Front 1

Basic tissue is responsible for locomotion of the individual, movement of various parts of t the body

Back 1

Muscle tissue

Front 2

Are often referred as muscle fibers; individually enveloped by basal lamina

Sarcosomes

Front 7

3 types of muscle cells (fibers)

Back 7

1. Skeletal

2. Smooth

3. Cardiac

Front 8

Contains bundles of very long, multinucleated cells with cross-striations

Back 8

Skeletal muscle

Front 9

Name 2 muscle that are voluntary

Back 9

1. Skeletal

2. Smooth

Front 10

Collection of numerous muscle fibers that are arranged in groups

Back 10

Bundles of fascicle

Front 11

Bundles of fascicle is enveloped by a tough dense irregular connective tissue called...

Back 11

Epimysium

Front 12

Each of the fasicles that compromise a muscle is, in turn encased by connective tissue called... ; Where nerve fibers and blood vessel occurs

Back 12

Perimysium

Front 13

The numerous muscle fibers that comprise a muscle fassicle are also individually wrapped and supported, external to their basal lamina, a delicate connective tissue called... Where the extracellular fibers are mainly reticular fibers

Back 13

Endomysium

Front 14

Myofibril is actually made up of small contractile units called

Back 14

Sarcomeres

Front 15

Refers to the regions that spans two z-lines and is about 1.5 to 2 um long in a resting muscle

Back 15

Sarcomere

Front 16

Occupy the middle zone of sacromere

Back 16

Thick filaments

Front 17

Occupy the peripheral zones of sacromere

Back 17

Thin filaments

Front 18

Proteins in muscle filaments

Back 18

1. Actin

2. Tropomyosin

3. Troponin

4. Myosin

Front 19

Types of skeletal muscle fibers

Back 19

1. Red muscle fibers

2. White muscle fibers

3. Intermediate muscle fibers

Front 20

Smaller and have richer blood supply; has more mitochondria, glycogen granules and myoglobin

Back 20

Red muscle fibers

Front 21

A.k.a "fast twitch muscle fibers". They contract faster and more forceful but they fatigue faster

Back 21

White muscle fibers

Front 22

Have morphological and physiological characteristics that are in between red and white muscle fibers

Back 22

Intermediate muscle fibers

Front 23

Occurs only in the heart.

Back 23

Cardiac muscle

Front 24

Cross-striations and is composed of elongated, often branched cells bound to one another at structures called...

Back 24

Intercalated discs

Front 25

Serves as anchoring sites for actin filaments

Back 25

Fasciae adherentes

Front 26

Bind the cardiac cells together

Back 26

Maculae adherens

Front 27

Provide ionic continuity between adjacent cells

Back 27

Gap junctions

Front 28

Specialized to initiate and conduct the electrical impulse that controls cardiac contractions

Back 28

Purkinje fibers

Front 29

Muscle that compromises the muscular component of the wall and parenchyma of most visceral organs

Back 29

Smooth muscle

Front 30

Otherwise known as visceral muscle
