24
What is a motor unit?
One nerve fiber and all muscle fibers attached to it?
25
Why are there so many muscles attached to one nerve?
There would need to be many nerve impulses to control the body
26
Fat deposits visible in meat
Marbling
27
Myosin fibers overlap a little during _________ but overlap in cross bridges during _________
Relaxation, contraction
28
The idea of a muscle contracting completely when it receives a nerve impulse or not contracting at all
All or nothing principle
29
What is muscle memory?
The ability for your nervous system to remember the power and movement necessary to do specific activities
30
The "pacemaker"
Sinoatrial node (SA node)
31
Why does the pacemaker have such control over things?
It's rate is so much faster
32
What do sympathetic nerves control?
Stimulate the heart to beat faster and harder (fight or flight)
33
What are parasympathetic fiber nerves responsible for?
Inhibiting cardiac function
34
Why is the smooth muscle an unconscious muscle?
It is involuntary.
35
What are the two main gross anatomy forms of the smooth muscle?
Large sheets of cells in organs and small discrete groups of cells
36
How are smooth muscles shaped?
Small and spindled with one nucleus
37
Where are visceral smooth muscles found?
In the walls of soft, internal organs
38
How are smooth muscles like cardiac muscles?
The nerve supply is not required to initiate contractions, but only modifies them--they contact without the need for external stimulation
39
Where are multi unit smooth muscles found?
In small, delicate places like the iris, small passageways in the lungs, walls of blood vessels
40
Four properties of muscle?
Excitability, contractibility, extensibility, elasticity
41
What is excitability?
Responses to neurotransmitters
42
What is extensibility?
The ability to stretch without tearing
43
What is elasticity?
Can return to regular shape after being stretched
44
Where are intercalated disks found?
At the ends connecting cardiac muscle cells
45
Which two muscle types are striated?
Cardiac and skeletal muscles
46
What are the two types of smooth muscles?
Visceral and multi unit smooth muscles
47
What are visceral smooth muscles in charge of?
Wave like contractions (digestion)
48
What are multi unit smooth muscles responsible for?
Small contractions (eye twitching)
49
Thick central portion of the muscle
Belly
50
Connective tissue that connects muscle to bone
Tendon
51
Connective tissue that attaches bone to bone
Ligament
52
Sheets of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone or muscle to muscle
Aponeurosis
53
A ring of muscle
Sphincter
54
Connective tissue on external surface of muscle
Fascia
55
Surrounds the entire muscle
Epimysium
56
Surrounds bundles of 10-100 muscle fibers
Perimysium
57
Separates individual muscle cells/fibers
Endomysium
58
Bundles of muscle tissue
Fascicles
59
What does calcium do to the binding sites before contracting?
Removes "mittens" from binding sites so "Shannon" can hold on
60
What supplies energy for the ratcheting of contracting muscles?
ATP
61
What pulls calcium out of the triad to supply calcium for contracting?
Acetal Coline
62
Enzymes that breaks down acetal Coline to stop it from dumping out calcium.
Acetal Coline esterase (ach ese)
63
What do prostaglandins do?
Control inflammation, regulating blood supply to kidneys, maintaining estrus, maintaining GI tract health
64
Thick filaments of muscle
Myosin
65
Thin muscle fibers
Actin
66
The filament that covers binding sites that won't let myosin and actin "hold hands" to contract
Tropamyosin
67
Three stages of contractions?
Excitation, contraction, relaxation
68
The amount of Ca in the muscle is determined by level of Ca in....
Blood
69
Signs of hypercalcemia?
Lethargy, PU/PD, muscle weakness
70
Signs of hypcalcemia?
Tremors and weakness, ataxia, inability to stand
71
Where is sacrolemma?
Cell membrane
72
What is rigor mortis?
Stiffness of death- muscles contraction and can't relax again
73
What exposes the contraction binding sites that allow actin and myosin heads to hold hands?
Calcium
74
During relaxation, what pumps Ca back into the storage area to cover up binding sites again?
Active transport pump
75
Why is ATP present in contraction?
Is the energy that moves myosin to attach to actin and ratchet the muscle to make the fiber appear shorter
76
Three sources of ATP in muscles?
Aerobic cellular respiration, ADP to ATP, anaerobic respiration
77
How do we control the strength of muscle contractions?
Control the number of muscle fibers that contract
78
What is muscle tone?
Muscle ability to be firm without physically contracting (legs, neck staying up)
79
What is atrophy?
Wasting away of muscles
80
What is hyper trophy?
Increase in diameter of muscle fibers
81
How do muscles create heat?
Shivering
82
How do cardiac muscles move?
In a wave like function to send messages
83
How many nucleus does a cardiac muscle have?
One
84
What are visceral movements responsible for?
