|
Has intercalated discs |
Cardiac muscle |
|
Utilizes calmodulin instead of troponin as calcium regulator of contraction |
Smooth muscle |
|
Doesn't utilize pacemaker to function |
Skeletal muscle |
|
This is the ability of muscle cell to recoil and resume its length after stretching |
Elasticity |
|
These are among the functions of the muscle tissue |
-produce movement -stabilize joints -maintain posture and body position |
|
This connective tissue sheath covers individual fascicles of a muscle fibers |
Endomysium |
|
This holds the thick filaments in place and helps the muscle cell spring back into shape after stretching |
Titin |
|
This happens during muscle contraction |
-myosin heads bind to actin -the think and thin filaments shorten -distance between two successive Z discs shortens |
|
This is true of the sarcoplasm |
It is the cytoplasm of muscle fiber enriched with glycogen |
|
This is true for thick filaments |
They are composed primarily of myosin |
|
Order of events at neuromuscular junction |
-arrival of an action potential at the synaptic end bulb -release of ACh -diffusion of ACh across the synaptic cleft -activation of ACh receptors in motor endplate of muscle -production of muscle fiber action potential -opening of Na+ channels in motor endplate -termination of ACh |
|
The resting state of muscle is restored during |
Repolarization |
|
The infoldings of the sarcolemma that conduct electrical impulses into the cell cause the release of calcium ions |
Sarcoplasmic reticulum |
|
Have fascicles that insert into opposite side of the tendon, forming a feather-like pattern |
Bipennate |
|
A muscle that has a broad origin and its fascicles converge toward a single tendon of insertion |
Convergent |
|
Fascicles are arranged in concentric rings that surround external body openings |
Circular |
|
Resemble several feathers arranged side by side |
Multipennate |
|
The fascicles run in direction of the long axis of the body |
Parallel |
|
This is a muscle that has the major responsibility for producing a specific movement |
Agonist |
|
The muscle deltoid is named accordingly because of its |
Shape |
|
On the knee, a muscle that crosses on the posterior side of a joint produces this action |
Flexion |
|
Based on the type of fascicle arrangement, the pectoralis major muscle is this type |
Convergent |
|
This nerve innervates all the muscles of facial expression |
Facial/Cranial nerve VII |
|
Blinking and squinting (muscle) |
Orbicularis oculi |
|
Wrinkle the forehead horizontally (muscle) |
Frontal belly of epicranius |
|
Compresses cheek as in whistling and sucking (muscle) |
Buccinator |
|
Wrinkle the forehead vertically (muscle) |
Corrugator supercilli |
|
Raise the lateral corners of mouth |
Zygomaticus |
|
This is the prime mover of jaw closure |
Masseter |
|
This muscle flexes and laterally rotates head |
Sternocleidomastoid |
|
This is the prime mover of back extension |
Sacrospinalis |
|
This is the prime mover of inspiration |
Diaphragm |
|
This characteristic of the abdominal musculature provide great strength |
Alternation of fascicle directions of the muscles |
|
This allows voluntary inhibition of urination |
External urethral sphincter |
|
This is the prime mover of shoulder elevation |
Levator scapulae |
|
This is the prime mover of arm abduction |
Deltoid |
|
This is the prime mover of arm extension |
Latissimus dorsi |
|
This is the prime mover of elbow extension |
Triceps branchii |
|
Among the arm muscles these are the strongest in forearm/elbow flexion |
Brachialis |
|
This is the prime mover of forearm pronation |
Pronator teres |
|
This is the prime mover of flexing thigh or for flexing trunk on thigh as during a bow |
Iliopsoas |
|
This is particularly true of the quadriceps muscles |
They are composed of the rectus femoris and three vasti |
|
This is the major extensor of the thigh |
Gluteus maximus |
|
These are true about the hamstrings |
-they are prime movers of thigh extension -they are the prime movers of knee flexion -they have common origin in the ischial tuberosity -it is composed of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus |
|
This is the prime mover of dorsiflexion |
Tibialis anterior |
|
This is the prime mover of plantar flexion |
Soleus |
|
This is the prime mover of foot inversion |
Tibialis posterior |
|
This is true about the actions of the different compartments of the leg |
-anterior: thigh: leg extension -posterior: thigh: flex leg and extends thigh -anterior: leg: dorsiflexes foot -posterior: leg: plantar flex |
|
These are examples of lipid-soluble hormones |
-testosterone -thyroid hormone -progesterone -estrogen |
|
These are true with the hormones' mechanism of action |
-water soluble hormones are in the plasma membrane -lipid soluble hormones have receptors inside the cell -LSH acts through direct gene activation -WSH exert their effects through intracellular second messenger |
|
