20 muscles located with the foot Intrinsic foot muscles
4 major Functions Contractility, Excitablilty, Extensibility, Elasticity
Contractility Ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force
Excitability Capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus
Extensibility Ability to stretched
Elasticity recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched
Epimysium Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by connective tissue sheath
Fascia Connective tissue located outside Epimysium, surrounds and separates muscles.
Permiysium surrounded by loose connective tissue
Fibers Fasciculi are composed of single muscles
Endomysium Each fiber is surrounded by connective tissue sheath
cytoplasm of each fiber Myofibrils
Myofibrils threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other.
Actin Myofilaments thin, 2 minutes strands of pearls twisted together
Myosin thick, bundles of minute golf clubs
Sacomeres Actin and myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units
Resting membrane potential outside of most cell membranes is positively charged, inside of the cell membrane, negatively charged.
Motor neurons nerve cells carry actin potentials to skeletal muscle fibers
Muscle Twitch contraction of an entire muscle in response to a simulus that causes the actin potential in one or more muscle fibers
3 phases lag, contraction, relaxation
Lag Phase beginning of a contraction
Contraction Phase time of contraction
Relaxation Phase time during which the muscle relaxes
