1
skeletal muscle
contractions speed can vary
force generation can vary
innervated by somatic nervous system
2
skeletal muscle characteristics
origin- muscle attachment to the bone that typically does not move
insertion- muscle attachment to the bone that is moved during contraction
flexors-muscles that decrease joint angles
extensors-muscles that increase joint angles
3
convergent
broad at the origin and then taper to a narrow tendon
4
circular
fibers form a ring around an opening
5
fusiform
fibers are thicker in the middle and they taper at both ends "football shaped"
6
parallel
fibers run parallel to each other with no obivious taper to a tendon
7
unipennate
fibers are going to connect obliquely to a tendon in ONE direction
8
bipennate
fibers connect obliquely to a tendon in TWO directions feather type orientation
9
mutlipenneate
fibers connect obliquely to tendon in mulitple central tendons grouping of feathers but all connect to one stem
10
connective tissue
bind together muscle fibers
keeos muscles fibers in parallel aligment
11
epimysum
surround whole muscle
12
perimysium
surrond fascicles
13
endomysium
surround muscle fibers
14
muscle fibers similiartites
mito have a lot of them for energy
nuclei have multiple in one cell
cell membrane- called sarcolemma in skeletal muscles
cytoplasm- called sarcoplasm
15
muscle fibers different
have satellite cells allows for help in muscle growth and repair
-outside the sacrolemma but inside basel lamina
- when muscle grows nucleli as they intergrate into the cell
16
myofibrils
contain contractile proerties
lots of proteins
17
sarcoplasmic reticulum
net like structure
holds Ca
network of membranous channels that surrounds each myofibrils
18
TRANSVERSE TUBLES
continuous with the sacrolemma
meranous channel that enxtends inwards from sacrolemma and passes trhough the fiber
19
striations in sacromeres
from the actin and myosin
20
A band
length of mysion and it is the dark band
21
I band
light band
from the end of one mysin the the start of the next one
22
titan
helps the strucutre and stability for myosin
23
desmin
holds the z dics
24
zdics
the zig zag of the at the end of actin and between the actin below it
25
cap z
is what aatches actin to the z dics
26
h zone
end of actin to end of actin
27
m line
middle point of the sacromere
28
what move in contraction
actin not myosin
h zone gets smaller
i band gets smaller
a band stays the same
29
actin
thin filament
tropnin- balls
tropmysion-rope
30
myosin
tail-heavy chain
heads-hevay chain
2 rings round heads-light chain (helps sturcture and stability)
31
desmin
intermediate filaments that hold adjecnt sacrmeres together z dis to z dics
allows for more power and cohesiveness by having sacromese all aligned
32
dystrophin
protein tht holds action to the sacrolemma vvery important to organization of sacromeres
