Lecture Exam 2 (review) Flashcards
(97 cards)
skeletal tissue
long, cylindrical, multi nucleated, striated cells
cardiac tissue
striated, interlocking, uninucleated found in heart
smooth tissue
non-striated, interlocking, crossing, uninucleated found in tubes
muscle tissue properties
excitability, contractability, extensibility, elasticity
respond to stimuli
excitability
ability to shorten
contractibility
ability to contract over range of resting lengths
extensibility
ability to return to normal length
elasticity
function of skeletal muscle
produce skeletal movement, maintain posture, support soft tissues, regulate entry/exit or materials, and maintain body temperature
muscle organization (smallest to largest)
myofilaments, myofibrils, muscle fibers, fascicles, muscle
actin, myosin; arranged into sacromeres
myofilaments
collections of myofilaments
myofibrils
AKA muscle cells/myocytes; collections of myofibrils; surrounded by endomysium
muscle fibers
what are muscle fibers surrounded by
endomysium
bundles of muscle fibers; surrounded by perimysium
fascicles
what are fascicles surrounded by
perimysium
collection of fascicles; surrounded by epimysium
muscle
what is muscle surrounded by
epimysium
functional contractile unit of muscle
sarcomere
sliding filament theory step 1
calcium ions enter muscle fiber via sarcoplasmic reticulum
sliding filament theory step 2
calcium ions bind to troponin; troponin changes orientation, moving tropomyosin and exposing myosin binding sites
sliding filament theory step 3
cross-bridging occurs between actin and myosin; muscle begins to contract
sliding filament theory step 4
electrical stimulation ends, calcium is reabsorbed into SR; ATP consumed
skeletal muscles contract from
insertion to origin
