Question
Answer
functions of muscular system   movement, posture, & heat production  
🗑
point of attachment that doesnt move   origin  
🗑
three types of muscle tissue   skeletal, cardiac, and smooth  
🗑
point of attachment that does move w/ contraction   insertion  
🗑
prime mover   agonist  
🗑
relaxes during contraction   antagonist  
🗑
muscle cells are called   muscle fibers  
🗑
name the layers of tissue in order   epimysium, perimysium, & endomysium  
🗑
muscular tissue order   muscle>fascicles>muscle fiber>myofibril>filaments  
🗑
excitability (irritability), contractility, & extensibility, had T tubules that extend across the sarcoplasm, muscle cells called fibers, muscle fibers contain lots of mitochondria & nuclei   Skeletal muscle  
🗑
composed of tapered cells w/ single nuclei, thick and thin myofilaments arranged differently (not organized into sarcomeres), no T tubules, & two types-Visceral muscle & Multiunit   Smooth muscle  
🗑
only in heart, contains parallel myofibrils, T tubules are larger and form diads w/ sarcoplamic reticulum, does not run low on ATP, does not experience fatigue, & is self-stimulating   Cardiac muscle  
🗑
segment of myofibril between two Z lines; each myofibril consists of many sarcomeres, contractile unit of muscle fibers   Sarcomere  
🗑
seperate muscle into small sections   perimysium  
🗑
bundles of skeletal muscle fibers   fasicles  
🗑
covers individual muscle fibers   endomysium  
🗑
mitchondria-cytoplasma   sacroplasma  
🗑
produce and stores calcium ions   sacroplastmic reticulum  
🗑
passes across the muscle transverse   t-tubule  
🗑
light and dark striations   myofilaments  
🗑
thin filament   actin  
🗑
thick filament   myosin  
🗑
functional unit of skeletal muscles   sarcomere  
🗑
small bundle or cluster of skeletal muscle fibers bound together by perimysium   Fasicicle  
🗑
fascicles   muscle cover  
🗑
muscle fibers   cell, round cylinder  
🗑
contraction mechanism   myofilaments  
🗑
collections of sarcomeres   muscle fibers  
🗑
double strands   actin  
🗑
single strands   myosin  
🗑
CT covering skeletal muscle fibers   Endomysium  
🗑
CT surrounding fascicles   Perimysium  
🗑
plasma membrane of a striated muscle fiber   Sarcolemma  
🗑
functional unit composed of a single motor neuron w/ muscle cells it innervates   Motor unit  
🗑
muscle fiber   Myofiber  
🗑
threadlike structures found in myofibrils composed of myosin (thick) & actin (thin)   Myofilament  
🗑
mechanism of muscle contraction and relaxation   sliding filament model  
🗑
functional unit of muscle tissue   sarcomere  
🗑
protein that forms tow fibrous strands twisted around each other to form bulk of thin filament   Actin  
🗑
thin band   I band  
🗑
thick band   H band  
🗑
overlaping thick and thin band   A band  
🗑
terminal point   Z line or disc  
🗑
what band remains the same?   A band  
🗑
a point where neuron and muscle comes together?   neuromuscular junction  
🗑
protein that holds tropomyosin molecules in place   Troponin  
🗑
Categories of muscles   Parallel, Convergent, Pennate, & Bipennate  
🗑
what releases from the synaptic knob or end bulbs?   acetylcholine  
🗑
to Kick a soccer ball, you use   quadriceps & gracillas  
🗑
to Smile, you use   orbicularis oris, zygomaticus major, & buccinator  
🗑
Perform sit-ups, you use   abdominal oblique  
🗑
occurs a few hours after death   Rigamortis  
🗑
this is necessary for muscle contraction and relaxation   ATP  
🗑
to Shrug shoulders, you use   trapezius & deltoid  
🗑
capable of developing greater forces, contracting faster and have greater anaerobic capacity   Fast-twitch fibers  
🗑
develop force slowly, can maintain contractions longer and have higher aerobic capacity   slow-twitch fibers  
🗑
neurotransmitter released at neuromuscular junction   Acetylcholine  
🗑
