7682305142Three types of muscle tissues-skeletal muscle -cardiac muscle -smooth muscle0
7682305143Skeletal muscle-usually attached to bone -voluntary -somatic -striated1
7682305144Cardiac muscle-wall of heart -involuntary -autonomic -striated2
7682305145Smooth muscle-walls of most viscera, blood vessels and skin -autonomic -not striated3
7682305146Fasciasurrounds each muscle4
7682305147Tendons-extensions of the fascia beyond the muscle -attach muscle to bone5
7682305148Aponeuroses-fibrous sheets -attach to bone or coverings of adjacent muscles6
7682305149Muscle coverings-epimysium -perimysium -endomysium7
7682305150Epimysiumsurrounds whole muscle8
7682305151Perimysiumsurrounds fascicles within muscles9
7682305152Endomysiumsurrounds muscle fibers (cells) within fascicle10
7682305153Muscle cell (fiber)-formed from many undifferentiated cell -multinucleated muscle fiber11
7682305154Sarcolemmamuscle cell membrane12
7682305155Sarcoplasma-cytoplasma -many nuclei -mitochondria -myofibrils13
7682305156Myofibrils-play a major role in muscle contraction -composed of overlapping protein filaments -Produces striations -broken into sarcomeres14
7682305157Myosinthick protein filament15
7682305158Actinthin protein filament16
7682305159Functional unit of muscle contractionsarcomeres17
7682305160myofilaments in myofibrilStriaition pattern made by arrangement of ______18
7682305161I bandthin19
7682305162A bandthick and thin20
7682305163H zonethick21
7682305164Z lineor disc22
7682305165M lineSarcomere23
7682305166Thick filaments-myosin molecules -twisted protein strands called heads24
7682305167Thin filaments-double strand of actin -troponin -tropomyosin25
7682305168Double strand of actineach actin molecule has a binding site for the myosin head26
7682305169Troponinattached to actin and to tropomyosin27
7682305170Tropomyosinlie in grooves on the actin strand28
7682305171Sarcoplasmic reticulumnetwork of membranous channels that surround the myofibril29
7682305172Transverse T tublues-invaginations of the SR that extend deep into the fiber -surrounded on either side by the cisternae30
7682305173CisternaeEnlarged portions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum31
7682305174Contraction-movement within the myofibrils -the actin and myosin filaments slide past one another -shortening the sarcomeres -muscles fibers shortens32
7682305175Neuronsconduct action potentials (impluses) along axons to target organs33
7682305176Synapsethe connection site between axon and target34
7682305177neurotransmittersReleased at the synapse by the neuron35
7682305178Motor neronstransmit impulses to effector36
7682305179Neuromuscluar Junctionsite where an axon and muscle fiber meet (synapse)37
7682305180Neuromusclar Junction parts-motor neuron -motor end plate -synaptic cleft -synaptic vesicles38
7682305181Motor end platespecial section of the sarcolemma39
7682305182Synaptic cleftgap between the neuron and the muscle fiber40
7682305183Synaptic vesicles-contain neurotransmitters -located at the end of the axon41
7682305184Stimulus for contactionacetylcholine (ACh)42
7682305185synaptic vesiclesNerve impulse causes release of ACh from _____43
7682305186motor end plateACh binds to ACh receptors on _______44
7682305187ACh generates a muscle impulsemuscle impulse eventually reaches the SR and the cisternae45
7682305188Acetylcholine (ACh)-neurotransmitter -released when an action potential reaches the end of the axon -diffuses in the synaptic cleft46
7682305189ACh binds to ACh receptors on motor end plate-generates an action potential on sarcolemma -action potential travels to the SR and the cisternae -causes Ca2+ to be releases into the fiber -Ca2+ stimulates the contraction47
7682305190Muscle impulsescause SR to release calcium ions into the muscle fiber48
7682305191Calciumbinds to troponin to change its shape49
7682305192pullsThe troponin _____the tropomyosin off the binding sites50
7682305193Binding sites on actin are now exposedmyosin heads bind to actin, forming crossing-bridges51
