Term
skeletal muscle
Definition
SKELETAL MUSCLE MAKES UP THE BODIES FRAMEWORK THESE ARE VOLUNTARY MUSCLES THEIR CELLS ARE MULTINUCLEATE AND CAN BE VERY LONG . THEY HAVE A STRIPED OR STIATE APPEARENCE WHICH IS CAUSED BY THE MYOSIN AND ACTIN FIBERS IN THEM
Term
SMOOTH MUSCLE
Definition
SMOOTH MUSCLE IS ALSO CALLED VISCERAL MUSCLE BECAUSE IT COVERS ALL THE ORGANS UNDER THE EPITHERIAL AND CT LAYERS . IT DOES NOT HAVE A STRIATED LOOK TO IT BECAUSE THE MYOSIN AND ACTIN ARRANGED ALNONG WITH THE LENGTH OF IT NOT ACROSS IT LIKE THE OTHER TWO MUSCLE GROUPS . SMOOTH MUSCLE HAS A SLOW SUSTAINED CONTRACTIONS THAT HELP MOVE FLUIDS AND FOOD STUFFS THROUGH THE ORGANS
Term
CARDIAC MUSCLE
Definition
CARDIAC MUSCLE IS HIGHLY SPECIALIZED IT LIKE THE NAME SAYS IT IS IN THE HEART THIS IS AN INVOLUTARY MUSCLE . IT IS HIGHLY STRIATED THE CELLS HAVE A SINGLE NUCLEUS AND THEY HAVE A BRANCH APPEARANCE THEY ARE ALSO SEPERATED FROM EACH OTHER BY SPECIAL JUNCTIONS CALLED INTERCALTED DISC THESE HAVE A GAP AND DESMOSONE JUNCTIONS THAT HELP PROVIDE A RAPID TRANSFER OF NERVE IMPULSES CARDIAC MUSCLE CONTRACTS WITH OUT ACh STIMULATION BECAUSE IT HAS IT'S OWN BUILT IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO STIMULATE CONTRACTIONS

Term
EPIMYSIUM
Definition
THE EPIMYSIUM IT THE OUTER MOST COVER OF CT THAT WRAPS AROUND EACH MUSCLE
Term
FASICLES
Definition
FASICLES ARE THE SUBUNITS THAT ARE JUST BELOW MUSCLE IT'S SELF THEY ARE MADE UP OF SMALLER UNITS CALLED MUSCLE FIBERS
Term
MUSCLE FIBER
Definition
MUSCLE FIBERS IT THE NAME FOR THE SINGLE CELLS OF A MUSCLE
Term
MYOFIBRIL
Definition
MYOFIBRILS A RODLIKE ELEMENTS THAT OCCUPY MOST OF THE MUSCLE CELL'S VOLUME THEY MAKE UP SARCOMERES THAT ARRANGED END TO END
Term
SACROMERES
Definition
SARCOMERES ARE THE CONTRACTILE UNITS OF MYOFILAMENTS MADE UP OF MYISON AND ACTIN
Term
MYOFILAMENTS OR FILAMENTS
Definition
MYOFILAMENTS ARE THE NAMES FOR THE CONTRACTILE FILAMENTS THESE ARE MADE OF TWO TYPES THICK MYISON AND THIN ACTIN FILAMENTS THESE UNITS DO THE WORK OF CONTRACTING THE MUSCLE CELLS
Term
MYOGLOBIN
Definition
MYOGLOBIN IS A RED PIGMENT THAT STORES OXYGEN AND IS SIMILAR RO HEMOGLOBIN
Term
I BANDS
Definition
I BANDS ARE THE ARE OF THE SACROMERE THAT IS THE SPACE BETWEEN THE THICK FILAMENTS THE Z DISC RUNS DOWN THE MIDDLE IT HAS A LIGHTER COLOR THAN THE REST OF THE SACROMERE
Term
A BAND
Definition
THE A BAND IT THE AREA IN THE CENTER OF THE SACROMERE THAT RUNS FROM ONE END OF THE THICK FILAMENTS TO THE OTHER THIS IS A DARKER APPEARING AREA OF THE SECROMERE
Term
H ZONE
Definition
THE H ZONE IS THARE IN THE CENTER OF THE SACROMERE WHERE THE THIN FILAMENTS DO NOT TOUCH THE CENTER OF THIS IS CALLED THE M LINE THIS IS ALSO AN AREA OF THE SACROMERE THAT SHORTENS DURING MUSCLE CONTRACTION
Term
M LINE
Definition
THE M LINE IS THE AREA RIGHT DOWN THE CENTER OF THE SACROMERE THIS IS WHERE THE THICK FILAMENT ARE LINKED BY ACCESSORY PROTEINS
Term
ORIGIN AND INSERTION OF A MUSCLE
Definition
THE ORIGIN OF A MUSCLE IS THE POINT WHERE THE MUSCLE IS ATTACHED ON THE BONE THAT DOES NOT MOVE THE INSERTIOM IS THE POINT WHERE THE MUSCLE IS ATTACHED TO THE BONE THAT MOVES
Term
ACTIN
Definition
ACTIN IS THE PROTIENS THAT MAKES UP THE THIN FILAMENTS IT IS MADE UP OF THREE PTOTIENS. aCTIN IS THE CENTER PROTIEN THAT RESEMBLES OLIVES IT IS THE AREA IN THE CENTER THAT LOOKS LIKE AN OLIVE PIT THAT THE MYISON ATTACHES TO
Term
TRPOMYISON
Definition
TROPOMYISON IS THE STRAND LIKE PROTIEN THAT COVER THE RECEPTER PART OF ACTIN
Term
TROPONIN COMPLEX
Definition
TROPONIN COMPLEX ARE THE SMALL PROTIENS ATTACHED TO TROPOMYISON THAT WHEN THE CALCIUM IONS BOND TO IT THIS CHANGES SHAPE AND MOVES THE TROPOMYSIN OUT OF THE WAY SO THE HEADS OF MYOSIN CAN BIND WITH THEM TO PREFORM THE CONTRACTIONS
Term
Z-LINE DISC
Definition
THE ZLINE (DISC) IS THE JUNCTION BETWEEN THE SACROMERES OF THE MUSCLE FIBERS
Term
FACSIA
Definition
THE FASCIA IS THE SHEET OR BROAD BAND OF FIBROUS CT BENEATH THE SKIN IT IS DEVIDED INTO THREE LAYER SUPERFICIAL DEEP AND SUBUTANEOUS THESE ARE ALSO CALLED THE PEIMYISON PERIMYSIUM AND ENDOMYSIUM
Term
MOTOR UNIT
Definition
MOTOR UNIT IS A MOTOR NEURON PLUS ALL THE MUSCLE FIBERS THAT IT STIMULATES
Term
NEURONS
Definition
NEURONS ARE THE CELLS OF THE NS THAT PROVIDE THE ENERGY TO HELP MUSCLES CONTRACT THEY HAVE AXONS THAT DELIVER THE STIMULOUS
Term
MOTOR END PLATE
Definition
THE MOTOR END PLATE IS THE AREA OF THE MUSCLE CELL THAT IS MAKES UP THE SYNAPTIC CLEFT THIS IS WERE THE MUSCLE CELL IS FIRST ZAPPED TO START THE CONTRACTION PROCESS
Term
NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION
Definition
THE NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION IS THE INTRE AREA WHERE THE AXON AND THE MUSCLE MEET THEY DO NOT ACTUALLY TOUCH THERE IS AN AREA BETWEEN THEM CALLED A SYNAPTIC JUNCTION
Term
SYNAPTIC VESICLES
Definition
THE SYNAPTIC VESICLES ARE THE THE SMALL VESICALES THAT THE AXON RELEASES BY BONDING TO ITS END AND IT RELEASES THE THE NEUROTRANSMITTER CALLED ACETYLCHILINE (ACh) THIS THEN BONDS WITH RECEPTERS ON THE MUSCLE CELL IT'S SELF
Term
T-TUBULES
Definition
T-TUBULES CONVEY THE IMPULSE TO THE SACROPLASMIC RETICULUM THUS CAUSING IT TO RELEASE CALCIUM IONS STORED IN THE TERMINAL CISTERNA
Term
ACh ACETYLCHOLINE
Definition
ACETYLCHOLINE IS THE NEUROTRANSMITTER USED TO STIMULATE SKELETAL MUSCLE CELLS
Term
ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE
Definition
ACETYLCHOLINESTRASE IS THE ENZYME IN THE SYNAPTIC CLEFT THAT BREAKS DOWN ACh INTO IT'S BUILDING BLOCKS ACETIC ACID AND CHOLINE
Term
ATP
Definition
ATP IS THE FUEL THAT DRIVES THE MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS
Term
CROSS BRIDGE
Definition
A CROSS BRIDGE IS FORMED WHEN THE HEAD OF A MYISON BONDS WITH THE RECEPTER SIGHTS (THE OLIVE PITS ) ON ACTIN
Term
CALSEQUESTRIN
Definition
CALSIQUESTRIN HELPS REMOVE CALCIUM IONS FROM THE INTRACELLULAR FLUID AND RETURN IT TO THE SACROPLASMIC RITICULUM HELPING TO END THE REACTION THAT CAUSES MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS
Term
CELL RESPIRATION
Definition
CELL RESPIRATION IS A SERIES OF OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS THAT CHAMGE GLOCOSE INTO PYRUATE IN THE CYTOPLASM AND THEN PROCESS THE PYRUVATE IN MITOCHONDRIA TO MAKE ENERGY TO RECHARGE THE STORES OF ATP THIS ISWHY THE MITOCHONDRIA ARE CALLED THE POWER HOUSE OF THE CELL
Term
THE SUB SET OF REACTIONS IN CELL RESPIRATION
Definition
THEY ARE GLYCOLISIS , CITRIC ACID CCYLE ALSO CALLED THE KREBS CYCLE AND ELECTRON TRANSPORT
Term
GLYCOLYSIS
Definition
GLYCOLYSI ACCURS WITHOUT OXYGEN IN THE CYTOPLASM AND FORMS PYRUVATE FROM GLUCOSE IF THERE IS ENOUGH OXYGEN THE PYRUVATE WILL BE PROCESSED M BY THE MITOCHONDRIA IF NOT THEN IT WILL BE PROCESSED THROUGH THE FREMANTATION PATHWAY IN THE CYTOPLASM TO CREATE LACTIC ACID
Term
REST MUSCLES PRODUCE ATP
Definition
THE DO THIS BY MEANS OF AEROBIC RESPIRATION, ANAROBIC RESPERACTION AND CREATINE PHOSPHATE THIS LAST REACTION IS CATALIZED BY THE ENZYME CREATINE KINASE
