74 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Excitability
Produces an action potential that allows muscles to contract
Contractility
Ability to shorten
Extensibility
Ability to stretch without being damaged
Elasticity
Ability to return to normal state and original length after shortening & stretching
Epimysium
Dense irregular connective tissue that is the outer wrapping of fascia of muscle
Endomysium
Sheath of areolar connective tissue that's inside fasicles, separates each fiber from one another
Perimysium
Dense irregular connective tissue that routes around individual pockets inside muscle called fasicles
Sarcolemma
Plasma membrane of muscle cell
Sarcoplasm
The cytoplasm of muscle fiber
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
A fluid-filled system of membranous sacs that encircles each myofibril
Myofibril
Contractile Organelles of skeletal muscle, proteins that make up muscle fibers
Actin
Thin Filaments main component, anchored to Z discs,contractile protein
Myosin
Contractile Protein that functions as a motor protein in all types of muscle tissue
Elastin
A protein that allows tissues to resume shape after stretching or contracting
Troponin
Reglatory protein that is part of thin filament, holds tropomyosin in place
T-Tubule
Transverse Tubule, inward extensions of sarcolemma, action potentials travel through them, and they have calcium stored
Calmodulin
Regulatory protein that binds to Calcium in cytosol and activates myosin light chain kinase
Sarcomere
Basic functional unit of myofibril. Is the distance between one Z disc to the next.
I band
Lighter band, thin filaments, go into next sarcomere, composed of actin, troponin, and tropomyosin
A Band
Dark band, thick filiaments, composed of myosin molecules
Z Disc
Separates one sacromere from the next
Neuromuscular Junction
Where a somatic motor neuron and skeletal muscle fiber meet
Synaptic Knob
Adjacent to the cleft, when nerve impulses reach knob a neurotransmitter is released from vesicle to synapse.
Synaptic Cleft
Separates 2 cells
Myogram
A graphic description of velocity and intensity of muscular contraction
Muscle Twitch
The simplest contraction, a single response to a single stimulus
Incomplete Tetanus
Caused when a contraction to be iniated when the muscle has only partly relaxed from previous contraction
Tetanus
Sustained contraction caused by continuous stimulus
Treppe
We use this to warm up muscles before exercising
Muscle Tone
Partial contraction of large muscles, particularly to provide posture
Isotonic Contraction
Tension remains the same but length shortens
Isometric Contraction
Length remains the same, but tension increases, no work is completed
List 5 Functions of MUSCULAR TISSUE
1. Movement
2. Posture
3. Body Heat
4. Storing and moving substances within the body
Types of Fasicles
Parallel
Pennate
Bipennate
Unipennate
Multipennate
Covergent
Circular
Parallel
Muscle is usually linear in shape. Ex: Sternocleidomastoid
Pennate
Fair-like in arrangement, a central tendon in muscle with fasicles extending out like a feather.
Uni Pennate
Arranged on 1 side. EX: Extensor Digitorum Longus
Multipennate
Attach obliquely from many directions. Ex: Deltoid
Convergent
Triangular in shape, fasicles come to a shape. Ex: Pectoralis Major
Flexor
Muscles that bend or flex a joint
Extensor
Muscles that extend or straighten a joint
Abductor
Muscles that move a body part away from the midline
Adductor
Muscles that move a body part towards the midline
Rotator
Works a pivot joint, rotates a bone around its longitudinal axis
Supinator
Turns palms anteriorly
Pronator
Turns palms posteriorly
