layer covering fasicles
Perimesium
layer covering sarcolemas of individual muscle fibers
Endomesium
Cord like that fuses muscle to bone
tendon
Sheet like that fuses muscle to bone
aponeuroses
name of plasma membrane of a muscle
Sarcolemma
name of cytoplasm of a muscle
sarcoplasm
contractile fibers of muscles
Myofibrils
o2 storage pigment inside muscle
myoglobin
special type of smooth ER in muscles
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Sacs in the sarcoplasmic reticulum that serve as calcium storage
Cisterns
invaginations that extend from the sarcolemma down into the interior of the cell
T-Tubules
point of contact between axon ending of a motor neuron and the motor end plate
Neuromuscular junction
Synaptic vessicles in axon are filled with a neurotransmitter called
Asetylcholine (ACh)
Gap between the axon ending and motor end plate
Synaptic Cleft
Areas on the motor end plate that receive the acetylcholine:
ACh Receptors
The binding of ACh to the receptors triggers a
Muscle Impulse
A muscle impulse causes:
Ca+ ions to be released from the cisterns from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
An enzyme embedded in the motor end plate that degrades ACh to acetate and choline
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
Contractile fibers made of protein that lie parallel to eachother and extend the entire length of the cell:
Myofibrils
Myofibrils are made up of:
Myofilaments
3 types of myofilaments
Thick
Thin
Elastic
Name of thick myofilament
Myosine
Name of thin myofilament
Actin
Name of elastic myofilament
titin
2 types of proteins associated with Actin
Troponin
and
Topomyosin
Anchors thick filaments to Z discs
Elastic Filaments (Titin)
Myofibrils are organized into a series of repeating units called
Sacromeres
region between 2 Z discs
Z- Lines
Length of myosine
A-Band
Length between myosine
H-zone
Length from myosin to myosin
I band
portion of thick filament that projects towards thin filaments
Myosin Heads
When myosin heads bind to thin filaments (when muscles contract) they form:
Rigor Bonds
When myosin heads are at rest they are charged with:
ATP
An enzyme embedded in the myosin head
Myosin ATPase
ATPase splits ATP (hydrolosis) to:
ADP and a Phosphate Group
ATP hydrolysis during muscle contraction causes the following to occur:
Breaks Rigor Bonds
and
Recharges Myosin Heads
Thin Filaments (Actin) is made up of 2 proteins called:
Troponin
and
Tropomyosin
Binding sites on the thin filaments for myosin heads are called:
Myosin Binding Sites (MBS)
This protein covers the Myosin Binding Sites (MBS)
Tropomyosin
Tropomyosin shifts off troponin when:
Ca+ ions bind to troponin
Ca+ ions are released from the cisterns of the sarcoplasmic reticulum
the cisterns of the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Ca+ Ions bind to
Troponin
One the rigor bond forms, the myosin heads swivel forward called a:
Power stroke
One the rigor bond forms and the myosin head swivels:
ADP and Phosphate fall off the myosin head
Relaxation:
Acetate and choline are recycled to:
Acetylcholine (ACh)
Relaxation:
ATP Breaks the:
Rigor Bonds
Relaxation:
How do the filaments slide back to their resting position:
ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP +P by ATPase
Shifting back of tropomyosin to cover the troponin is caused by:
Ca+ ions falling off troponin
Condition known as muscles stiffening after death:
Rigor Mortis
Rigor Mortis shows that:
ATP is necessary for breaking of Rigor Bonds.
An autoimmune disease in which the muscle fails to respond to nerve stimulus:
Myasthenia Gravis
2 types of muscle contractions:
Isotonic
and
Isometric
Type of muscle contraction that changes in length as it contracts to move a load:
Isotonic
2 types of Isotonic Contractions:
Concentric
Eccentric
Isotonic contraction that the muscle shortens as it does work:
Concentric
Isotonic contraction that the muscle lengthens as it does work:
Eccetric
Type of contraction where the muscle exerts a force as it contracts, but does not shorten
(Muscle produces tension against a load)
Isotmetric
2 types of Muscle Respose to Stimulus:
Twitch
Tetany
Applying a single stimulus and the muscle contracts once:
Twitch
State of a sustained muscle contraction, where the muscle contracts without relaxing:
Tetany
Firmness to a relaxed muscle is known as:
Muscle Tone
Exercises lasting 10 minutes or longer
Aerobic
Optimal strength and durance come from a blend of endurance and resistive exercise known as
Cross Training
wasting away of muscle
Disuse Atrophy
where are androgen's produced in males
Testes, and Adrenal Glands
