W10 Muscles Flashcards
what are the 3 contractile cells
myoepithelial cells
pericytes
myofibroblasts
which 2 muscles are striated muscles
skeletal
cardiac
which muscle is unstriated
smooth
which muscle type is voluntary
skeletal
which 2 muscle types are involuntary
cardiac and smooth
which muscle does skeletal control
tongue
what allows for contractile muscles to work
contractile proteins
whats the structure of skeletal muscles
elongated multinucleate contractile cells
what are skeletal muscle fibres cells grouped in
fasciculi
what are fascicles surrounded by
perimysium
what are skeletal muscles surrounded by
epimysium
what are the dark/light lines on skeletal muscles
dark = a bands
light = I bands
what are smooth muscles normally found in
uterus
blood vessel
bladder
how to identify histologically smooth muscles
central nuclei with elongated fibres bound together
what happens to contractile proteins when smooth muscles contract
move away from cell membrane
where are cardiac muscles found
myocardium
why are skeletal and cardiac similar muscle groups
strong contractions
why are smooth and cardiac similar muscle groups
continuous contraction
what are both smooth + cardiac muscles controlled by
nerves and hormones
how to identify histologically cardiac muscles
horizontal irregular shaped fibres with central elongated nuclei
what is the contraction of myocardium controlled by
purkinje system
what are the 3 types of cartilage
Hyaline
fibrocartilage
elastic
what do chondroblasts do
secrete Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
what do cartilage do
smooth surface for joint movement
open airways
form new bones
