Question
Answer
show all produce some kind of body movement when it contracts and shortens; have contractile protein myofilamants actin and myosin. Prefixes myo- and sarco-; many mitochondria, well vascularized.  
🗑
show skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle  
🗑
show what muscle cells are called because of their elongated, thread-like shape.  
🗑
Skeletal muscle tissue   show
🗑
Cardiac muscle tissue   show
🗑
show in walls of hollow internal organs; Aka visceral muscle b/c of location. Cells=non-striated. Provide contractions to help propel stuff in tubular organs; food thru digestive tract, bowels, urinary bladder, baby delivery. Involuntary.  
🗑
show produce movement, maintain posture, generate heat.  
🗑
Connective tissue wrappings or skeletal muscle   show
🗑
Epimysium   show
🗑
show connective tissue wrapping around a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers/cells; such a bundle is called a fascicle.  
🗑
show connective tissue wrapping around a single skeletal muscle cell/fiber  
🗑
Muscle attachments   show
🗑
Origin   show
🗑
show moveable attachment of a skeletal muscle; in muscles of the limbs insertion lies distal to origin.  
🗑
Prime mover/agonist   show
🗑
show muscle that opposes or reverses a particular movement produced by a prime mover/agonist; relaxed when a prime mover is contracted/shortened.  
🗑
show help prime movers by producing the same movement or by reducing undesirable movement when a prime mover contracts.  
🗑
show cells elongated and multinucleated, striated; have sarcolemma (plasma membrane) and sarcoplasm.  
🗑
show cytoplasm of muscle cells/fibers. Contains myofibrils (train) which consists of sarcomeres (cars of train).  
🗑
show basic unit of contraction in skeletal muscle; portion of myofibril between two consecutive z discs. Composed of thin actin filaments and thick myosin filaments.  
🗑
show organelle in skeletal muscle cell that releases calcium ions upon stimulation; calcium ions allow for interaction between myosin cross bridges and actin filaments required for contraction.  
🗑
Skeletal muscle disorders   show
🗑
Myasthenia gravis   show
🗑
show group of inherited diseases characterized by progressive deterioration and weakening of skeletal muscles. Involves defects in genes that are responsible for coding for proteins in sarcolemma of muscle cells.  
🗑
show slow oxidative, fast glycolytic, fast oxidative; each skel. Muscle contains a mix of all three, so can perform different tasks at different times. Amount is genetically determined.  
🗑
show aka red, slow-twitch fibers; contract slowly, produce ATP by aerobic means. Abundant myoglobin, large supply mitochondria, capillaries, resistant to fatigue, thin, not much contraction power. Posture muscles.  
🗑
Fast glycolytic fibers   show
🗑
show intermediate in many characteristics in comparison to slow oxidative and fast glycolytic fibers.  
🗑
show insertion for these muscles is skin, innervation is facial nerve. Bell’s palsy is paralysis of facial muscles associated with dysfunction of the facial nerve  
🗑
Epicranius   show
🗑
Frontal belly of epicranius   show
🗑
show overlies occipital bone; pulls scalp backward  
🗑
Orbicularis oculi   show
🗑
Orbicularis oris   show
🗑
show origin is zygomatic bone; insertion skin at corners of mouth; draws corners of mouth upward; “smiling muscle”  
🗑
Buccinator   show
🗑
Platysma   show
🗑
Muscles that move the eyeball   show
🗑
Superior rectus   show
🗑
show moves eyeball downward  
🗑
show moves eyeball medially (toward nose)  
🗑
Superior oblique   show
🗑
show helps rotate eyeball  
🗑
show provide for mastication/chewing; masseter, temporalis  
🗑
Masseter   show
🗑
show covers parts of temporal and parietal bones; bulging of it can be felt through scalp when teeth are clenched; insertion is mandible; action is masticating/chewing, biting, elevates (closes) mandible  
🗑
show tongue & buccinator muscles squeeze food posteriorly thru mouth toward pharynx; throat/pharynx muscles contract in sequence- suprahyoid muscles, pharyngeal constrictor muscles, infrahyoid muscles  
🗑
show above hyoid bone; pull hyoid & larynx superiorly & anteriorly. Moves laryngeal opening under protective flap (epiglottis) keeping food/fluid out of respiratory tract. Anterior mvmnt of hyoid bone widens pharynx to better receive food.  
🗑
show after suprahyoid muscles; in wall of pharynx. Squeeze food inferiorly through pharynx and into esophagus  
🗑
Infrahyoid muscles   show
🗑
show sternoceidomastoid, splenius muscles  
🗑
show in anterolateral surface of neck. Origins-sternum, clavicle. Insertion-mastoid process of temporal bone. Simultaneous contraction of both such muscles flexes head and neck; contraction of one alone rotates and tilts head  
🗑
show two muscles in posterior neck; lie deep to trapezius. Insertion-occipital bone; action-extend and hyperextend head  
🗑
show erector spinae/sacrospinalis  
🗑
Erector spinae/sacrospinalis   show
🗑
