MSK Flashcards
(39 cards)
Skeletal muscle
attaches to bone and skin
*YES striations
Cardiac Muscle
walls of the heart
*YES striations
Smooth muscle
walls of hollow organs; eye muscles, airways and large arteries, stomach
*NO striations
Structure & Organizations of Muscle layer
muscle
fascicle
muscle fiber / cell
Connective Tissue wrappings
Muscle (epimysium)
Fascicle (perimysium)
Muscle Fiber (endomysium)
Sarcolema
plasma membrane
myoglobin
oxygen storage
glycosome
glycogen / glucose storage
Sarcoplasmic Rediculum
fluid filled membrane channels that are wrapped around the myofibrils
T tubules
ingavinations of the sarcolemma, forms a closed tunnel system throughout the uscle that contains Extracellular fluid
triad
junction of T tubule with the SR on each side
I band
where there are two thin filaments
*straddles 2 sacromeres
Z line
arrays of thin filaments are attached to one end
H zones
portion of the A band that does not have thin filaments
A band
where there is some overlap of thin and thick filaments
Actin
thin filament
Myocin
Thick filament
elastin
coiled = contracted
relaxed = stretched
Tyopomyocin and troponin
proteins that regulate contraction, they are bound to actin
tropomyosin
regulatory protein
prevents binding of myosin
troponin
helps initiate muscle contraction
binds to calcium and tells them to move
Titin
elastic filaments are made up of a protein called titin
titin function
hold thick filaments in place
help muscle recoil after stretch
protect the muscle from excessive stretch
Nebulin
support protein that anchors actin
