Definition

1 Movement

2. Posture

3. Stabilize Joints

4. Heat

 

Term
Skeletal Muscle
Definition
  • Attach to Skeleton
  • Striated
  • Voluntary
Term
Muscle Parts
Definition
1. Muscle
2. Muscle Fascicle
3. Muscle Fiber(the Cell unit)
4. muscle fibril (sacrcolemma wraps around this)
filament
Term

Definition
  • involuntary
  • viscera
  • non striated
Term
Cardiac Muscle
Definition
>Heart
>Striated
>Involuntary
Term
Skeletal Muscle Parts
Definition
  • Sarcolemma-cell membrane
  • sarcoplasm- cytoplasm
  • myofibrils- contract
  • sarcoplasmic reticulum
  • transverse tubules-extensions of sarcolemma into cell
Term
Thick Filiments
Definition

Double headed golf clubs

 

Term
Thin filiments
Definition
  • string of pearls
  • made of actin

 

Term
Sacromere and Parts
Definition
  • Sacromere- z line to z line
  • Z line- dense protiens connecting sarcomeres also    T-tubules
  • M line- middle of H zone, where thick filiments connect
  • A band- entire thick filiment
  • H zone- Just thick filiments
  • I band- just thin filiments
 
 
Term
Sliding Filaments
Definition
  1. Rigor state: Myosin bound to actin
  2. ATP binds to myosin, unbinds
  3. ATP--> ADP+P: Myosin cocked
  4. Myosin reattaches
  5. P released--> Powerstroke
Term
Filiment Regulation
Definition
Tropomyosin: string that blocks active sites on actin
Troponin: like a lever that controles tropomyosin
Ca++: triggers troponin active site
Term
Nueromuscular Junction: skeletal
Definition
Moter End plate like nuerons: small cleft
  1. Acetylcholine release from nueron--> receptor in muscle cell membrane
  2. Channels open: K+ out, Na+ in
  3. Action potential 
Term
Excitation Contraction
Definition
1. AP across cell membrane--> down T tubules
2. Opens Ca++ channels on Sarcoplasmic reticulum--> dufuses out to sarcoplasm
3. Ca++ Bind to troponin on thin filiments
Term
Action Potential and Contraction
Definition
  • Latent Period: Time between A and tension
  • Twitch: Low frequency- low tension
  • Summation: Higher frequency AP, higher tension
  • Tentans: highset frequency AP-highest tension
Term
Twitch Tension
Definition
  • Depends on pre-contractile length
  • already overlapping: no where to move
  • Too far apartL thick and thin filiments dont overlap at all, cant pull on each other (not in real life)
Term
Motor Unit and recruitment
Definition
  • One somatic nueron and all the fivers it intervates
  • More active motor units: more tension
Term
Isotonic vs. Isometric
Definition
Isotonic: Constant tension (push rock on ground)
Isometric: Muscle stays same length (push wall)
Term
Series Elastic Componants
Definition
  • Must stretch to move a load
  • Muscle sarcomeres move stretchy thigns which move whole muscle (pen and rubber band)
Term
Smooth Muscle Twitch
Definition
  • Takes a long time from AP to tension
  • Nueron connection of veriscocities: like broken hose over muscle
Term
Smooth Muscle Cell
Definition
Tiny, spindal shaled
Longer filaments, arranged like net over cell
No troponin, no sarcomeres

Term
Smooth Muscle Contraction
Definition
  1. Depolarization opens Ca++ channels
  2. Ca++ released from SR and extracellular fluid
  3. Ca++ binds with Calmodulin, activates protiens that allow myosin to pull on actin
Term
Smooth Muscle Relaxation
Definition
  1. Pump Ca++ out of cell
  2. Ca++ starts to dissociate from calmodulin and deactivates
Term
Smooth Muscle Control
Definition
Hormones: Chem signals thru blood
Parocrins: released from neighboring cell
Term
Autorythmic Cells
Definition
Set their own rate, have unstable membrane potential
  • Slow wave potential: de and repolarizing cylcle, eventually reaches threashold (smooth muscle)
  • Pacemaker potential- depolarizes to threshold every time
Term
Cardiovascular Functions
Definition

Ø      transport nutrients

Ø      transport waste

Ø      cell to cell communication

Ø      Body Defence

Ø      Heat distribution

Term
Cardiac System Componants
Definition

Ø      Arteries: carries blood away from heart

Ø      Veins: carry blood back to the heart

Ø      Capillaries: join arteries & veins. Very small.

Ø      Heart: left and right Atria, Left and right ventricles

Ø      Systemic Circulation: leaving L ventrical throughout body

Ø      Pulmonary Circulation: through lungs

Term
Blood Flow: Pressure
Definition
Flow decreases as it moves awa from the heart.
Term
Blood Flow: Resistance
Definition

Resistance: lowers rate of flow

  • greater lengthe- higher resistance
  • greater radius-lower resistance (main way our body changes velocity)
  • greater viscocity- greater resistance

Term
Flow Velocity
Definition
  • greater radius:lower flow velocity
  • flow vol= vol/time (cm3/sec)
  • Flow velocity=distance/time (cm/sec)
  • surface area 1 x flow velocity1=surface area2 x flow velocity
Term
Heart valves
Definition
  • Arterioventricular valves
  • smilunar valves: blood leaves ventricals
  • Open and close depend on pressure gradiante of atria v. ventricles and ventricles v.  aorta and pulmonary trunk
Term
Cardiac Excitation: Basic Path
Definition
  1. AP Spreads through gap junctions in cells
  2. Ca+ in Sarcoplasmic rediculim and extracellular fluid
  3. Ca++ binds with troponin
  4. contraction like skeletal muscle
Term
Myocardial AP: Autorythmic
Definition
Set Pace
  1.  
    1. pacemaker potential: Na+ in and K+ out, slow depolarization (3/2 ratio)
    2. some Ca++ leak in as well
    3. -->Threshold: Ca++ in, fast depolarization
 d. -->repolarize, Ca++ channels close, K+ out
Term
Myocardial AP: Contractile Cells
Definition
DO this card
Term
Platue Phase
Definition
  • lengthens AP
  • lengthens refractory period to last as long as twitch lasts
  • insures that heart does not stay clenched
Term
Heart Rate Modulation: Sympathetic
Definition

> Norepinephrin (neurons)

> Epinephrine (adrenal medulla)

> Increaes Na, K Ca permeability, speeds up depolarization

Term
Heart Rate Modulation : Parasympathetic stimulation
Definition

Acetylcholine (neurons)

Increase K permeability and decrease Ca permeability
