Definition
2%
Term
How are the endomysium, perimysium and epimysium arranged?
Definition
ENDOMYSIUM SURROUNDS MUSCLE FIBER,PERIMYSIUM SURROUNDS BUNDLES OF MUCLE FIBER,EPIMYSIUM SURROUNDS SEVERAL BUNDLES.
Term
What lines define the limits of the sarcomere?
Definition
BETWEEN 2 Z LINES
Term
Make an overall assessment of the organization of the sarcomere, characterizing the location of the bands and lines within.
Definition
DARK BANDS ARE THE A BANDS, H BAND IS PALE BAND OF THE A BAND WHERE FILAMENTS DO NOT OVERLAP, M LINE IS THE LIGHT ZONE OF THE H BAND AND CONATINS THE LATERAL CONNECTIONS OF THE FILAMENTS, THE LIGHTEST BANDS ARE THE I BANDS WHICH ARE BISECTED BY THE Z LINE.
Term
What is the function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
Definition
SEQUESTERS CALCIUM
Term
What is the function of the transverse tubules and where are they located with relation to the sarcomere?
Definition
LOCATED AT THE A-I JUNCTION AND THE Y SPREAD THE DEPOLARIZATION IMPLUSE
Term
What elements make the triad?
Definition
Expanded cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of each side adjacent to each T tubule.
Term
What is troponin and tropomyosin?
Definition
RELATED TO ACTIN MOLECULE AND ESSENTIAL IN CONTRACTION.
Term
Mention the events that occur for contraction to happen.
Definition
BINDING OF CALCIUM TO TROPONIN WHICH FORCES TROPOMYOSIN TO MOVE EXPOSINF MYOSIN-BINDING SITES OF ACTIN MOLECULE.MYOSIN BINDS TO ACTIN AND ATP BEAKS INTO ADP.ACTIN FILAMENT SLIDE OVER MYOSIN.
Term
What is a nerve-motor unit?
Definition
ONE MOTOR NUERON FOR EVERY FIBER, NO MATTER HOW MANY FIBERS
Term
What is the relation between the number of fibres innervated by a motor neuron, that allows more or less precise movements?
Definition
THE SMALLER THE# OF FIBERS THE HIGHER THE PRECISION.
Term
What events happen at the neuromuscular junction that induces the muscle fibre depolarization?
Definition
ACETLYCHOLINE IS RELEASED
Term
What is the muscle spindle and what it is made of?
Definition
PROPIOCEPTORS MADE UP OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE , FLUID, THICK AND THIN FIBERS, AND SENSORY NERVE FIBERS.
Term
What is the Golgi tendon organ?
Definition
SENSORY NERVES THAT PENETRATE CONNECTIVE TISSUE AND DECTECT TENSIONAL DIFFERENCES IN TENDONS

80%
Term
What is the main fuel for energy production in the cardiac cell?
Definition
FATTY ACIDS
Term
Describe how the atrial natriuretic factor and the brain natriuretic factor are harboured in the atrial cardiac muscle cells.
Definition
GRANULES WHICH ARE ABUNDANT IN JUXTANUCLEAR AREA OF THE CELLS OF THE RA HAVE A HIGHER MOLECULAR WEIGHT PRECURSOR OF ANF&BNF.
Term
Describe the intercalated cells of the cardiac muscle fibres and what is found in their transverse and lateral portions.
Definition
