Located in skeletal muscles. Striated. Voluntary. Long multinucleated cells
Smooth Muscle: Located where? Striated? Voluntary or Involuntary?
Non-straited. Involuntary, uni-nucleated cells. Surrounding organs/intestines/walls of blood vessels.
Sarcolemma=
Sarcoplasm=
=Plasma membrane of muscle cells.

=Cytoplasm
Skeletal Muscle Tissue: 3 layers (name)
All known as:
Endomysium
Perimysium
Epimysium
Known as DEEP FACIAE
Epimysium
surrounds named muscle// dense irregular CT
Perimysium
surrounds individual fascicles (group of muscle cells)
Endomysium
Within fascicles, surrounds individual muscle cells
Muscle cell=
muscle fiber = MYOFIBER
Transverse Tubules=
"t-tubules" infoldings of sarcolemma
Nuclei located where?
Located deep to sarcolemma
Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) contains what? Equivilent to?
= Smooth ER.
Contains calcium.
Terminal cisternae=
Contain what?
expanded parts of SR. contain high concentrations of calcium
Triad:
The complex of a T Tubule flanked by 2 terminal cisternae at each A-I junction
Myofibrils:
Bundles made of myofilaments surrounded by sleeve of SR
Myofilaments=
Filaments: thick and thin that form striations
Thick filaments:
MYOSIN: Found in center of Sarcomere and overlapping inner ends of thin filament. Contain ATPase enzymes.
ATPase Enzymes:
split ATP (energy storing molecules) to release the energy required for muscle contraction.
Thin filament:
ACTIN: Attached to Z disc and extending toward center of sarcomere
Keywords: troponin//tropomyosin
Sarcomere:
Basic unit of contraction: extends from Z line (disc) to Z line with M line present in the middle
A band:
"dark band" composed of THICK and THIN myofilaments: does NOT change during contraction or relaxation

<DARK>
M line:
Located in the middle of the A band and at the middle of the sarcomere: anchors thick filaments
H zone:
composed of thick filaments only: DISAPPEARS at full contraction, REAPPEARS during relaxtion

<CLEAR>
I band:
"light band" composed of THIN FILAMENTS ONLY; bisected by Z line; becomes smaller during contraction and returns to original width at relaxation

<LIGHT>
Action potential is initiated and propagates along the motor neuron axon to axon terminal.
STEP 1 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle
Action potential triggers the exocytosis of acetylcholine (ACh)from the synaptic vesicles present in the axon terminal.
STEP 2 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle
ACh diffuses across the synaptic cleft and bind to Ach receptors on the motor end-plate.
STEP 3 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle
Motor end-plate depolarizes and propagates the action potential along the sarcolemma.
STEP 4 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle
Transverse tubules (infoldings of sarcolemma) depolarize.
STEP 5 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle
Depolarization of the transverse tubules triggers the release of calcium from the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
STEP 6 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle
Calcium binds to the troponin of the thin filaments.
STEP 7 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle
Tropomyosin moves from its blocking position, uncovering binding sites on the actin molecules.
STEP 8 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle
Myosin heads bind to actin.
STEP 9 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle
Myosin heads swivel, detach and reattach to another binding site on actin.
STEP 10 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle
Step "10" is repeated numberous times, until thin filaments are pulled in towards the "M" line of each sarcomere.
STEP 11 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle
When the muscle fiber contracts: "I" bands shorten; "H" zone disappears, "A" band remain the same length and the sarcomere shortens.
STEP 12 Contraction: Skeletal Muscle

Articular Cartilage:
Hyaline cartilage covers articular ends of bones.

SYNOVIAL
Synovial Cavity:
aka Joint cavity. Contains synovial fluid
Articular capsule
aka joint capsule. outer layer called FIBROUS capsule and inner layer called SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE.
Fibrous Capsule

Articular discs:
Fibrocartilage in some joints only, i.e. menisci of knee joint and mandibular joint.
Bursae:
