Three Types of Muscles
Skeletal Muscle
Smooth
Cardiac
Skeletal Muscle

Striated and Voluntary
Generally attatched to the bone because skeletal muscle can be controlled by choice, appear striped, striated
Smooth Muscle

Non Striated and INVoluntary
Found in the walls of viscera wall such as stomach, sometimes called visceral muscles. Also found in tubes, breathing passages and blood vessels. Functions automatically and is called an involuntary muscle
Cardiac Muscles

Striated and InVoluntary
Found in heart,
Must be supplied by a somatic motor nerve
skeletal muscle
Contains intercalated discs
Cardiac muscle
Attatched to boned
Skeletal Muscle
Only type of muscle that is Non striated
Smooth
Aponeurosis

from apo- + neuron sinew — more at nerve
a broad flat sheet of dense fibrous collagenous connective tissue that covers, invests, and forms the terminations and attachments of various muscles
Fascicles

a small bundle
small bundles of muscle fibers
Tetanus

sustained muscle contraction and / muscle does not relax
prolonged contraction of a muscle resulting from a series of motor impulses following one another too rapidly to permit intervening relaxation of the muscle
Origin

attatchement to a more Stationary Bone
the more fixed, central, or larger attachment of a muscle—
Insertion

muscle attatchment to a more moveable bone
the part of a muscle by which it is attached to the part to be moved
Recruitment
Refers to the increase in muscle contraction due to the stimulation of additional muscle fibers
Tendon

cordlike structure that attatches muscle to bone
a tough cord or band of dense white fibrous connective tissue that unites a muscle with some other part, transmits the force which the muscle exerts, and is continuous with the connective-tissue epimysium and perimysium of the muscle and when inserted into a bone with the periosteum of the bone
Acetylcholine

NMJ

Neurotransmitter at the Neuromuscular joint
active in the transmission of nerve impulses, and formed enzymatically in the tissues from choline
Axon terminal
location of vesicles that store the neurotransmitter
Acetylcholinesterase

ERASE
The enzyme that terminates the effects of the neurotransmitter at the NMJ
Myosin

Thick fillament
Muscle protein that interacts with actin to cause muscle contraction
Actin

Thin fillament
Contractile protein within muscle also called thin fillament
Sarcomere
A contractile unit of a muscle extending from zline to z line; contains contractile proteins actin and myosin
Transverse Tubule
An extension of the muscle cell membrane that Penetrates into the Interior of the muscle; the electrical signal runs along the membrane toward the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Sarcoplasmic reticulum

Calcium is stored
The specialized endoplasmic reticulum of cardiac muscle and skeletal striated muscle that functions especially as a storage and release area for calcium
calcium
released by the Sarcoplasmic reticulum to allow for interaction between actin and myosin
Energy source for muscle contraction
ATP
Sacrcomere shortening occurs when myosin slides past this contractile protein
Actin
Refers to the inability of actin an myiosin to disconnect following death
Rigor Mortis
Vastus
the division of the quadriceps muscle that covers the outer anterior aspect of the femur, arises chiefly from the femur, and inserts into the outer border of the patella by a flat tendon which blends with that of the other divisions of the muscle and sends an expansion to the capsule of the knee—called also vastus externus
Brevus
