Smooth: visceral organs - stomach, intestines, esophagus, lungs, reproductive organs
-Surrounding internal organs
-multinucleated, elongated, fusiform
Cardiac: heart
-larger nucleus
-glycogen stored around nucleus
-striations: arrangements of proteins inside the cell (myosin and actin)
-autorhythmicity
Skeletal:
-structured proteins for contraction and relaxation of the fibers
-multinucleated
-DNA: blueprint for making protein
-only one we can control
what are the 5 universal properties of muscle tissue?
thin sleeve of loose connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber. Creates room for blood capillaries and nerve fibers to reach every muscle fiber, ensuring that no muscle cell is without stimulation and nourishment
endomysium
sheet of connective tissue that separates neighboring muscles or muscle groups from each other and from the subcutaneous tissue.
fascia
neuron and the muscle cell it innervates
motor unit
what are the 7 functions of muscular tissue?
thicker connective tissue sheath that wraps muscle fibers together in bundles (fascicles). Carries larger nerves and blood vessels and stretch receptors (muscle spindles)
perimysium
fibrous sheath that surround the entire muscle. Grades into fascia -> into tendon
epimysium
what is the mounting pressure on the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels that can trigger a sequence of degenerative events?
what are the 2 types?
compartment syndrome
Acute: emergency; trauma related
Chronic: overuse; exercise or repetitive use
the sarcoplasm is occupied mainly by long protein cords called
myofibrils
Explain how muscle is involved in heat generation
(Molecular level of muscle)
when muscle contracts, it uses ATP. We break down ATP into ADP and Pi, so energy is released in the form of heat
the plasma membrane of a muscle fiber
sarcolemma
the cytoplasm of a muscle fiber
sarcoplasm
dilated end sacs on the sarcoplasmic reticulum that cross the muscle fiber from one side to the other and serve as a calcium reservoir
terminal cisterns
the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of a muscle cell
sarcoplasmic reticulum
Define: Glycemic control - regulation of blood sugar within normal range (normoglycemia)
Explain how senile atrophy can lead to Type 2 diabetes.
senile atrophy: natural process of the loss of cells due to aging
-Type 2 diabetes: inability to control or regulate blood glucose levels, insulin resistance
-less muscle mass, theres less capacity for buffering, taking glucose up out of the blood stream.
the protein located between the sarcolemma and the outermost myofilaments that links actin filaments to a peripheral protein on the inner face of the sarcolemma. When thin filaments move, this transfers the force to the basal lamina, endomysium, and then to tendon
dystrophin
____ and _____ are called contractile proteins because they do the work of shortening the muscle fiber
myosin and actin
the tubular infoldings of the sarcolemma
transverse (T) tubules
____ and ____ are called regulatory proteins because together they act like a switch to determine when the fiber can contract and when it cant
tropomyosin and troponin
dark band
A band
-thick filaments lying side by side
-part where thick and thin overlap is especially dark
light band
i band
-thin filaments
what spans from z-disc to z-disc
sarcomere
-contractile unit
