Name the 4 types of muscle
Skeletal, Intrafusal, Cardiac and Smooth
Skeletal Muscle features
1. polynuclei
2. ribbon shape/long
3. side to side FCT
4. resp. for contraction
Intrafusal Muscle features
1. short, single nuclei
2. sensory nerve receptors
3. resp. for degree of stretch
Cardiac muscle
1. rectangle shaped, single nuclei
2. interdig. membranes, intercalated discs
3. side by side FCT
4. contract HEART
Smooth Muscle
1. small spindle shaped
2. side by side FCT
3. contract blood vessels, resp. airways, G.I. Tract, internal organs
fascia
dense tissue surrounds GROUPS of skeletal muscles
epimysium
dense tissue surrounds individual skeletal muscles
fascicles
within an ind. skeletal muscles, organized into BUNDLES
perimysium
dense tissue connective tissue that surrounds the fasicles
endomysium
dense tissue surrounds individual skeletal muscle cells (intra. muscle cells are attached in parallel to groups of one or more skeletal muscle cells
sarcolemma
plasma membrane
sarcoplasmic reticulum
muscle cell's reticulum, connects with transverse tubules to provide action potentials/receive messages
motor end plate
specialized region where neuron signals are received
sarcoplasm
cell's cytoplasm
myofibrils
interior protein fibers composed of myofilaments (Actin and Myosin)
transverse tubules
invaginations of the sarcolemma
sacromeres
groups of proteins (Actin-Myosin-Myosin-Actin) form functional units for muscle shortening
A band
thick Myosin filaments visible
I band
thin Actin filaments visible
M line
the junction between Myosin and zones of overlap
Z line
junction between thin filaments (adjacent)Actin
Zone of overlap
region where thick & thin filaments (Myosin and Actin respectively) overlap
neuromuscular junction components
motor end plate & axon terminals
sliding filament mechanism components
(actin chain, myosin chain) sacromere, transverse tubules, sarcoplasmic reticulum
Actin Chain Characteristics
1. round actin molecules
2. active sites- binding sites
3. tropomyosin- protein chain parallels the actin chain and covers actin sites
4. troponin- protein binds to both actin and tropomyosin
Myosin Chain Characteristics
1. helical array of molecules
2. globular heads (cross bridges)- end of myosin molecule that projects away from the center
3. ADP and phosphate- bound to cross bridges (the cross bridge acts as an ATPase, breaks down ATP and stores energy)
transverse tubules during sliding filament mechanism
in connection with sarcoplemma, conducts action potential (voltage open and close of Na gates) from the sarcolemma toward the reticulum
sarcoplasmic reticulum
stores calcium by a way of calcium ion pump
steps in generating action potential
1. sarcolemma excitable membrane or electrical impulse
2. depolarization
3. neurotransmitter binds to receptors on motor end plate and opens the chemically gated channels
conduction steps in action potentials
1. action potential travels through way of transverse tubules to sar. reticulum
2. influx of Na ions leads to OPEN and CLOSE of voltage gates
3. the open and closing of the sodium channels along the membrane is the ACTION potential
Calcium
1. A.P. actives openings of Ca channels in sacrolemma, releasing stored Calcium
2. Ca binds to Troponin molecule, moving the complex and "exposing" active sites
3. globular head (cross bridges) pivots toward sacromere, ADP and phosphate is released
4. cross bridges detach w/myosin head binds another molecule
5. free myosin head breaks down the ATP, retaining the ADP and phosphate, stores the energy
6. myosin crosses the bridges bind to the active sites and the cycle repeats until calcium concentration returns to NORMAL
origin
end of muscle that anchors
insertion
end of the muscle that moves
agonist
part of the muscle that CAUSES a movement
antagonist
part of the muscle that causes the OPPOSITE movement
scalp muscles of facial expression
1. raise eyebrow
2. tense scalp
eye muscles of facial expression
1. close eyes
mouth muscles of facial expression
1. elevate/depress lips
2. protrude lips
3. depress angle
4. compress lips/cheeks
5. mouth to side/back up
raise eyebrow, frontalis
