Muscular Stystem

Tuesday 7-21-9

QuestionAnswer
4 main functions of the muscular system External Mobility-Internal mobility-Heat production-Posture Maintence
which muscle type contains striations? (2)Skeletal,Smooth or Cardiac? Skeletal & Cardiac
Which muscle type has one centrally located nucleus? (2) Skeletal, Smooth or Cardica? Smooth & Cardiac
Which muscle type has small or elongated fibers Sketetal
Which muscle type is involuntary (2) Smooth and Cardiac
Which muscle type fatigues rapidly Skeletal
Which muscle type is located in the heart cardiac
Which muscle type must be stimulated be a nerve impulse skeletal
Which muscle type forms the walls of hollow organs smooth
Many muscle fibers are grouped into bundles of tissue known as.. Perimysium
when tendons corss multiple joints they are wrapped in ... Tendon Sheaths
Sarcomeres are composed of bundles of protein threads called... Myofilament
Basic muscle cell Muscle Fiber
Basic contractile unit of a muscle cell Fasciculi
A broad flat tendon Aponeurosis
the cytoplasm of the cell Sarcoplasm
bundles of fasciculi are again bound by another fascial layer Sarcomere
the cell membrane-encases sarcoplasm adn organells Sarcolemma
a structure made of deep fascia that anchors muscle to bone tendon
what is the special molecule that stores energy? ATP
what respiration requires oxygen in order to form APT and maintain enegery levels Aerobic respiration
what respiration in the presence of oxygen, breaks down glucose and releases apt to produce lactic acid Anaerobic respiration
what acid is formed as the end product of anaerobic glycolysis Lactic acide
what is fatigue resistant Slow Twitch
the price of a more rapid contraction is a quick depletion of apt and fibers that fatique quickly fast twitch
referred to as pink muscle intermediate
classified in between the 2 extremes of slow and fast twitch fiber intermediate
many world class sprinters have a high ratio of these fibers in their leg muscles intermediate
a high ratio of these fibers would be present in the legs of world class long distance runners slow twitch
known as white muscle fast twitch
known as red muscle slow twitch
the muscle changed in tension but not in length isometric contraction
the tone or tension within a muscle ramins the same as the length of the muscle changeds isotonic contraction
the most common type of muscle contraction isotonic contraction
a type of isotonic contraction that occurs as the muscle SHORTENS Concentric Contraction
a type of isotonic contraction that occurs as the muscle LENGTHENS Eccentric Contraction
Proprioceptors are ____ located in the muscles, tendons and joints Sensory Receptors
the ____ are proprioceptors that are located within the muscle belly & serve as a protective mechanism 2 safeguard the muscle from over-strectching caused by musclular contraction Muscle Spindles
these proprioceptor is located in the musculo-tendinous junction and detects tension applied 2 the tendon during slow static stretch Golgi tendon Organs
myofibrils are made up of what? Myofilaments
retainng bands for tendons Retinacula
wraps around fibers/cells endomysium
covers fasciculi perimyslium
wraps around entire muscle epimysium
wraps around muscle groups deep fascia
fluid filled system of cavities that contain calcium Sarcoplasmic reticulum
unit of measure Sacromeres
power plant mitochondria
channels with in sacrolemma;helps spread nerve impluse t tubes
muscle nerve motor neuron
single motor neuron plus all muscle fibers motor unit
btw motor neuron and motor end plate neuromuscler junction
motor neurons connect 2 folded sections of sarcolemma motor end plate
narrow gap or cleft across which neurotransmitters or chemical messages diffuse synapse
prime mover Agonist
opposite of Agnoist Antagonist
contract same tiem as prime mover to help assist Synergist
Stabilizers fixators
skeletal muscle contraction in which there is an increase in tension by a contraction adn the muscle length does not change Isometric
when the central nervous system sends a message for the agonistic to contract, the tension in the antagonist is inhibited by impluses from motor neurons Reciprocal Inhibition
what is a contractile unit sarcomere
how can you measure a contractile unit (sarcomere) looking at the Z line
muscle condition involves spasms of the sternocleidomastoid muscles that could cause vertigo Torticollis
what condition is caused by collection of genetic dieseases characterized by the progressive atrophy of skeletal muscles w/out any indication of neural degeneration Muscle Dystrophy
what condition describes a decrease in the size of the muscle fibers or wasting away Atrophy
an injury of a muscle or tendon caused by violent contraction. strain
