Unitary muscle in walls of hollow visceral organs

Smooth muscle

Has epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium as connective tissue components

Skeletal muscle

Composed of single, very long, cylindrical, multinucleate cells with obvious striations

Skeletal muscle

Has only caveolae instead of t-tubules

Smooth muscle

Is not inhibited by nervous system stimulation

Skeletal muscle

Has one t-tubule per sarcomere at the Z disc

Cardiac muscle

Utilizes sarcoplasmic reticulum as the source of calcium for calcium pulse

Skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle

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



These are examples of hormones

-thyroxine


-somatotropin


-prostaglandin


-epinephrine

This is a property of hormones where in one hormone cannot exert its full effect without another hormone being present

Permissiveness

This hormone is produced by the anterior pituitary gland

Adrenocorticotropic

All of these hormones are directly controlled by the hypothalamus

-neurohypohysis


-thyroid gland


-adenophyphysis


-parathyroid hormone

This is a hormone produced primarily by the pituitary gland

-ACTH


-prolactin


-antidiuretic hormone


-LH

These are among the effects of hypersecretion of the thyroid glnad

-early epiphyseal closure


-exophthalmos


-heat intolerance


-muscle weakness

These are among the effects of hyposecretion of the thyroid gland

-muscle cramps


-growth retardation and retention of child's body proportions


-constipation


-impotence

This hormone is produced by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland

The following is true about the pineal gland

Its only major secretory product is melatonin
