Whats the 4 characteristic of muscle Tissue? |
Irritability contracility Extensibility Elasticity |
|
Whats Irritability ? |
Responds to stimulus |
|
Whats contracility? |
Once a muscle cell is stimulated it contract it shorten |
|
Whats extensibility? |
ability to be stretched |
|
Whats Elasticity? |
Retract to original length |
|
Whats the 4 functions of the skeletal muscle? |
Movement Support Protection Heat Production |
|
What is Thick myofilament composed of? |
Myosin |
|
What is thin myofilament composed of? |
Actin Tropomyosin Troponin |
|
What is a skeletal muscle cell called? |
Muscle Fiber |
|
Muscle fibers are _______ and ______ |
Long Cylindrical |
|
What is the Sacolema? |
Cell membrane |
|
What is the sacoplasm? |
Cytoplasm |

Are Muscle fibers multinucleated cells? Yes or No |
Yes |
|
Does muscle fibers have striations? Yes or No |
Yes |
|
What is myofibils ? |
The parts of the muscle fibiers that contain the contractile proteins they are long & cylindical |
|
What do the ability of the hedged head of the thick myofilament have the ability to do? |
Move back & forth pivot |
|
What is the area called on the actin? What is the actin site? |
Actin site Act as a magnet for the myosin head any time the myosin head is near the actin site it attaches to it |
|
What do Tropomysin do? |
is a long thread that Covers the active site on a actin |
|
is there to 2 Tropomysins? Where Yes and No |
Yes Both covering on the 2 strands of actin |
|
Whats the 3 pieces to the protein troponin? |
one piece attaches to tropomysin second piece attach to actin binding site for calcium |
|
On each actin is there an actin site ? Yes or no Whats covering them? Whats periodically spaced? |
Yes Tropomysin Troponin |
|
The thick & thin myofilaments are going to be arranged into what are called? |
Sacromere |
|
Whats a sacromere? |
basic contractile unit of a muscle fiber so when the muscle fiber is stimulated to contract absolute smallest piece that is physically going to shorten |
|
An order to hold the thick myofilment in place what would you use and what do they do? |
Run a band of stabilizing proteins down the center of them They hold the thick myofilment in place so they wont move around keep them spaced apart |
|
Take some thin myofilaments over lap the thick ones on each side they made up as actin, troponin, tropomysin .......... |
............ |
|
What would you use to hold the thin myofilaments in place? |
Another line of stabilizing proteins |
|
Whats is the stabilizing protein band called? |
The M(middle) Line get repeated over and over again |
|
Whats is the band of stabilizing protein at the end of the sacromere is called? |
Z line |
|
If you go from the beginning of the thick myafilment in one sacromere to the end of the thick myafilments in the same sacromere what is it called |
An A Band
|
|
Whats the 2 different parts of the A band |
A part where thick & thin myafilments over lap each other (Zone of overlap) A part in the center where you only have only thick myafilments |
|
What band is the zone of over lap at where you have the thick & thin myafilments over lap each other ? |
A band |
|
Whats the H zone? |
Thick myafilments center |
|
2 zones of overlap & an H zone make up an entire ______ band? |
A |
|
Why is the H zone is not gonna stain as darkly as the zone of over lap? |
Because its only thick myafilments but in the zone of overlap it have thick & thin myafilaments twice as much stuff in there its gonna stain more darkly |
|
To one A band end to the next A band begins To the end of thick myafilments in one scaromere to the beginning of thick myafilments in the next sacromere what is band is that called? |
I band |
|
Why is the I band not be as dark as the A band? |
All they contain is thin myafilment |
|
What band is the dark line A or I band? |
A band |
|
What band is the light line A or I band? |
I band |
|
What is the line going down the center of the I band? |
Z line |
|
From one ____ line to the next is the entire length of the_______? |
Z Sacromere |
|
Within the sacromeres the thick myafilments are found in the center those would form? |
A bands |
|
Within the muscle fiber you find _________ why would you find that? |
mitochondria? Making atp to keep up with the muscle fiber |
|
What is a T-tubuleas? |
Projection of sacrolema that go into the muscle fiber |
|
What is a sacroplasmic reticulum? |
is smooth endoplasmic reticulum stores ca++ |
|
The ends of the sacroplasmic reticulum is enlarged compared to the rest of it those enlarged ends have a name what is it called |
