Term
Muscles are composed of
Definition
protein
Term
proteins in muscle are made up of these two fibers
Definition
actin and myosin
Term
actin
Definition
thin protein, has beads on it
Term
myosin
Definition
thick protein, has crossbridges on it
Term
muscles work in... and an example
Definition
pairs, biceps contract (flexor) and triceps relax (extensor)
Term
what are the muscle types?
Definition
skeletal
cardiac
smooth
Term
skeletal muscle...
Definition
striated, attached to bone, voluntary
Term
cardiac muscle...
Definition
involuntary, heart related, has intercolated disks
Term
smooth muscle
Definition
no striations, involuntary with partial control (diaphram, eye lids)
Term
prime movers...
Definition
responsible for most of the movement in a muscle contraction
Term
antagonists...
Definition
oppose the prime movers
Term
synergists...
Definition
extra muscles that help the prime movers
Term
origin...
Definition
point of attachment to a stationar bone that keeps it from moving crazy (biceps)
Term
insertion...
Definition
point of attachment to a moveable bone (biceps elbow)
Term
sliding filament theory...
Definition
actin grabs crossbridges and slides up crossbridges when it contracts and vise versa when it relaxes
Term
energy source in he sliding filament theory...
Definition
creatine and ATP
Term
muscle tone is... and 2 types
Definition
constant state of muscle. hypertrophy and atrophy
Term
hypertrophy
Definition
excessive muscle tone (body builders)
Term
atrophy
Definition
wasting away of muscle tissue (cast, coma, paralysis, bed ridded, eating disorder)

steroids
Definition
turns men to women and women to men
shrinks testicles
causes cancer
makes you vulnerable to injury
makes your voice change

motor unit
Definition
a motor neuron and muscle fiber
Term
ACH (acetycholine)
Definition
released form moter end plants and carries impulse across gap to muscle
Term
cholinesterase
Definition
enzyme that breaks down ACH after jump
Term
synaps
Definition
the space between the muscles

curare
Definition
in eye surgery it is used to paralyze the muscles in eye lid
Term
botox
Definition
stops ACH jump by numbing the nerves
Term
Lactic Acid
Definition
makes your muscle sore
Term
myoglobin
Definition
gives muscle its color and carries O2 around to muscles
Term
hemoglobin
Definition
gives blood its color and carries O2 around to blood
