1
Q

Cells of these types of tissues have plasma membrane that can alter electrical potential from the normal resting potential

A

Excitable Tissue

2
Q

Do all cells in body have RMP? If not, which ones don’t?

A

No. dead cells

Stratum Corneum of epidermis

3
Q

Altering the RMP is done by _____ in the plasma membrane to create _______

A

Proteins

Action/Graded Potential

4
Q

Are all muscle cell types excitable?

A

Yes

5
Q

Muscle attached to skeleton (mostly) longest muscle cell type, and are under voluntary control.

A

Skeletal

6
Q

What is the appearance of the histology of skeletal muscle?

A

Skeletal - over lapping proteins

7
Q

Muscle that is excitable, can conduct graded and action potentials, found in digestive tract, blood vessels, reproductive and respiratory systems

A

Smooth Muscle

8
Q

How is the histology of smooth muscle different?

A

Not striated. Cells are smaller and spindle shaped.

9
Q

Muscle found only in the heart. Striated, but with branching fibers. Intercalated disks appear between fibers that are actually gap junctions

A

Cardiac Muscle

10
Q

Characteristic of Muscle that means it can conduct action potential in repsonse to a stimulus

A

Excitability

11
Q

Characteristic of muscle tissue meaning it can shorten and lengthen to generate a force, they push different things

A

Contractability

12
Q

Function of Smooth muscle
Function of Carciac Muscle
Function of skeletal muscle

A

Push Fluids or gases
Push Blood
Move skeleton

13
Q

Characteristic of muscle tissue meaning it can be stretched beyond resisting length when it is relaxed, may or may not be functional

A

Extensibility

14
Q

Characteristic of muscle tissue meaning that it after stretching it will resume its original length

A

Elasticity

15
Q

Function of muscle done to skeletal structure, blood, or a substance encircled by the organ (i.e. food)

A

Produce Movement

16
Q

The function that is only applicable to skeletal muscle

A

Maintain Posture

17
Q

As skeletal muscle maintains posture, it also does this

A

Stabilizes joints

18
Q

Function of muscle tissue , not all potential energy from ATP is converted to kinetic energy for work, some released as a different type of energy

A

Generate Heat

19
Q

Why is the release of energy as heat a good thing (as long as it’s not too much)?

A

Keeps the enzymes of body functioning.

20
Q

Is all skeletal muscle attached to bone?

A

No, there are a few exceptions (palmaris longus)

21
Q

Elongated cell known as a fiber (long and thin). Surrounded by plasma membrane and contains cytoplasm and organelles

A

Muscle Cell

22
Q

The name for the plasma membrane of the muscle cell

A

Sarcolemma

23
Q

Where is the endomysium in relation to the muscle cell?

A

Just outside the sarcolemma (superficial)

24
Q

The name for the cytoplasm of muscle cells

A

Sarcoplasm

25
Q

These type of organelles in the muscle cell are unique because there are multiple of them and they are peripherial

A

Nuclei

26
Q

These type of organelles in muscle cells are unique because there are numerous amounts of them (not the nuclei), makes sense because muscle cells are involved in energy production and skeletal muscle uses a lot of energy

A

Mitochondria

27
Q

Protein of muscle cells that stores extra oxygen, which is necessary for production of ATP

A

Myoglobin

28
Q

Inclusions (aka storage granules) that store additional glycogen (fuel)

A

Glycosomes

29
Q

The modified endoplasmic reticulum in the muscle cell, it is surround the myofibrils

A

Sarcoplasmic Reticulum

30
Q

These structures are contractile organelle that are rod like and run parallel to the length of the cell and take up 80% of the volume of skeletal muscle cell

A

Myfibrils

31
Q

Myofilaments that run entire length of entire fibril, and therefore run length of entire fiber

A

Thick Filaments

32
Q

Made up of myosin, multiple bundled together.

A

Thick Filament

33
Q

These molecules have a long rope like tail and two heads (kiiind of looks like sperm)

A

Myosin Molecule

34
Q

Three proteins of thin filaments

A

1) Actin
2) Tropomyosin
3) Troponin

35
Q

A series of beads strung together, a globular protein strung to make a string in thin filaments

A

Actin

36
Q

Threadlike protein in thin filaments

A

Tropomyosin

37
Q

Protein of thin filaments that is a cluster of multiple proteins joined together to form a complex

A

Troponin

38
Q

Thin and think filaments overlap specific to each myofibril, because of this we see

A

Banding Pattern

39
Q

The dark band we can see in muscle tissue under the microscope

A

Q

The light band we can see in muscle tissue under the microscope

A

I band

41
Q

This band is the length of the thick filament in the muscle cell with some thin filament overlap

A
