4 properties of muscles
Fn of muscle tissue
hierarchy of muscle (small>big)
Myofibril>myofilaments>muscle fiber>fascicle>Muscle
Muscle connective tissue (layers out to in)
Skeletal muscle
striated, multinucleate, attached to skeleton
Cardiac muscle is
branched, single nucleus, striated, dintercalated discs, involuntary
Smooth
spindle shape, lines the hollow part around organs, ie the stomach
Blood supply needed in muscles because
blood carries oxygen, glucose, and CO2, -> cellular respiration to produce ATP, which is needed to power the action potential, the interaction between the actin and myosin
Aponeuroses is
a flattened tendon
Muscle fiber structure (out>in)
T-tubules are
extensions of the sarcolemma
Triad includes
2 terminal cisternae and 1 t-tubule
Thick myofibril is made up of
myosin (darker)
thin myofibril is made up of
actin (lighter)
Sarcromere
functional unit that can contract(from z-line to z-line)
Neuromuscular junction parts
The motor unit
is the neuron plus all the muscle fibers that it controls,
bigger muscle= bigger motor unit
muscle size changes
- Muscle atrophy: loss of mass due to lack of use
Skeletal muscle fiber types
Muscle fiber orientation types
Origin
does not move during contraction
Insertion
moves during contraction
Synergists
helper muscles to the agonists
Facial and muscles
