
Located on both sides of sarcomere to serve as boundaries
Without ATP, skeletal muscle CANNOT?
Relax so it will stay contracted
Skeletal Muscle -Contraction?
(An ATP-dependent process)
-Rigor Mortis
-Myasthenia Gravis
-Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy (MD)
Rigor Mortis?
Continued contraction of muscle due to lack of ATP
Myasthenia Gravis?
Antibodies target ACh receptor which prevents contraction
Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy (MD)?
Dysfunctional Dystrophin Protein
Neuromuscular Junction secretes?
ACh to stimulate T-tubules to release calcium from SR
