Term
Muscle
Definition
Composed of fibers that contract, causing movement
Term
Skeletal muscle
Definition
Muscle responsible for voluntary movement, 40% of body's weight, contracts 100% always
Term
Smooth muscle
Definition
Involuntary muscle found in walls of hollow organs, eyes, skin, and glands, controlled by Beta 2
Term
Cardiac muscle
Definition
Heart muscle
Term
Intrinsic rate
Definition
Unique to heart muscle, when one cell beats they all start beating together
Term
Constant
Definition
The number of muscle cells in a muscle remains ____________ throughout life
Term
Rigor mortis
Definition
Muscle cells release calcium and contract, temporary post mortem
Term
Myofibrils
Definition
Contain 2 types of myofilaments(actin myofilaments and myosin myofilaments)
Term
Actin Myofilaments
Definition
Myofibrils that are active in muscular contractions, cellular movement, and maintenance of cell shape
Term
Myosin myofilaments
Definition
Fibrous globulins of muscle that react with actin to form actomyosin
Term
Neuromuscular synapse
Definition
Junction between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber
Term
Neurotransmitter
Definition
Substance theat transmits nerve impulses across a synapse
Term
Calcium channel blockers
Definition
Help to relax muscles, lower BP, lower HR, and dialates blood vessels
Term
Calcium ions
Definition
Stimulates movement of vesicles and ultimately muscles
Term
Sliding filament mechanism
Definition
Movement of myofilaments past each other during muscle contraction
Term
ATP
Definition
Created by resting muscles breaking down fatty acids, used to build energy reserves
Term
Anaerobic glycolysis
Definition
Process by which ATP is generated after muscles are exerted and oxygen cannot be supplied fast enough
Term
Hemoglobin
Definition
Pigment containing iron found in red blood cells, carries 97% of oxygen in the body
Term
Myoglobin
Definition
Pigment containing iron, similar to hemoglobin, found in muscle fibers, toxic to kidneys
Term
Rhabyonyolitis
Definition
Stems from trauma of muscle wasting diseases, leads to jaundice(i.e. crush injuries)
Term
Beta 2
Definition
Controls smooth muscle
Term
Smaller
Definition
Smooth muscle cells are ______________ than skeletal muscle cells
Term
Sclera
Definition
Yellow eyes
Term
Oxytocin
Definition
Hormone that stimulates contractions of the uterine smooth muscle
Term
Cardiac muscle
Definition
Striated muscle with cells containing only one nucleus
Term
Intercalated disks
Definition
Branching fibers between cells and protein-lined ion channels in cardiac muscle that allow action potentials to pass from cell to cell
Term
Dromatrophic affect
Definition
Speed/velocity of an impulse to contractility
Term
Ionotrophic
Definition
Strength of contractility
Term
Polarized
Definition
A cell at rest, waiting to react to a stimulus
Term
Depolarization
Definition
Happens once a cell is triggered, channels open up and sodium rushes in
Term
Intrinsic Automaticity
Definition
Unique ability of cardiac muscle to generate it's own electrical activity
Term
Repolarization
Definition
Recovery phase, when sodium leaves the cell
Term
Synergist
Definition
Muscles that work together to accomplish a particular movement(accessory muscles)
Term
Antagonist
Definition
Muscles working in opposition to other muscles
Term
Fixators
Definition
Muscles that stabilize the origin of the prime mover
Term
Infection
Definition
With deep muscle punctures there is always the risk of ________________
