identify origin and insertion

During contraction the ___ moves toward the ___?

During contraction the insertion moves toward the origin

Name the 5 functions of muscles

Muscle functions include:

* motion
* locomotion
* maintenance of posture or position
* production of heat
* circulation of the blood

Muscles function in?

in pairs or groups, each having the opposite function of the other.

Muscles that flex the forearm , must be complemented by?

by muscles that extend the same structure

The Muscle mass itself is referred as?

The belly

What is the origin?

the end of the muscle that is relatively stationary during contraction.

What is insertion?

the end of the muscle that moves toward the origin during contraction.

Rarely, a muscle origin can act as the insertion



T/F

True

Give an example, where the muscle origin can act as the insertion

In the rectus abdominus where the xiphoid process and the pubic symphysis can interchangeably be the origin or insertion depending on the action being performed.

What is superficial fascia?

a layer of shiny connective tissue

What is epimysium?

the outermost layer of the muscle

the outermost layer of the muscle

What is the Perimysium?

Deep to the epimysium and surrounding the fasciculi

Deep to the epimysium and surrounding the fasciculi

What is the Endomysium?

They are within each fasciculus and surrounding the muscle fibers that lie inside is the muscle layer

They are within each fasciculus and surrounding the muscle fibers that lie inside is the muscle layer

What is the Fasciculus ?

can be viewed as a cylindrical area within the muscle containing parallel-running muscle fibers

can be viewed as a cylindrical area within the muscle containing parallel-running muscle fibers

What is a muscle fiber?

A muscle fiber is a muscle cell

A muscle fiber is a muscle cell

What is a myofibril?

Rod that is striated , comes out of muscle fiber

Rod that is striated , comes out of muscle fiber

What is Sarcomere?

the portion of a muscle fiber between two successive Z-lines

the portion of a muscle fiber between two successive Z-lines

What is the Z line or Z disc ?

the partitions within a muscle fiber that section it into sarcomeres. Thin myofilaments attach to these.

the partitions within a muscle fiber that section it into sarcomeres. Thin myofilaments attach to these.

What is an A band?

the comparatively dark area entirely within a sarcomere. This area is composed of thick filaments and thin filaments. This area does not shrink during muscle contraction.

the comparatively dark area entirely within a sarcomere. This area is composed of thick filaments and thin filaments. This area does not shrink during muscle contraction.

What is the I band?

the lighter areas alternating with A-Bands; these areas straddle the Z-line and are composed of thin filaments (the terms myofilament and filament are used interchangeably).


During contraction the I-Band shrinks in size.

the lighter areas alternating with A-Bands; these areas straddle the Z-line and are composed of thin filaments (the terms myofilament and filament are used interchangeably).


During contraction the I-Band shrinks in size.

What is the H zone?

a subdivision of the A-Band in the center of the sarcomere where only thick filaments are present. This area shrinks during muscle contraction.

a subdivision of the A-Band in the center of the sarcomere where only thick filaments are present. This area shrinks during muscle contraction.

What are Thick Filaments?

these filaments, which span A-Band, are composed of the protein myosin.


 


 

these filaments, which span A-Band, are composed of the protein myosin.



What are Thin Filaments?

these filaments, which attach to the Z-line and interdigitate with the thick filaments, are composed of three proteins:


f-actin
tropomyosin
troponin (attaches to the end of each tropomyosin strand

these filaments, which attach to the Z-line and interdigitate with the thick filaments, are composed of three proteins:

* f-actin
* tropomyosin
* troponin (attaches to the end of each tropomyosin strand

The release of Calcium ions to initiate muscle contraction allows , calcium to bind to?

allows Ca to bind to troponin

When calcium binds to troponin , what happens?

troponin moves slightly and allows myosin to bind with tropomyosin

When troponin moves slightly and myosin binds with tropomyosin, what does this allow?

This permits the movement (sliding) of the thick and thin filaments over each other.

During Muscle contraction , what happens?

the thick and thin filaments overlap eachother more and more. Movement of the filaments is described in the Sliding Filament Theory.

During the contraction, the thick filaments appear to?

maintain their position in the center of the sarcomere

During contraction , what happens to the sarcomere?

the sarcomere itself becomes smaller as the Z-lines "move in" on the thick filaments

Since all of the sarcomeres in a muscle contract but the origin remains stationary, the result is ?

the result is that the insertion is moved toward the origin.

Thick filament is composed of what?

Myosin (beads)

Myosin (beads)

Thin filaments are composed of what 3 proteins?

1. F - Actin


 


2. Tropomyosin


 


3. Troponin

1. F - Actin



2. Tropomyosin



3. Troponin

In a short summary, what is the sliding filament theory?

During contraction, Troponin and Myosin , can form bonds and move relative to each other
