Lec 18

TermDefinition
Osteotendinal junction bone & tendon junction
Myotendinal Junction muscle & tendon junction
Tendons fusion of all 3 C.T. together @ the 2 distal ends of the muscle forms tendons which becomes continuous with periosteum
Sarcolemma (plasmalemma) -Phospholipid bilayer with imbedded proteins -Thickness 7.5 nm -Highly folded
Sarcosol Liquid portion of cell/plasma
Sarcoplasm Whatever is inside membrane Sarcolemme+sarcosol=sacoplasma
Myofibrils -Longitudinal, vertical densely packed individual fibers -Diameter: 1-3mm
I-band -Isotropic -Light & uniform
A-band -Anisotropic -Dark & dense
Sarcomere -Located between two adjacent z-discs -Contractile unit of myofibrils -Series arrangement & parallel arrangement
Series arrangement ^ range & velocity of contraction
parallel arrangement ^ Force of contraction
H-zone Hellerscheibe (German) Middle of A-band
M-line -Mittelscheibe -Middle H-zone
Z disc Center of each I-band
Thick filament -Myosin protein -Organized antiparallel (HEADS ON BOTH SIDES) (Tails twist together ) -Heads contain ATP & Actin -Chemical energy is immediately converted to mechanical energy (Moves myosin head)
Thin filament Actin - contractile protein G-actin -Globular protein attach to each other (beads) F-actin - G-actin side by side (necklace)
Troponin I binds to actin
Troponin T Binds to tropomyosin
Troponin C Binds to calcium
Thick & thin filaments interdigitate in a hexagonal array 1 Thick: 6 Thin
Mechanism of muscular contraction Thin pulled/slides over thick filaments
What happens to I-band during muscle fiber shortening? narrows & disappears
What happens to A-band during muscle fiber shortening? remains the same length
What happens to H-zone during muscle fiber shortening? narrows, disappears, reappears darker color because of over lapping & becomes a wider zone

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
