A | B |
What are the three types of muscles | skeletal, smooth, and cardiac |
What shape are skeletal muscles | cigar |
What is the plasma membrane of the muscle cell | Sarcolemma |
The muscle fibers are enclosed in... | Endomysieum |
Many muscle fibers make a | Fascicle |
Fascicle is rapped in a | Perimysieum |
Many muscle cells bundle to make a | A Fascicle |
Around the muscle body wrapping all the fascicles together is the | Epimysium |
What attaches the epimysia to the bone? | Tendons or Aponeuroses |
Sheet-like tendons are called | Aponeuroses |
The working unit of the muscle is called the | Myofibril |
The myofibril gives the muscle fibers their... | Striped or striated appearance. |
Light bands | I-bands |
Dark bands | A- bands |
Between I-bands | Z-line |
Between A-bands | H-zone |
What kind of organell is the sarcoplsmic retituclum formed from? | Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum that releases calcium |
What are the bands made up of? | Actin and Myosin |
The I- band is made up of the thin filament | Actin |
The A-bands are made up of the thick fillaments... | Myosin |
What does the nerve send out? | Acetylcholine |
Motor unit | All muscles triggered by nerve |
Sarcolema is permeable to | Na+ |
What causes the action potential | Na+ |
What causes myosin to release and recock? | ATP |
Why do you get Rigamortis? | No ATP to release Myosins hold on Actin. |
What is muscular Dystrophy? | Dengeneration of muscle do to a genetic problem with dystrophan |
What types of muscular dystrophy are sex linked? | Duschenes and Beckers |
Which form of MD do boys get before 6? | Duschenes |
Which form of MD is not sex linked and effects the upper body | Fascioscapular humoral |
Synergist | Group of muscles that work together |
Prime Mover | One muscle that does most of the work |
Anatgonist | Muscles that work against each other. |
All or none response | Muscle either reaches threshold stimulus and contracts or it does not contract at all. Their is no 1/2 contraction. |
Lee the baker took the muffins | Ligaments to bone tendons to muscle |
Smooth Muscle | No striations, in sheets and layers, do not tire, no concious control, often in visceral organs. |
Cardiac Muscle | The heart, striated, involutary, intercallated diskes, Figure 8 shaped bundles, does not tire. |
Skeletal Muscle | Mutlinucleated on the outside of muscle, striated, cigar shaped, volutary unless used in a Reflex, need rest. |
Muscle Functions are... | movement, maintain posture, stabalize joints, and generate body heat |
Myofibers or the Myofibril | Muscle cell |
Myofillaments | Actin-myosin-sarcomere organelles in the muscle cell (Myofibril) this enlarges or causes hypertrophy when you work out giving you...big muscles. |
Refractory period | recovery period of muscle or nerve |
Surrounds the entire muscle and tendon | Fascia |
abduction | drawing away from the median axis |
adduction | drawing twords a median axis |
extension | stretching out |
pronation | a rotation of the hand and radius around the ulna so that the palm is turned downward |
supination | a rotation of the hand and radius around the ulna so that the palm is turned upward. |
What is a muscle | An organ that can contract |
What causes the striations in skeletal muscle | Actin and myosin fillaments |
Used to wistle | Orbicularis oris |
Used to grin | Zygomaticus |
Used by trumpet players to hold air...and chipmunks too! | buccinator |
Used to blink and squint | Orbicularis oculi |
Used to pout...pulls the corners of the mouth down | Platysma |
Raises your eyebrows | Frontalis |
Allows you to chew | Masseter |
Elbow extendor | Tricept brachii |
Flexes elbow | Bicept Brachii |
Plantar flexes foot and raises you to your tip toes | Gastronemius |
Raises arm outwards on the frontal plane | deltoid |
Reason you may not be able to touch your toes | tight hamstring |
Brings your heel to your but or moves your leg back straight behind you | Hamstring (Can also tilt the pelvis under) |
Helps you cross your legs | Satorius |
Extends knee joint | Quadracept femoris |
Origin | where the muscle meets the bone that doesn't move |
Insertion | where the muscle meets the bone that does move |
Mastication | moving the lower jaw to chew |
compresses the abdominal cavity in foreced exhalation and bends the spine from side to side | external oblique |
Primary mover during crunches or situps | rectus abdominis |
Elevates and depresses the ribs | Intercostals |
Puts your head to one side | Sternocledo mastoid |
Brings your arms down | Latissimus dorsi |
Largest and strogest tendon in the body, attaches to the gastronemius | Achilles Tendon |
Contracts when cone cells aren't working | Pupillary Dilator |
Bows head in prayer | Sternocleidomastoid |
Flexes Fingors | Flexor Digatorum |
Turns, tilts head, raises and twists arms and shrugs shorlders | Trapezius |
Only muscle in the body that has an origin but no insertion...you use it a lot | tongue |
Pulled groin, pulls legs together | Abductor longus |
Moves upper arms twords chest or helps you do a push-up | Pectoralis |
