Term
Muscle Main Functions
Definition
Use ATP to generate force (main), produce body movement, maintain posture, stabilize joints, thermogenesis
Term
Muscle Stimulation
Definition
Can come from nerves, intrinsic system regulation, hormones, etc.
Term
Myofilaments
Definition
Actin and myosin, interact to produce tension
Term
Skeletal Muscle Tissue
Definition
Voluntary, striated
DESCRIPTION: Very long, cylindrical, multinucleated
FUNCTIONS: Voluntary movement
LOCATION: Skeletal muscles
Term
Cardiac Muscle Tissue
Definition
Involuntary, striated
DESCRIPTION: Branching, striated, interdigitate at specialized junctions (intercalated discs)
FUNCTION: Propels blood
LOCATION: Walls of heart
Term
Smooth Muscle Tissue
Definition
Involuntary, nonstriated
DESCRIPTION: Spindle-shaped, one nuclei, form sheets
FUNCTIONS: Propells substances along internal passageways
LOCATION: Mostly walls of hollow organs
Term
Skeletal Muscle (Organ) Contents
Definition
Skeletal muscle fibers, blood vessels, nerve fibers, connective tissue
Term
Skeletal Muscle (Organ) Tissue Sheets
Definition
Endomysium, perimysium, epimysium; connective tissues; all connected to each other
Term
Endomysium
Definition
Found between muscle fibers (cells)
Term
Perimysium
Definition
Surrounds fascicle (bunch of cells)
Term
Epimysium
Definition
Surrounds muscle (organ)(bunch of fascicles); connected into tendon
Term
Origin
Definition
The muscle's attachment to immovable (less movable) bone
Term
Insertion
Definition
The muscle's attachment to the moveable bone
Term
Direct Attachment of Muscle
Definition
The Epimysium is fused to the periosteum
Term
Indirect Attachment of Muscle
Definition
Muscle's connective tissue wrappings extend beyond the muscle as either a tendon or an aponeruosis (flat tendon), which will attach to the bone
Term
