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

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
|
