muscles Flashcards
(45 cards)
Three types of muscle
Skeletal
cardiac
smooth
Two types of striated muscle
Skeletal
cardiac
Type of non-striated muscle
Smooth
Sarcolemma
Outer membrane of muscle
Sarcoplasm
Cytoplasm of a muscle cell
sarcomere
The contraction unit of striated muscle
Skeletal muscle T tubules
T tubules- invagination is of the Sacrolemma which the sodium ions can travel and are sandwiched between the terminal cisterna of the sarcoplasmic reticulum
this forms a triad
t tubels are found at the AI junction - a band Myosin I band actin
Where are skeletal T tubels found
AI junction
a - thick Myerson
I-actin
As skeletal muscle t tubules found in diet or triad
Triad
terminal cisterna of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, T tubules, terminal cisterna of the sacroplasmic reticulum
T tubules what are they made fun and function
Invagination of the sarcolemma down which sodium ions can travel
Role of terminal cisterna of the scaroplasmic reticulum
Stores calcium irons for release upon depolarisation by T tubules
What causes depolarisation of the sacroplasmic reticulum
t tubules
Where are cardiac T tubules found
Z band
What is the z band
The line in which actin filaments and adjacent sarcomas are anchored
What the cardiac T tubule dyad made of
sarcoplasmic reticulum terminal cisterna connecting to t trivial
Skeletal muscles have layers
Endomysium - inner
perimysium-middle
epimysium-outer
endomysium
Inner layer
loose connective tissue
surrounds each individual muscle fibre
the muscle fibres called Myofibrils and the contraction unit as a sacrament
perimysium
Middle layer
dense connective tissue which surrounds fasicle
contains nerves and blood vessels
epimysium
Outer layer
that connect tissue
What types of fibres can striated muscle have
Three types
slow twitch Ia
fast twitch 2a
fast twitch 2 B
Each fascicle has at least one of each
Type 1 and type II muscle fibres can be described as oxidative or glycolytic
type 1-slow oxidative
type 2a- fast oxidative and glycolytic
type 2b- first glycolytic
Describe the blood flow in the three types of fibres
Type I- rich blood supply
type 2a - rich blood supply
type 2b- poor blood supply
Describe whether the muscle fibres are anaerobic or aerobic
Type I aerobic
type IIa aerobic
type IIB anaerobic
Compare the myoglobin levels in the different type of muscle fibres
Type I hi myoglobin levels
type II a hi myoglobin levels
type IIB low myoglobin levels
