Term
Definition
Muscle Fibers   The cell of the muscle Compromised by myofibrils  
🗑
Myofibrils   Comprised of sarcomeres Usually 1-2 micrometers in diameter  
🗑
Myofilaments   Comprised of thick and thin filaments Thick (Myosin) Thin (Actin, Troponin, Tropomyosin)  
🗑
Sarcoplasm   Liquid component found inside the muscle fiber Cytoplasm for muscle cell  
🗑
Sacroplasmic Reticulum   Stores calcium for muscle contraction Forms a network of reservoirs for calcium release  
🗑
T-Tubules   Part of the SR that transport calcium throughout muscle fiber Responsible for the storage and release of calcium during contraction and relaxation T- Transverse  
🗑
Fenestrated Collar   Location where the L-Tubules (longitudinal) converge over the H-Zone  
🗑
Terminal Cisternae   Part of the SR, located over the A and I Band juncture  
🗑
Myoneural Juncture   Location where the motor nerve ending terminate on the sarcolemma Site of acetylcholine and cholinesterase release  
🗑
Motor End Plate   Raised mound where the myoneural juncture is located and the motor nerve terminates on the sarcolemma  
🗑
Mitochondria   Powerhouse of the cell Provides the cell with energy, through the production of ATP  
🗑
Lysosomes   Vesicles in the sarcoplasm that contain enzymes capable of degrading proteins Store proteases- enzymes capable of digesting the cell and its contents known as cathepsins  
🗑
Golgi Complex   Same function as regular cells Package protein and lipids  
🗑
The Sarcomere   The basic contractile unit of a muscle Spans the distance from z-disc to z=disc Contains 1 A-Band and 2 half I-Bands Comprised of thick and thin filaments Avg. resting sarcomere length is 2.5 micrometers Avg. fiber diameter is 10-100 micrometers  
🗑
A-Band   Dark band in the center of the sarcomere Location of myosin Thick filament Length does not change during contraction A: Anisotropic, doubly refractive  
🗑
I-Band   Light band on the ends of a sarcomere Contains actin Thin filaments Length shortens when muscles contract I: Isotropic, singly refractive  
🗑
H Zone   Area in the center of the A Band in which there is no actin overlap Shortens with muscle contraction  
🗑
Pseudo H Zone   Area in the center of the H Zone in which there is no myosin heads Width does not change during muscle contraction  
🗑
Z Disc or Z Line   Line at each ends of the sarcomere at which the actin filaments are anchored by nebulin Comprised of actin, a-actinin, and other proteins  
🗑
Z Disc or Z Line continued   Broken down by enzymes during postmortem aging, contributing in tenderness associated with aged prodcuts Composed of Z filaments Each actin filament is surrounded by four Z filaments  
🗑
M Line   Line that divides the sarcomere into two symmetrical halves The midline of the sarcomere Composed of M Proteins  
🗑
Myofibrillar Proteins Contractile   Actin and Myosin  
🗑
Myofibrillar Proteins Cytoskeletal   Titan, Nebulin, M Protein, C Protein, Desmin, Alpha-Actinin, Beta-Actinin

🗑
Nebulin Located: I band/thin filament   Anchors the thin filament to the Z-disc Located on the entire length of the thin filament 4% of myofibrillar  
🗑
C Protein Located: Thick Filament   7 rings encircle each half of the thick filament and helps provide stability to the thick filament Located around the thick filament in the A band  
🗑
M Protein Located: M Line   Component of the M-line Stabilizes rod portion of myosin on the thick filament  
🗑
Desmin Located: I band   Anchors the myofibril to the sarcolemma  
🗑
