Name the properties of muscles
excitability
contactility
elasticity
extensibility
When a stimulus from the environment results in electrical nerve impulse that stimulates the muscle cell to contract it is an example of what type of muscle property
excitability
A muscle fibers ability to return to its original length when the tension of contraction is released is an example of what type of muscle property
Elasticity
When a muscle can extend in length in response to the contraction of an opposing muscle it is an example of what type of muscle property
Extensibility
this type of muscle property relates to flexion and extension
extensibility
this type of muscle cell is long and cylindrical
skeletal muscle
neurons that stimulate contraction are called?
motor neurons
This type of muscle cell is multinucleated
Skeletal muscle cell
This type of muscle cell can be as long as the entire muscle
skeletal muscle cell
This type of muscle cell is relatively short, wide in the middle, and tapered at the ends. ( fusiform)
smooth muscle
where are branching cells (Y shaped) located?
Cardiac Muscle
This type of cardiac cell bifurcates
braching cells ( Y shaped)
in which muscle type can intercalated discs be found
cardiac
These structures allow rapid passage of electrical current from one cell to the next during each heart beat.
intercalated discs
this type of muscle is striated and involuntary
cardiac
which muscle groups includes sphinters (circular muscle bands)?
skeletal muscle tissue
Myofibrils are composed of what two contractile proteins.
thin filaments of actin
thick filaments of myosin
What is the innermost connective tissue layer of a muscle?
Endomysium
What is Endomyium made of?
areolar connective tissue
Which type of connective tissue layer covers each muscle fascicle?
Perimysium
What is perimysium made of?
dense irregular connective tissue
Which connective tissue layer contains extensive arrays of blood vessels and nerves called neurovascular bundles?
The Perimysium
which connective layers covers the entire skeletal muscle
Epimysium
This separates individual muscles
deep fascia
This binds muscles with similar function
deep fascia
At the end of a muscle what merges to form a fibrous tendon
the connective tissue layers
This is a broad flat tendon that attaches muscle to muscle
aponeurosis
what is the plasma membrane of a skeletal muscle fibers
sarcolemma
What is the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle fiber?
sarcoplasm
What is the smooth ER of a skeletal muscle
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Deep invaginations of the sarcolemma that extend into the sarcoplasm
T-tubules
These are blind sacs at the end of the sarcoplasmic reticulum
terminal cisternae
these are embryonic skeletal muscle cells with one nucleus
myoblasts
these have the ability to shorten, which equals muscle contraction and the production of motion
myofibrils
where are myofibrils located?
sarcoplasm
Myofibrils are made of what?
myofilaments
what are the two types of myfilaments?
thin - actin
thick - myosin
Thin filaments arr comprised of what two strands of molecules twisted around each other?
G- actin
F-actin
what two regulatory proteins are also part of thin filaments
tropomyosin
troponin
this protein provides a binding site for calcium ions
troponin
this type of molecule has a head and elongated tail
Myosin ( thick filaments)
what do the heads of the myosin form during muscle contraction
crossbridges with the thin filaments
these are the dark bands that contain the entire myosin molecule and an overlapping portion of actin
A bands
The light bands that contain thin filaments but not thick filaments
I bands
this bands contains the protein titin
I bands
what is the functional contractile unit in a skeletal muscle fiber
sacromere
What happens to the width of the A band when the muscle contracts
it remains constant
What happens to the H band during muscle contraction
it disappears
what three structures of the muscle shorten/ narrow when the muscle contracts
Sacromere
H zone
I band
what is the motor nervous system responsible for
transmitting motor impulses from the CNS to muscles and glands
which division of the motor nervous system is involuntary
autonomic
the region where the motor neuron comes in close proximity to the muscle fiber
neuromuscular junction
