Study Notes
Muscle Characteristics and Function
- Smooth and cardiac muscle are both involuntary.
- Extensibility is the ability of a muscle to be stretched.
- Elasticity is the ability of a muscle to be stretched and return to its original position.
- Perimysium wraps around muscle fascicles.
- Epimysium wraps around the entire muscle.
- A sarcomere is the segment from Z-disc to Z-disc.
- Calcium is stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
- Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction (where nerve and muscle meet).
- The power stroke occurs when actin slides towards the M-line, interacting with myosin.
- Oxygen offers the longest-duration energy source.
- Aerobic respiration requires oxygen; anaerobic respiration does not.
- Energy sources from least to greatest duration: Creatine phosphate, then anaerobic respiration, then aerobic respiration.
