cardiac muscle
Tendons connect ___________ to _________.
Tendons connect muscle to bone.
Ligaments connect _________ to ________.
Ligaments connect bone to bone.
What is the section of a muscle fiber from z-line to z-line?
sarcomeres
What does sarcos mean?
flesh
Which of the motor proteins is attached to the z-line?
actin filaments
Which protein is the thin filament?
actin
Which protein is the thick filament?
myosin
During muscle contraction, calcium ions (Ca+) bind to ________________ and cause it to change shape. When changing shape, this protein causes the movement of ____________________, revealing the myosin binding sites on the actin fibers. The myosin “club” heads can now attach.
During muscle contraction, calcium ions (Ca+) bind to troponin and cause it to change shape. When changing shape, this protein causes the movement of tropomyosin, revealing the myosin binding sites on the actin fibers. The myosin “club” heads can now attach.
What is the additional need for oxygen resulting from strenuous activity? The lack of oxygen that causes the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles and liver.
oxygen debt
What is a pair of muscles that work together to produce a motion and its opposite motion?
antagonistic pair
What body systems interact with the muscular system?
the respiratory system, digestive system, integumentary system, nervous system
What is the most important nutrient, gives source of energy?
glucose
____ is necessary for the contracted muscle to relax. That is why a dead person experiences rigor mortis until the ______ degrades on its own.
No life= no _____.
ATP
____________ is a soft tissue found in most animals.
They contain filaments of _________ and ___________ that slide past one another, producing a contraction that cause a change in _________ and _________.
__________ function to produce _________ and __________.
Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals.
They contain filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, producing a contraction that cause a change in shape and length.
Muscles function to produce force and motion.
MUSCLE CHARACTERISTICS
What is the ability of muscle tissue to shorten and cause movement?
What is response to stimuli?
What is ability to retain shape?
What is ability to stretch?
contraction, irritability, elasticity, extensibility
MUSCLE STRUCTURE
Muscle _________ → Muscle _______ → __________ → group of _____- _________ muscle fibers → muscle
MUSCLE STRUCTURE
Muscle fiber → Muscle cell → fascicle → group of 10- 100 muscle fibers → muscle
What are threadlike structures found in the cytoplasm of muscle fibers?
myofibrils
Myofibrils are made up of 2 types of protein filaments. What are they? What type of proteins are they?
Myosin- motor protein and actin- spherical protein. They act together for contraction
What is the smallest part of a muscle called?
Muscle fiber
Myofibrils are made up of ______________(alt thin actin) and ____________ fibers. They are surrounded by connective tissue called ________________.
Myofibrils are made up of sarcomeres (alt thin actin) and myosin fibers. They are surrounded by connective tissue called endomysium.
What is a muscle working as a unit called?
muscle bundle
Plasma membrane → ___________
Cytoplasm → ______________
ER → _______________ _______________
Mitochondrion → _________________
Plasma membrane → sarcolemma
Cytoplasm → sarcoplasm
ER → sarcoplasmic reticulum
Mitochondrion → sacrosome
MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY
__________________ makes muscle movement. _______ is needed, ________ is produced.
MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY
Contraction makes muscle movement. ATP is needed, heat is produced.
What is the inability of muscle fibers to contract after prolonged use? This is caused due to a build up of lactic acid.
Muscle fatigue
What is a short, involuntary muscle contraction?
spasm
What are painful, involuntary contractions in fatigued muscles?
cramps
What increases the size of muscle fibers, not the number, more mitochondria and actin, and myosin filaments?
weight training
What is tiny damage to the fibers, and is important for muscle growth? The body responds to overcompensating, replacing the damaged tissue and adding more muscle. Exercise physiology is very complex. And muscles are not torn during exercise, at least not literally. Rebuild to accomodate stress.
microtrauma
What type of training benefits the heart and lungs, increased number of blood vessels leading into muscles? More oxygen transported to the muscles.
cardiovascular training
What is reduction in muscle fibers due to lack of use?
atrophy
What is temporary stiffness of a body’s muscles and joints after death? Muscular stiffening that begins 2 to 4 hours after death and lasts about 4 days.
Maximum stiffness is reached around 12-24 hours post mortem. _________ __________ are affected first, with the rigor then spreading to other parts of the body. The joints are stiff for 1-3 days. Useful when determining time of death.
rigor mortis
Facial muscles
MUSCLE ACTIONS
______________ vs. _____________
______________ vs. _____________
MUSCLE ACTIONS
flexion vs. extension
abduction vs. adduction
What does ab mean? What does ad mean?
away, to
What muscle rotates? (elevation vs. depression)
sternocleidomastoid
Muscles ________, never __________. Muscles work in _____________.
(prime mover, antagonist, antagonistic pair, synergist “to work together”)
Muscles pull, never push. Muscles work in groups.
