and is striated with kught and dark bands visible with microscope
skeletal muscle attachments
attaches to bone skin and fascia
cardiac muscle
is striated and reflexes involuntary due to its autorythmic pacemaker
striated
alternating light and dark bands protien bands.
voluntary (somatic)
its activity can be consciously cotrolled by neurons that are part of the somatic part of the nervous system.
involuntary
not consiously controlled
autorhythmicity
built in rhythm like the so called pacemaker for the heart
smooth muscle
lines hollow organs and vessels and are attached to hair follicules and is a non striated involuntary muscle tissue.
properties of muscle tissue that enables it to function and contibute to homeostasis.
excitabiltiy
irritablity
conductivity
contractility
extensibility
elasticity
excitibility
receives and respomds to a stimulus by an electrical signal that comes from a neuron or a pace maker
irritability
responds to neurotransmitter (chemicals) released by neurons, hormones or changes in ph
conductivity
ability to propagate (reproduce or make) electrical signals over membrane
contractility
Ability to generate forces (flex) while being shortened or not.
extensibility
ability to be streched without damaging tissue
elasticity
ability to return to original shape after being stretched
superficila fascia
loose connective tissue and fat underlying the skin
deep fascia
dense irregular connective tissue around muscle
types of fascia
superficial fascia and deep fascia
types of deep fascia
epimysium
perimysium
endomysium
epimysium
the outermost layer of deep fascia or dense irregular connective tissue encircling the entire muscle.
perimysium
second layer down of a deep fascicle (dense irregular connective tissue) but surrounds groups of 10 to 100 or more muscle fibers seperating into fascicles.
fascicles
muscle fiber bundles in groups of 10 to 100 cause by perimysium
endomysium
seperates individual muscle fibers or cells it is mostly retivular fibers.
tendons
all the deep fascia extending beyond the muscle belly to attach to bone.
Neuromuscular junction
each motor neuron supplying multiple muscle cells or fibers
inervation
nerve supply in muscle
fetal development of muscles
derived from 100 or more myoblasts thats why a mature muscle cells has 100+ nuclei
sarcolemma
plasma membrane of a muscle cell
sarcoplasm
its within the sarcolemma it is filled with myofibrils glycogen and myglobin
glycogen
used for synthesis for atp
myoglobin
protien only found in muscles
binds oxygen molecules that difuse into muscle fibers from interstitual fluid
myofibrils
inside sarcoplasm they are the contractile elements of skeletal muscle cells
each myfibril consist of a chain of eevn samller contractile units called sarcomeres
within each myobiril their are smaller elements called myofilaments thick and thin.
myofilaments
their are thick and thin fillaments that are the contractile protiens of muscle.
transverse tubules
invaginations of the srcolemma in the center of the cell. they are filled with interstinial fluid and carries muscle action protiens or nerve impulses throughout the cell
sarcoplamic reticulum
runs all around myofibrils stores Ca+2 and a release of it promotes muscle contraction.
A (anistropic) band
the darker middle part of the sarcomemere due to thick filaments
I (istotropic) band
is a lighter less dense area that contains the rest of the thin fillaments no thick filaments
z disc
verticle zig zag lines that seperate each sarcomere
H zone
center of each A band length wise its filaments in this region is thick
