large myelinated schwann cell 20 um conduction velocity
130 m/aec
small myelinated schwann cell .5um conduction velocity
.5 m/sec
detects linear acceleration and head tilts in horizontal plane
utricle
etects linear acceleration and head tilts in vertical plane
saccule
fundamental contractile unit of striated muscle
sarcomere
light band
actin filament
I band - isotropic band
has Z disc
dark band
myosin filament
A band An isotropic band
has H line - light line
3 types of protein of actin
actin
tropomyosin
troponin - strong affinity to calcium
myosin 3 types of proteins
heavy chain - 2 (tail)
light chain (4) head
Arm - form the cross bridges
fast twitch fiber
fast glycolytic fibers are called
type II B fibers
type II A - fast oxidative
type of muscle contractions muscle does not shorten during contraction
isometric - sitting standing and posture
- isotonic - mm thus retention with tension
- concentric - mm shorting w/o movement
- eccentric - mm lengthening + mvement
refers to progressive increase in magnitude of twitch
due to progressive increase in cytoplasmic Ca ++
treppe / stair case effect
type of motor unit composed of discrete fibers each contracts independently
- innervated by single nerve ending
-
multi unit smooth mm
whole fiber contract together as single unit
- fibers aggregated into sheets or bundles
unitary
syncitial smooth muscle
visceral smooth mm
type of mm which sarcomere are absent has no troponin t tubules are absent few myosin more actin
smooth muscle
condition in which the mm maintains high levels of active dorce with out rapid CB
latch mecahnism
