Cards

Term
skeletal muscle functions
Definition
1. movement (main function)
2. heat production
3. posture:proper alignment body parts
Term
skeletal muscle organ anatomy
Definition
muscle fiber (muscle cell)
blood vessels and nerves
connective tissue
Term
skeletal muscle connective tissue types
Definition
epimysium
perimysium
endomysium
tendon
Term
epimysium
definition
Definition
layer of dense regular connective tissue
covers outside of muscle
Term
perimysium
definition
Definition
extensions of epimysium inward dividing muscle into bundles
Term
endomysium
definition
Definition
thin layer of connective tissue which covers the individual muscle fibers in a muscle
Term
tendon
definition
Definition
dense regular connective tissue which connects muscle to bone
Term
skeletal muscle fiber anatomy
types
Definition
sarcolemma
sarcoplasm
sarcoplasmic reticulum
myofibril
Term
sarcolemma
definition
Definition
plasma membrane of muscle fiber
Term
sarcoplasm
definition
Definition
cytoplasm of muscle cell
Term
sarcoplasmic reticulum
definition
Definition
(series of membranes)
store calcium (Ca++) ions
Term
myofibril
definition
Definition
cylinder shaped protein structures which extend entire length of the muscle fiber
Term
myofibril composed of two types of monofilaments:
Definition
thick filaments
thin filaments
Term
thick filament
composed of
Definition
protein called myosin
Term
thin filaments
composed of
Definition
three proteins: *actin *troponin *tropomysin
Term
sarcomere
definition
Definition
thick and thin filaments arranged along the myofibril in units called sarcomeres
Term
sarcomere
sections (pg 347)
Definition
Z-lines
I-band
A-band
Term
Z-line
definition
Definition
thin filaments attached to the z-lines
Term
I-band
definition
Definition
composed only of thin filaments
Term
A-band
Definition
contains both thick and thin filaments
Term
sarcomere/area between two Z-lines (disks)
Definition
T-tubules
T-systems
triad
Term
T-tubules
definition
Definition
invaginations of the sarcolemma
Term
T-systems
definition
Definition
all the T-tubules of a muscle fiber together
Term
triad
definition
Definition
T-tubule plus the sarcoplasmic reticulum on each side of it
Term
nervous control of skeletal muscle contractions must be stimulated with
Definition
a nerve impulse
Term
somatic motor neurons
definition
Definition
neurons which conduct nerve impulses to skeletal muscle fibers
Term
neuromuscular junction
definition
Definition
space between somatic motor neuron and the muscle fiber it supplies
Term
motor endplate
definition
Definition
that portion of sarcolemma across from neuromuscular junction
Term
motor unit
definition
Definition
consists of a somatic motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it supplies within a muscle (pg 352)
Term
the smaller the motor unit the more precise the muscle
Definition
contraction
Term
Energy sources for muscle contraction
Definition
*hydrolysis of ATP
*muscle cells that produce ATP
Term
hydrolysis of ATP is
Definition
ATP into ADP + P + energy = contraction
Term
muscle cells produce ATP three ways
Definition
*aerobic cell respiration (95% ATP)
*hydrolysis of creatine phosphate (CP)
*anaerobic respiration (glycolysis)
Term
two of the three ways muscles produce ATP that are produced in muscle only
Definition
hydrolysis
anaerobic respiration (glycolysis)pyruvate
Term
muscle production of creatine phosphate and anaerobic respiration (pyruvate) creates
Definition
small amount of lactic acid (anaerobic)
for extra muscle energy of about 5 seconds
Term
muscle cells use aerobic respiration,
95% from ATP -do any other cells in the body use aerobic cell respiration?
Definition
all other body cells use aerobic cell respiration too
