1.
"Building Muscle": increases SIZE of each muscle fiber (# of muscle fibers is fixed).
2.
A band: entire length of the thick filament
3.
As muscle contracts...: A Band: stays the same
Zone of overlap: INCREASES
I Band: decreases
H Zone: decreases
4.
cardiac m. tissue: - striated/branched
- involuntary
5.
contractile proteins: myosin and actin
6.
Endomysium: surrounds each muscle fiber.
7.
Epimysium (fascia): surrounds entire muscle.
8.
fascia: sheet of dense irregular tissue that surrounds the muscle (or several at once).
9.
Functions of muscular tissue: produces body movements; stabilizes body positions; moves substances within the body; generates heat
10.
H Zone: just thick filaments
11.
I Band: just thin filaments
12.
M Line: supportive proteins.
13.
muscle fiber: derived from many myoblasts.
14.
Perimysium (fascia): surrounds each fascicle (=group of muscle fibers/cells)
15.
Properties of Muscular Tissue: excitability (currents pass through); contractility; extensibility; elasticity
16.
regulatory proteins: -troponin
-propomyosin
17.
sarcolemma: plasma membrane of muscle fiber.
18.
Sarcoplasm: cytoplasm of a muscle fiber
19.
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum: like the ER - forms a network around each myofibril and releases CALCIUM to trigger contraction.
20.
skeletal m. tissue: - striated
- mostly voluntary
21.
smooth m. tissue: - not striated
- mostly involuntary
- hollow organs/structures (GI System, blood vessels)
22.
structural proteins: Z disc, M line, cytoskeletal proteins, etc.
23.
Subcutaneous Layer: separates muscle from skin; path for blood vessels and nerves to enter/exit muscle.
24.
The thin & thick filaments extend within the myofibril in units called...: Sarcomeres (the basic functional units of muscle)
25.
Transverse (T) Tubules: invaginations of the sarcolemma.
26.
when muscle tissue is DAMAGED it gets replaced by....: fibrous scar tissue.
27.
z disc: sarcomere extends from one z disco to the next.
28.
zone of overlap: think and thick filaments overlap
