exclusively makes up the heart, involuntary, elongated and highly branched, autorhythmic, have intercalated discs (thickening of the membrane between cells that contain gap junctions)

since charged particles do not readily pass through muscle cell membranes, what has to happen to get it through
a protein doorway has to be opened
muscle cells will always be more _______ inside and more_______ outside.

the most abundant ion outside a muscle cell is

whenever a cell has a difference in charge across its membrane we say the cell has_________________
membrane potential
the movement of charged particles(ions) is an
electrical current
a cell with a difference in charge has...
membrane potential
what needs to happen in order for the sodium ions to get into the cell
a sodium ion channel needs to be opened on the membrane
whenever anything goes from a very high concentration to a low concentration __________ is generated
Energy
when sodium ions fly into the cell________ is generated
energy because the Na+ is going from an area of high concentration to low concentration
the rolling open of sodium ion channels from the E that is created from the initial sodium ion channel being opened is called
action potential
E is self perpetuated after
the first sodium ion channel has been opened
The rolling open of the sodium ion channels around a muscle cell membrane is called an
action potential
what causes a muscle cell to contract
the action potential running around the muscle cell
no membrane potential equals
no action potential
what opens the first sodium ion channel
sometimes by a nerve or a hormone, and sometimes it can open all by itself because it is autorhythmic
the first sodium ion channel in skeletal muscle is typically opened via
a nerve
the first sodium ion channel in multiunit smooth muscle is always open with
a nerve
the first sodium ion channel in cardiac muscle is opened
autorhythmically
they open their own
the first sodium ion channel in visceral smooth is typically opened
autorythmically or hormonally
the question...how does a muscle control its contraction means...
how do they open their first sodium ion channel to start their action potential
a muscle cell with contract forcefully in response to an action potential is
contractility
two types of contractility
isotonic and isometric
when muscles contract and they shorten it is called
isotonic contractility
when muscles contract and they become tense without shortening it is called
isometric contractility
when a muscle can be streched be without damaging it that is called
extensibility
whenver you shorten one muscle you have to _____________ another to accomodate the shortening of the first
stretch
the ability of a muscle to return back to its original shape after it has been streched is referred to as
elasticity
4 important properties of muscle tissue
electrically excitable
contractility
extensibility
elasticity
name the strongest contraction possible
complete or fused tetanus
two ways muscle contractions are controlled
number and size of motor units recruited (how many individual muscle cells are cntracted) and the frequency of stimulation
