Question
Answer
3 Connective tissue components   Endomysin, Perimysium, Epimysium  
🗑
specialized skeletal muscle cells/fibers covered by a delicate connective tissue membrane called   Endomysin  
🗑
fascicles are bound together by a tough connective tissue envelope called   Perimysium  
🗑
The muscle as a whole are covered by a coarse sheath called   Epimysium  
🗑
a strong tough cord continuous at its other end with the fibrous periosteum covering a bone   tendon  
🗑
fibrous wrapping of a muscle may extend as a broad, flat sheet of connective tissue which usually merges with the fibrous wrappings of another muscle   aponeurosis  
🗑
general term for the fibrous connective tissue found under the skin and surrounding many deeper organs, including skeletal muscles and bones   fascia  
🗑
Tube-shaped structures of fibrous connective tissue that enclose certain tendons, notably those of the wrist and ankle   tendon sheaths  
🗑
6 muscle shapes   parallel, convergent, pennate, fusiform, spiral, circular  
🗑
vary in length,straplike muscles with parallel fascicles, sartorius muscle and rectus abdominis are examples   parallel  
🗑
radiate out from a small to a wider point of attachment, like the blades in a fan. example: pectoralis major muscle   convergent  
🗑
muscles with a“feather-like” appearance   pennate  
🗑
have fascicles that may be close to parallel in the center (thick in the middle), converge to a tendon at one or both ends. example: brachioradialis   fusiform  
🗑
have fibers that twist between their points of attachment, example: latisumus dorsi   spiral  
🗑
muscles that are circle body tubes or openings. examples: orbicularis oris around the mouth   circular  
🗑
point of attachment that does not move when the muscle contracts   orgin  
🗑
the point of attachment that moves when the muscle contracts   insertion  
🗑
muscles that function as joint stabilizers. help maintain posture or balance   fixator  
🗑
What are the criteria for naming muscles   location, function, shape, size, direction of fibers, number of divisions, points of attachement  
🗑
Functions of muscles   movement, heat, posture  
🗑
protective sheath, plasma membrane connections between sacromeres   sarcolemma  
🗑
the cytoplam of the plasma membrane of a muscle fiber   sarcoplasm  
🗑
bundles of very fine cytoskeletal filaments that extend lengthwise along skeletal muscle fibers, fill the sarcoplasm, cylindrical structures that carry out contraction   myofibrils  
🗑
Myofibrils are made up of still fine fibers called   myofilaments  
🗑
2 types of myofilaments   thick and thin  
🗑
a segment of the myofibril between two successive Z lines,functions as a contractile unit, make up miofibrils   sarcomeres  
🗑
four different kinds of protein molecules make up myofilaments:   myosin, actin, tropomysin, tropin  
🗑
The thin myofilaments are made of a combination of three proteins:   actin, tropomyosin, troponin  
🗑
anchor for myofibrils and separates one sarcomere from the next   Z line  
🗑
Injuries (tearing or stretching) to skeletal muscles caused by overexertion or trauma usually result in   muscle strain  
🗑
If an injury occurs in the area of a joint and a ligament is damaged, the injury is a   sprain  
🗑
3 types of muscle   cardiac, smooth, skeletal  
🗑
where is smooth muscle found   walls of all hollow organs of the body  
🗑
another name for skeletal muscle   striated  
🗑
thick filaments are composed of what protein   myosin  
🗑
thin filaments are composed of what proteins?   actin, troponin, tropmyosin  
🗑
in the resting state, Ca is stored in what part of the muscle fiber   sacroplasmic reticulum  
🗑
what does Ca bind to?   troponin of thin filaments  
🗑
when troponin and Ca bind they stimulate what   interaction between actin and myosin reulting in sacromere contraction  
🗑
what role does ATP have in muscle contraction?   pumps Ca back  
🗑
