muscle system
responds to stimuli and changes in environment
functions of muscle
movement, contraction, storage of excess glucose
muscle:
high proportion in protein
skeletal muscle
striated, fusion of many cells, voluntary movement
cardiac
striated, uni/binucleate, heart only
smooth
no striations, single celled, involuntary
myofibrils
bundles of proteins in a muscle cell
myofibrisl are composed of
thick and thin filaments
thick filament is
myosin
thin filament is
actin, troponin, tropomyosin
what gets shorter in contraction
I band and H zone gets shorter, not actin or myosin
smooth ER does what
stores calcium
what does calcium do in thick fil?
it binds to troponin and pulls it off tropomyosin
rigor mortis
stiffness after death, no more oxygen or ATP
ATP is required for
unbinding of actin and myosin
sonic muscles
muscles that contract at a high frequency
properties of sonic muscles
increase ATP, increase calcium, increase SR, faster release of myosin from actin, different troponin isoforms, sarcomeres shorten
direct flight
wings that are directly attached to muscles, synchronous flight
indirect flight
wings that are not directly attached to muscles, asynchronouse flight
contraction of dorsoventral medical muscles
wings go up
contraction of lateral muscles
wings go down
insects that use direct flight
incapable of folding flat over abdomen, dragonflies, butterflies, moths
synchonous flight
1 AP = 1 contraction, 50-200 hz, increase ATP, calcium, and SR so like sonic muscle
contraction of vertical muscles
wings go up
