MUSCLE Flashcards
(87 cards)
cytoplasm of the muscle fiber
sarcoplasm
a single muscle fiber is coated with a connective tissue called
endomysium
specialized elongated cells
muscle fibers
two main classification of muscle tissue
striated & smooth muscle
this is same with skeletal muscles but restricted to certain portions of the visceral
visceral striated muscles
examples of visceral striated muscle
tongue
lumbar part of the diaphragm
pharynx
nuclei of skeletal muscle is found where
sarcolemma
collection of muscle fiber known as fascicles are coated with a connective tissue known as
perimysium
collection of fascicles known as skeletal muscles is coated with
epimysium
classification of skeletal muscle fiber depends on
contractile speed
enzymatic velocity
metabolic profile
an enzyme capable of breaking down ATP during contraction cycle
Myosin ATPase
this requires energy to produce ATP
oxidative phosphorylation
oxidative phosphorylation usually happens where
inside the mitochondria
known as slow twitch
type 1 fibers
type 1 fibers are usually seen where in average humans
back muscles
in athletes type 1 fibers are found in
high endurance athletes such as marathon runners
type II a fibers are known as
fast oxidative glycolytic fibers
type IIa fibers are seen where in average humans
major muscles of the leg
in athletes, type IIa fibers are seen in
sprinters
middle distance swimmers
hockey players
fatigue prone units
Fast glycolytic fibers (Type IIb)
this fiber is only good for fine & rapid movement
Type IIb fibers
in average humans where can type IIb fibers be seen
extraocular muscles
muscles in fingers
In athletes, Type IIb fibers can be found in high percentage in:
Short distance sprinters
Weightlifters
myoglobin can be found in type IIb fibers
False
