Term
Skeletal Muscles Working in Pairs
Definition
more than 600 skeletal muscles
Term
Synergistic muscles
Definition
Muscles that must contract at the same time to cause movement
"work together in same direction"
Term
Antagonistic muscles
Definition
Movement is produced when one muscle of the pair contracts and the other relaxes. "produce opposite reactions"
Example: the biceps muscle and triceps muscle of the upper arm
Term

DHTK Action
Term
Hamstring Group
Definition
Draws thigh backward, bends knee

DHTK Action
Term

DHTK Action
Term
Tendon
Definition
Band of connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone
Term
Tendinitis
Definition
Condition of having an inflamed tendon
Caused by overuse, misuse, or age
Healing is slow because tendons have a poor blood supply
Term
Muscle pull
Definition
called a muscle strain or tear
Caused by overstretching that damages the muscle or tendon
Treatment includes ice to reduce swelling and keeping the muscle stretched
Term
[image]
Definition
The Sliding-Filament Mechanism
Term
[image]
Definition
The structure of a skeletal muscle
Term
Contraction of Muscles

Muscle Fibers
Definition
intact muscle is formed from individual muscle fibers grouped in increasingly larger bundles, each wrapped in a connective tissue sheath
Term
Contraction of Muscles

Fascicle
Definition
a bundle of muscle cells
each is surrounded by its own connective tissue sheath

dense fibrous connective tissues non-parallel fibers
The connective tissue sheaths of fascicles merge at the ends of muscles to form tendons that attach the muscle to bone
Term
Contraction of Muscles

Muscle Cell
Definition
=a muscle fiber
skeletal muscle have striations formed by the arrangement of myofibrils within the cell
Term
Contraction of Muscles

Myofibrils
Definition
contains two types of myofilaments
Myosin (thick) filaments
Actin (thin) filaments are more numerous
Term
Contraction of Muscles
Definition
contains two types of myofilaments
Myosin (thick) filaments
Actin (thin) filaments are more numerous
Term
Contraction of Muscles

Sarcomeres

Know per dr meyers
Definition
myofibril has tens of thousands of contractile units, called sarcomeres. The ends of each sarcomere are marked by Z lines
Term
Contraction of Muscles

Sliding Filament Model
Definition
a muscle contracts when actin filaments slide past myosin filaments, shortening the sarcomere
Molecular level
Term
Contraction of Muscles

Myosin Head
Definition
aka cross-bridge,
attaches to a nearby actin filament
head bends and swivels, pulling actin filament to midline of sarcomere- shortening the sarcomere
head disengages from the actin filament
movements of myosin require ATP
The cycle begins again Myosin=shortening
Term
Contraction of Muscles

Calcium Ions
Definition
Muscle contractions are controlled by the availability of these
Term
Contraction of Muscles

Troponin-Tropomyosin Complex
Definition
When a muscle is relaxed complex covers the actin-myosin binding sites
Term
Contraction of Muscles

Troponin
Definition
When Calcium ions bond to troponin causes Muscle contraction and change in shape
Heart attack when rupture to blood=troponin in blood
change in shape moves tropomyosin, exposing actin-myosin binding sites
Term
Calcium Ions and Regulatory Proteins

Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
Calcium ions are stored in. Forms smooth endoplasmic reticulum found in muscle cells
Term
Calcium Ions and Regulatory Proteins

Transverse tubules (T tubules)
Definition
Pockets in the plasma membrane of a muscle cell
Carry signals from motor neurons deep into the muscle cell to every sarcomere
Term
Calcium Ions and Regulatory Proteins

Rigor Mortis

Know per dr. m
Definition
Muscle contraction will occur as long as ATP is present
Without ATP, cross-bridges cannot be broken
Within 3 to 4 hours after death, the muscles become stiff  rigor mortis
Actin and myosin gradually break down and muscles relax again after 2 to 3 days
Term
Role of Nerves

Neuromuscular junction
Definition
Junction between the tip of a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle cell
Term
Role of Nerves

Acetylcholine
Definition
causes changes in Muscle cell permeability, results is an electrochemical message similar to a nerve impulse
message travels along the plasma membrane in T tubules to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, releasing calcium ions for muscle contraction
Term
Muscular Dystrophy (MD)

Know per dr m
Definition
A group of inherited conditions in which muscles weaken: if too many calcium ions enter a muscle cell, proteins may be destroyed, eventually causing the cell to die; on a large scale, muscles weaken
Term
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

know per dr. m
Definition
The gene for production of the protein dystrophin is defective
Lack of dystrophin allows excess calcium ions to enter muscle cells, eventually killing the cells
Term
Voluntary Movement

Motor Unit

Know per dr. m
Definition
a motor neuron and all the muscle cells it stimulates
All the muscle cells in a given motor unit contract together
Term
Motor Units and Recruitment

Recruitment

know per dr. m
Definition
In nervous system aIncreasing the number of motor units stimulated increases strength of muscle contraction.
Term
Muscle Twitch

NOT ON TEST PER DR M
Definition
Contraction of a muscle in response to a single stimulus
Term
Atrophy

know per dr. meyers
Definition
a wasting away of the body or of an organ or part, as from defective nutrition or nerve damage.
Term
Z Lines

Know per dr. m
Definition
ends of sacomeres
Marked by dark protein bands
Term
Energy for Muscle Contraction
Definition
ATP REQUIRED (in order)
ATP stored in muscle cells(becomes ADP)
creatine phosphate stored in muscle cells
