  • Front
  • Back
composes wall of heart
involuntary
cardiac muscle
lines internal orans and is involuntary
smooth muscle
muscle that attaches to the skeleton via tendons
skeletal muscle
agonist
initiates the desired movement
antagonist
opposes the moving (agonist) muscle
3 properties of skeletal muscle
1. elasticity-stretch
2. extentisibility-ability to returnt to resting length
3. contractility-ability to shorten and produce tension
3 muscle actions
1. concentric-muscle overcomes load and shortend
2. eccentric-mucle lengthens
3. isometric-muscle doen't shorten or lengthen
sarcoplasmic reticulum
stores calcium
Transverse tubules
pass through muscle fiber. carry impulses and transport substances
Sarcomere
smallest funtional unit of muscle
describe the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction
1. action potential is received from motor neuron
2. SR releases calcium in to sarcoplasm
3. calcium binds with troponin
4. troponin shifts tropomyosin off of binding site on the actin
5. myosin attaches to actin and with ATP performs a power stroke
6. Actin slides over myosin
Muscle spindles
-located in the muscle
-measure length change and speed of length change
-signal muscle contraction
Golgi tendon organs
-located in musculotendionous region
-recognize change in muscle tension
-signal muscle to relax
Axial skeleton is composed of
skull
vertebral column
sternum
ribs
Appendicular skeleton is composed of
shoulder girdles
arms
legs
hips
shapes of bones
long
short
flat
irregular
bone tissue is also called
oseous tissue
hematopoiesis
formation of red and white blood cells
bone grows longitudinally as long as _______ _______ remain open
Epiphyseal plates
After epiphyseal plates close, bone grows in
thickness
resorbtion
loss of bone tissue
List the 3 types of bone cells and what they do
1. osteoclasts-destroy bone
2. osteoblasts-form bone
3. osteocytes-mature osteoblasts
Tendons
connect muscle to bone
