Muscle- Lecture 9/21/21 Flashcards
(43 cards)
Myocytes/fibers
Muscle cells, can be feet long
Satellite cells
Muscle stem cells
Somatic motor control
For voluntary muscles
Visceral motor control
For involuntary muscles
Skeletal muscle
Striated muscle that are voluntary, usually associated with skeletal movement
Visceral muscle
Striated, voluntary visceral muscles (Upper esophagus, pharynx, tongue)
Cardiac muscle
Striated, under autonomic (sympathetic/parasympathetic) control
Smooth muscle
Non-striated, under autonomic control
Epiysium
Fibrous edge surrounding entire skeletal muscle
Perimysium
Surrounds muscle fascicles
Endomysium
Surrounds each muscle fiber
Fascicle
Group of muscle fibers
Skeletal muscle fibers
Multinucleated, giant cells
Myofibrils
Packed in each muscle, packed with myofilaments repeating sarcomere
Sarcomere
Consisting of actin and myosin fibers
Z line
The place where all the branched actin lines up
M line
The middle of a sarcomere
H band
In the middle, only myosin fibers
A band
Where the are both myosin and actin fibers
I band
Only actin fibers
Muscle contraction
Ca2+ causes troponin to sequester tropomyosin, allowing myosin to bind and shorten sarcomeres (contract0
Sarcolemma
Muscle plasma membrane
T-tubules
Allow electric impulse to travel into the muscle cell
DHP receptors
Line T-tubule, signal for the sarcoplasmic reticulum to let Ca2+ out
