what are the 3 types of muscle tissue?
skeletal
cardiac
smooth
the types of muscle tissue differ in _________, _________, __________, and _____________
structure, location, function, and means of activation
skeletal and smooth muscle cells are elongated and are called _______________
muscle fibers
What are the 2 kinds of myofilaments muscle contraction depend on?
actin and myosin
muscle plasma membrane
sarcolemma
cytoplasm of a muscle cell
sacroplasm
myo, mys, and sarco all refer to muscle
prefixes
packaged in skeletal muscles that attach to and cover the bony skeleton
skeletal muscle tissue
give 4 facts about skeletal muscle tissue
1. has obvious stripes called striations
2. is controlled voluntarily
3. contracts rapidly but tires easily
4. responsible for overall body motility
___________ occurs only in the heart
cardiac muscle tissue
give 3 facts about cardiac muscle tissue
1. striated like skeletal muscle but is not voluntary
2. contracts at a fairly steady rate set by the heart's pacemaker
3. neural controls allows the heart to respond to changes in bodily needs
found in the walls of hollow visceral organs, such as the stomach, urinary bladder, and respiratory passages
smooth muscle tissue
give 2 facts about smooth muscle tissue
1. forces food and other substances through internal body channels
2. not striated and is involuntary
_____________ are responsible for all locomotion
skeletal muscles
____________ is responsible for coursing the blood through the body
cardiac muscles
____________ helps maintain blood pressure, and squeezes or propels substances (i.e., ,food, feces) through organs
smooth muscle
muscles also __________, ___________, and ____________
maintain posture, stabilize joints, and generate heat
each muscle is a discrete organ composed of _____________, ____________, _____________, and ________________
muscle tissue, blood vessels, nerve fibers, and connective tissue
the three connective tissue sheaths are:
1. endomysium
2. perimysium
3. epimysium
fine sheath of connective tissue composed of reticular fibers surrounding each muscle fiber
endomysium
fibrous connective tissue that surrounds groups of muscle fibers called fascicles
perimysium
an overcoat of dense regular connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle
epimysium
each muscles is served by _________, ________, and ____________
one nerve, an artery, and one or more veins
each skeletal muscle fiber is supplied with a nerve ending that _____________________
controls contraction
require continuous delivery of oxygen and nutrients via arteries
contracting fibers
_________ must be removed via veins
wastes
most skeletal muscles ____________ and are attached to he bone in at least two places
span joints
when muscles contract the movable bone, the muscle's insertion moves toward the _______________, the muscle's origin
immovable bone
muscles attach __________ and _______
directly and indirectly
epimysium of the muscle is fused to the perosteum of a bone
directly attached
connective tissue wrappings extend beyond the muscle as a tendon or aponeurosis
indirectly attached
each fiber is a long, cylindrical cell with multiple nuclei just beneath the ___________
sarcolemma
densely packed, rodlike contractile elements
myofibrils
myofibrils make up most of the ___________
muscle volume
the arrangment of myofibrils within a fiber is such that a perfectly aligned repeating series of _________________________________ is evident
dark A bands and light I bands
smallest contractile unit of a muscle
sarcomeres
sarcomeres is the region of a myofibril between two successive _________
Z discs
carcomeres are composed of myofilaments made up of __________________
contractile protiens
what are the 2 types of myofilaments
thick and thin
extend the entire length of an A band
thick filaments
extend across the I band and partway into the A band
thin filaments
coin-shaped sheet of proteins (connectins) that anchors the thin filaments and connects myofibrils to one another
z-disc
thick filaments are composed of the protein _______
myosin
thiin flaments are chiefly composed of the protein ____________
actin
