muscular system and some cardio vasc syst Flashcards
(40 cards)
what are the three muscle cell types?
skeletal muscle cells, cardiac muscle cell, and smooth muscle cell
what muscle cell compromises muscular system ?
skeletal muscle system
what muscle cell is linked by intercalated discs. and with gap junctions as a syncytium ?
cardiac muscle cells
which muscle cell causes internal organ motion, form arrector pili, and internal eye muscles ?
smooth muscle cell
what do muscle cells experience?
action potential (AP)
what is the name for the depolarization to sodium and calcium influx ?
action potential
what is the muscle cell exception that it has a AP start at the synapse with motor neurons ?
cardiac muscle cell
what does AP trigger ?
muscle contraction
what muscle cell has AP start with specialized what cells?
pace maker cells
what cells experience spontaneous AP and what makes this happen?
pace maker cells and this is because of leaky sodium channels
what assures the automatic rhythmic contractions ?
the leaky sodium channels
what is leakieness controlled by and what does it control ?
it is controlled by the nervous system and it controls heart rate
what are the two types of proteins important for contraction of muscle cells ?
myosin and actin (filaments )
what is the protein thats a motor protein that bonds with and runs along actin ?
myosin
what does myosin and actin form?
contractile units
what are the two cofactors that help trigger contraction?
ATP and calcium
what does the ATP activate? what does the calcium activate ?
ATP activates the myosin and calcium activates contractions by letting the myosin bind with actin
what unit forms a sparce network in the smooth muscle cell?
contractile units
whats the other name for anchoring protein?
dense bodies
whats comes from the AP of the cell?
activating calcium
what is the name for the contractile units of striated muscle?
sarcomeres
what are the anchoring proteins called in striated muscle ?
z-discs
how are sarcomeres arranged and whats the term?
they are arranged linearly, and they’re called myofibrils
what pack the entire cell in striated muscle ?
myofibrils
