Sliding Filament Questions

QuestionAnswer
skeletal muscle characteristics striated and voluntary
cardiac muscles characteristics striated and involuntary
smooth muscles characteristics non striated and involuntary
cell or fiber of muscles covered by sarcolemma
muscle cells are grouped into fascicles
what links muscle cells to bones connective tissue
what surrounds entire muscle? epimysium
what surrounds a fascicle? perimysium
what surrounds one muscle fiber? endomysium
what are the dark bands in muscle? A bands
what are the light bands in muscle? I bands
what is the H zone? middle portion of A band containing no thin filaments
what is the Z line? anchoring proteins for attachment of thin filaments on either side
what is the M line? anchoring proteins for thick filaments on either side
with contraction A bands come closer together but width remains the same I bands become narrower, Z lines get closer, H zones become narrower
what triggers muscle contraction? Calcium calcium binds to troponin of thin filaments to initiate contraction
what stores calcium? sarcoplasmic reticulum
myosin binding site covered by... tropomyosin
what sends action potentials to sarcolemma? alpha motor neurons
what does curare do? blocks nicotinic receptors of endplate produces paralysis
what does botox injections do? blocks acetylcholine release by axon produces muscle paralysis
what do muscles use ATP for? conformation change in myosin crossbridge or cocking release of myosin crossbridge from actin cacium pumps of sarcoplasmic reticulum, relaxation
with inadequate oxygen pyruvic acid is converted to what? lactic acid
Glucose breakdown into what during anaerobic cellular respiration pyruvic acid
what is anaerobic cellular respiration also called? glycolysis
what is the net yield of glycolysis 2 ATP per glucose, low yield glucose catabolism stops with the formation of two lactic acid units
what is the net yield of aerobic cellular respiration? 30-32 ATP per glucose, high yield
fat of glucose in aerobic cellular respiration glucose, pyruvic acid, acetyl CoA, CO2 and water
what is myoglobin? hemoglobin like protein found in skeletal muscles which operate aerobically
what is acidosis muscles build up of lactic acid lowered muscle oxygen and increase glycolysis and lactic acid production
what is phosphate buildup due to? rapid ATP breakdown
what is potassium buildup due to? buildup in T tubules after many action potentials
what do slow oxidative muscles look like? red muscles due to high myoglobin content stores oxygen
what do slow oxidative muscles do? slow contractions, small muscle fibers
what do fast oxidative glycolytic muscles look like? fast red muscles high myoglobin content, high capillary density
what do fast oxidative glycolytic muscles do? metabolize both aerobic and anaerobic fast contractions
what do fast glycolytic muscles look like? white muscle, little or none myoglobin largest and strongest muscle fibers
what do fast glycolytic muscles do? mostly anaerobic respiration so fatigue fast fastest muscles
what are isotonic contractions? muscle length changes, tension is almost contast
what is concentric muscle contractions muscle shortens bringing a book upwards
what is eccentric muscle contractions? muscle allowed to lengthen bringing a book downwards
what is isometric contractions overall muscle length does not change but tension increases
what are the characteristics of cardiac muscle? striated muscle, have intercalated discs between
what are the characteristics of smooth muscle? non striated small muscle cells located in hollow viscera and tubes like GI tract
what is the one factor consistently associated with good health in old age? weight bearing exercise
what are ligaments? structures that connect bones to other bones
more mobile place for muscle insertion

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.
