major type of muscle in the body is

skeletal muscle

main function of skeletal muscle

to provide movement
(it is uninucleate, striated, and voluntary)

level of organization for muscle (largest to smallest)

muscle ---> fibers ---> myofibrils ---> myofilaments

types of myofilaments and their function

actin & myosin..slide past eachother for contraction

muscle fiber

the sarcomere is

the contractile unit of the muscle

thin filaments are

actin

thick filaments are

myosin

I band has

only actin

A band has

actin & myosin

H zone has only

myosin

Z line has

bisect I band, compose one sarcomere

sarcolemma is

the covering of each muscle fiber

sarcoplasm is

the cytoplasm of a muscle fiber

sarcosome is

the mitochondria of muscle tissue

muscle fiber

sarcoplasmic reticulum is

endoplasmic reticulum of muscle tissue

endomysium is

thin areolar connective tissue surrounding each individual fiber

perimysium

collagenic membrane surrounding bundle of fibers

epimysium

CT around entire muscle

deep fascia is

CT that binds muscles into functional groups

tendons connect

muscle to bone


(strong, rope like)

aponeuroses conenects

muscle to muscle or muscle to bone


(flat, sheet like)

origin is

fixed attachement of muscle

insertion

moveable attachment of muscle

neuromuscular junctions are found where

between nerve fibers and muscle cells

synaptic cleft is

the gap seperating neuron and muscle fiber

Neuromuscular junction

acetylcholine (ACh) leaves neuron --> goes to synaptic cleft --> and binds receptor on muscle sarcolemma --> ACh is then released --> sarcolemma channels then open --> K+ an Na+ flow across membrane --> ACTION POTENTIAL

Agonists

responsible for producing movement

Antagonists

oppose or reverse a movement, provides resistance

synergists

aid antagonists

fixators

specialized synergists, immobilize and allow you to pose

origin: Fascia of masseter muscle


insertion:skin at angle of mouth


actiion: draws corner of lip lateral

Risorius location

Buccinator

origin: molar region of maxilla&mandible


Insertion:orbicularis oris


action:draws corners of mouth


Buccinator location

mentalis

origin: madible below incisors


insertion: skin of chin


action: protrudes lower lip, wrinkles skin

mentalis location

masseter

origin: zygomatic arch


insertion:angle & ramus of mandible


action:elevate mandible

masseter location

temporalis

origin: temporal fossa


insertion: coronoid process of mandible


action: elevate & retract mandible

temporalis location
