Question
Answer
what are three types of muscle tissue?   skeletal, smooth, and cardiac  
🗑
skeletal muscle   voluntary with stripes, ex. bone  
🗑
smooth muscle   involuntary without stripes, ex. walls of hallow organs  
🗑
cardiac muscle   involuntary with stripes, ex. heart  
🗑
what are the function of muscle tissue?   movement, maintenance of posture, joint stabilization, and heat generation  
🗑
what are the three functional features?   contractility, excitability, extensibility, and elasticity  
🗑
contractility   muscles cells shorten and generate pulling force  
🗑
excitability   electrical nerve impulse stimulate the muscle cell to contract  
🗑
elasticity   can recoil passively after being stretched, resume resting length  
🗑
sarcolemma   plasma membrane  
🗑
cytoplasm   sarcroplasm  
🗑
what are the three connective tissue binds with skeletal muscles and its fiber together?   epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium  
🗑
epimysium   dense regular connective tissue surrounding entire muscle  
🗑
perimysium   surrounds each fascicle (groups of muscle fibers)  
🗑
endomysium   a fine sheath of connective tissue wrapping each muscle fiber  
🗑
each skeletal muscle supplied by branches of...   one nerve, one artery, and one or more veins  
🗑
origin   less movable attachment  
🗑
insertion   more movable attachment  
🗑
fleshy attachments   connective tissue fibers are short  
🗑
indirect attachments   connective tissue forms a tendon or aponeurosis (flat tendon)  
🗑
sarcromeres   a long row of repeating segments, ex. Z disc (Z line), thin (actin) filaments, and thick (myosin) fliaments  
🗑
Z disc (Z line)   boundaries of each sarcromere, where the cell membrane connect each other  
🗑
thin (actin) filament   extend from Z disc toward the center of the sarcromere  
🗑
thick (myosin) filament   located in the center of the sarcromere  
🗑
A bands   full length of the thick filament, includes inner end of thin filament  
🗑
H zone   center part of A band where no thin filament occur  
🗑
M line   in center of H zone, contain tiny rod that hold thick filaments together  
🗑
I band   region with only thin filament, lies within two adjacent sarcromeres  
🗑
what are the three types of skeletal muscle fibers?   slow oxidative fibers (Type I), fast glycolytic fiber (Type IIx), and fast oxidative fibers (Type IIa)  
🗑
slow oxidative fibers (Type I)   red color due to abundant mygobbin obtain energy from aerobic metabolic reactions contain a large number of mitochondria richly supplied with cappilaries contract slowly and resistant to fatigue fibers are smaller in diameter  
🗑
fast glycolytic fiber (Type IIx)   contain little myoglobin and few mitochondria about twice the diameter of slow-oxidative fiber contain more myofilaments and generate more power depend on anaerobic pathways contract rapidly and tire quickly  
🗑
fast oxidative fibers (Type IIa)   have a an intermediate diameter contract quickly like fast glycolytic fibers are oxygen-dependent have high myogglobin content and rich supply of capillaries somewhat fatigue-resistant more powerful than slow-oxidative fibers  
🗑


   

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.
