  • to regulate temperature
  • Sensory
Term
Smooth Muscle
Definition
Found in walls of hollow body organs, blood vessels and respiratory passageways, involuntarily controlled, produces a wavelike motion called peristalsis ( pushes substances through tubes), do not have visible bands(striations) like other kinds of muscle tissue, cells are long fibers with tapered ends and contracts and relaxes slowly.

Definition
  • Loss of collagen (wrinkles)
  • Liver spots (areas with increased pigmentation)
Term
Cardiac Muscle

Definition
is the endoplasmic reticulum
Term
Myofibril
Definition
cylinder rods that fill muscle fibers and contain filaments that can shorten and cause contraction (two filaments are Actin(thin) and Myosin(thick))
Term
Properties of muscle tissue
Definition

Contractility- has the ability to shorten and change shape.

Excitability- can transmit and electrical current

Action potential a spreading wave of electical current across a cell membrane.

Term
Steps of Muscle Fiber Contraction
Definition
  1. Motor neuron stimulates muscle fiber
  2. Calcium stored in the SR is released
  3. Calcium binds to actin
  4. Myosin crossbridges latch on to actin
  5. Myosin uses ATP to pull actin
  6. Actin and myosin slide together causing the muscle fiber to shorten
Term
Oxygen Debt
Definition
When there is a lack of oxygen in muscle tissue, lactic acid is produced when this occurs which can cause muscle fatigue and soreness
Term
Tonus
Definition
partially contacted state that muscles are in even when not in use
Term
Isotonic contractions
Definition
tension applied stays the same but muscle shortens
Term
Isometric contractions
Definition
no movement occurs, but greater muscle tension is applied
Term
Tendon
Definition
rope like cord of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone
Term
Aponeurosis
Definition
a flat sheet of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone.
Term
Origin
Definition
attachment to the less movable
Term
Insertion
Definition
attachment at the most moveable end
Term
Atrophy
Definition
wasting of muscle due to disuse (broken arm in a cast)
Term
Muscular dystophy
Definition
Deteriation of muscles that still have nerve function
Term
