Question
Answer
What are the Muscular system functions?   movement maintain posture respiration production of body heat communication heart beat contraction of organs and vessels  
🗑
Types of muscles (3)   skeletal cardiac smooth  
🗑
Ablities of Skeletal Muscles (4)   Contractility (ablitily to shorten) Excitablitiy (respond to stimulus) Extensibility (ablilty to strench) Elasticity (ablilty to recoil)  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle Characteristics   Makes up 40% of body weight Many named after for bones attached to many nuclei per cell longest of muscles types striated  
🗑
Skeletal Muscles Structures-Connective Tissues Coverings   Layers of dense connective tissues, called fascic, surround and seperate each muscle. This connective tissues extends beyond the ends of the muscle and give rise to tendos that are fused to the periostem of bones  
🗑
Epimysium or Fascia   Connective tissue that surrounds entire skeletal muscle(outside)  
🗑
Muscle fascicles   bundles of muscle fibers  
🗑
Perimysium   Connective tissue around each muscle fascicles  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle Structures-muscle Fiber Structure   A muscle(cell fiber is a single cylindrical fiber with many nuclei \the cell membrane is called the sarcolemma  
🗑
Sarcoplam   cytoplasm of muscle fiber(cell)  
🗑
T-tubules(transerve)   tube-like invaginations, at regular intervals, extend inward, connect sarcolemma to sarcoplasim reticulum  
🗑
Sarcoplasmic reticulum   highlu organized smooth ER, stores and releases Ca+2 ions  
🗑
Myofibril   thread-like structures that extend from one end of muscles fibers to other  
🗑
Myofibrils (two major kinds)   actin, myosin  
🗑
Actin & myosin are arragned by:   highly ordered, repeating units ca;;ed sacromeres (transverse straiations)  
🗑
Actin   thin myofilament,resemble 2 strands of perals  
🗑
Troponin   attachment site on actin for ca+2  
🗑
tropomyosin   filament on grooves of actin, attachment site on actin for myosin  
🗑
myosin   thick myofilament,resemble golf club with myosin heads can bind to actin bend/staighten, use atp  
🗑
saromere   dmsllrdy portions of muscles able to contract, contains actin and myosin. each saromere extend from one Z disk to the next Z disk  
🗑
Z disk   attachment site fo actin arragement of actin and myosin(overlaps) give myofibiril braided or straited aperaance  
🗑
H zone   center of sarcomere, contains only myosin  
🗑
I band   contains only actin  
🗑
A band   where atctin and myosin overlkap  
🗑
M line   where myosin are anchored  
🗑
Muscle fibers   hvae electrial propers inside cell membrance s negatively chraged compared to outside membrane is polarized resting membrane potentila is the charge difference occurs due to an uneve distribution of ions across the cell membrane  
🗑
   
🗑
   
🗑


   

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.
