3 types of muscle tissue
smooth, skeletal, cardiac
Muscle tissue is derived from which germ layer?
mesoderm
Cytoplasm
sarcoplasm
sarcolemma
plasma membrane
SER
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Linear unit
sarcomere
muscle cells
myofibers
Striated and voluntary, multinucleated
Skeletal Muscle
Myofibrils located in the ____ of muscle cells.
sarcoplasm
Distance between two Z disks
sacromere
Functional unit of myofibril
sacromere
Located at the middle of a sacromere and bisects A band
H-band
Bisects H-band
M-line
Light staining band
I-band (Isotropic Band)
Region where attachment of the ends of the actin filaments i adjacent sarcomeres occurs
Z disk
Network of cisterns and/or membranous tubules running between and around myofibrils
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Collars (at AI junctions) are separated by what?
T-Tubules
Function of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum?
Bind and release Calcium
What form the collars at A-I junctions?
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
What forms the T-Tubules?
Sarcolemma
T-tubule + 2 lateral cisternae of sarcoplasmic reticulum
Triad
Facilitates transmission of electrical impulse from sarcolemma to interior depths of cell
Triad
Two triads/sacromere located at which junctions?
A-I
What polmerizes to form two helically wound strands of F (fibrous) actin?
G (Globular) Actin
Myosin made of how many chains?
4 light, 2 heavy
Which meromysosin is rigid?
light
What is helically wound along grooves of F-actin helix?
Tropomyosin
Of the Troponin Complex what do the subunits do?
TnT
TnC
TnI
TnT = binds entire troponin molecular to tropomyosin
TnC= great affinity for Ca
TnI: binds to actin, preventing actin-myosin interactions
What happens when Ca binds to TnC?
Myosin binding sites are exposed
What protein extends from each half of a myosin filament to the Z-disk to help positions myosin filaments?
Titan
What non-elastic protein help anchor thin filament (actin) to Z-disk?
Nebulin
Which CT separates muscles fibers?
Endomysium
Which CT separates bundles ofmuscle fibers (fasicles)?
Perimysium
Which CT surrounds entire muscle?
Epimysium
Name 3 types of skeletal muscle fibers
Red, White and Intermediate
Which type of skeletal muscle fibers are numerous in mito and contract slow but are not easily tired?
Red
Large arteries in the muscles follow?
Perimysium
What consist of small specialized muscle fibers (Intrafusal cells) enclosed in a connective tissue capsule?
Muscle Spindles
What spindle shaped body enclosed by a capsule and comprised of collagen is sensitive to stretching forces on the tendon?
Golgi Tendon Organ
Which type of fibers penetrate between the collagen of a golgi tendon organ?
Sensory/nerve fibers
The myelin sheath of the axon is lost as the nerve fiber approaches the surface of muscle cell in...
motor end plate
Where are synaptic vesicles located and what do they contain?
In axon terminals and contain acetylcholine
What are secondary synaptic clefts formed by infloding of sarcolemma?
subneural apparatus
What differentiates cardiac muscle from skeletal?
Intercalated disks, involuntary, less developed sarcoplasmic reticulum, single nucleus/cell and nucleous located at center of cell
What do intercalated disks mark?
spots of cell-to-cell attachments, where a Z disk would be
How are T-tubules different in cardiac muscle?
Larger and located at Z lines instead of at A-I junctions
T-tubule + a terminal portion of adjacent sarcoplasmic reticulum
Diad
What are specialized muscles cells that function in conduction and thus contraction of the heart?
Purkinje fibers
What makes smooth muscle different from cardiac and skeletal?
No striations and no T-tubules
What serve as anchor sites for actin-myosin interactions as well as intermediate filaments (vimentin; desmin) in smooth muscle?
Dense Bodies
What do dense bodies contain?
alpha actinin
What probably play the role of the T-tubules found in skeletal and cardiac muscle and may work in concert with sarcoplasmic reticulum to modulate Ca++ availability?
Caveolae of smooth muscle
Smooth muscle contraction is _____ than cardiac or skeletal and requires ___ energy.
slower and less
