Skeletal Muscular System

QuestionAnswer
3 types of muscle tissue Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth
Excitability Response to stimulus
Contractability Shorten & exert tension
Extensibility Can contract even when stretched
Elasticity Rebound to original length after contraction
Produces movement of skeleton Skeletal Muscle
Maintains posture and body position Skeletal Muscle
Supports soft tissue Skeletal Muscle
Guards orifices Skeletal Muscle
Maintains body temp. Skeletal Muscle
Epimysium Surrounds WHOLE muscle
Perimysium Connective tissue layer that surrounds COLLECTION of Muscle Fibers
Fasiculus Connective tissue layer that has little compartments with compartments in it
Endomysium Connective tissue layer that surrounds INDIVIDUAL muscle fibers
Tendons connect muscle to bone; interwoven into periosteum and matrix of bone- forming a strong bond
Collagen bundles of these converge to form tendonds Epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium
Aponeurosis Thickened, Flattened TENDON
Skeletal Muscle Fiber = Muscle Cell
Muscle Fiber/Cell Large, cylindrical, multinucleated, long, striated, voluntary
Sacrolemma Cell membrane
Transverse tubules (T-tubules) invaginations of sacrolemma which carry electrical impulses
Sacroplasm Cytoplasm of muscle cell.
Myofibrils In sacroplasm, made up of myofilament/protein, (actin=thin, myosin= thick) Responsible for Contraction & Shortening.
Sacroplasmic Reticulum Surrounds myofibrils in the sacroplasm of a muscle cell.
Sacromere Smallest unit of muscle fiber in the sacroplasmic reticulum.
Attatched to the sacrolemma at each end of the cell Myofibril (as long as the muscle cell)
A band Thick filaments
I band Thin filaments
Sliding Filament Theory *Requires Calcium and ATP* Explains how muscle fiber exerts tension. Active sites on actin filaments. Head of myosin filament. Crossbridge of head of myosin to active site of actin. Attachment, pivot, detach (Ca gone), return
Neuromuscular Joint Where each skeletal muscle fiber is stimulated by a nerve fiber. Chemical Communication

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
