WVSOM: Muscle TIssue

        Help!  

Question
Answer
3 connective tissue sheaths associated with muscle (from out to in)   Epimysium, parimysium, endomysium  
🗑
Dark bands are made up of?   Thick fliaments, A-band, myosin filaments  
🗑
Light bands are made up of?   Thin filament, I-bands, F-actin chains  
🗑
How fibers move during contraction   Sliding motion over one another  
🗑
Composition of M-line   binding protiens, creatine kinase and myomesin  
🗑
Which bands reduce in contraction   H-bands and I-bands  
🗑
What are the two types of muscle fibers   Type I (Red) and Type II (white)  
🗑
Characterisitcs of type I (red) muscle   high myoglobin, highly vascular, lots of mitochondria, slow endurance, resistant to fatigue  
🗑
Location of Type I muscle   postural muscles of cervical and lumbar regions and higher levels of upper and lower limbs  
🗑
Characteristics of Type II (white) muscle   Low myoglobin, few mitochondria, low vascularity, easyily fatigued, fast movement, precise actions  
🗑
Location of type II   eye muscles, but mixes with type I  
🗑
3 components of a motor unit   motor nueron, muscle fibers innervated by a single motor nueron and nueromuscluar junctions  
🗑
What is a muscle spindle   a sensory receptor  
🗑
what does a muscle spindle sense/detect   muscle tension and stretch  
🗑
what are muscle spindles composed of   intrafusal fibers  
🗑
what type of tissue surround muslce spindles   dense irregular  
🗑
3 types of muscle   cardiac, skeletal, and smooth  
🗑
Describe Cardiac muscle   striated, single nucleus in the center of the cell, and branched. Involuntary and have intercalated disks  
🗑
Describe skeletal muscle   striated, longer than caridac, multiple nuclei on edge of cell  
🗑
Describe Smooth muscle   not striated, cigar shaped nuclei, single central nucleus  
🗑
What is an intercalated disk   found in cardiac cells, bind cells together so that they work as a unit  
🗑
what tyoe of cell adhesions are found in an intercalated disk   zonula adherens and desmosomes link the cell together, while gap junctions exist on lateral aspects  
🗑
What are purkinge fibers   cells that are 4-5 times the size of a normal cell, found in the interventricula space, and relay information very fast  
🗑
What are Nodal fibers   found in SA and AV nodes, set basic rhythum for the heart, smaller than normal cells  
🗑
What are dense bodies   found in smooth muscle, serve much like Z-disks to help anchor filaments using a-actinin  
🗑
Which muscle tissue is mitotically active? Give an example   smooth, menstral cycle  
🗑
Can the regeneration of smooth muscle become pathological   YES  
🗑
what cells are important for the formation of skeletal muscle   satellite cells  
🗑
What is Rhabdomyoma   benign tumor of skeletal muscle  
🗑
What is Leiomyosarcoma   malignant tumor of smooth muscle  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
