Muscle tissue arises from
embryonic mesenchyme
muscle tissue cells contain
actin and myosin the link and slide to allow muscles to shorten and thicken during contraction
muscle cell contraction in skeletal muscles is stimulated by
neurotransmitter release from nerve cells at neuromuscular junctions
Calcium is release from
storage into the cytoplasm, tiggers muscle contraction
muscle tissue is specialized for
contraction
what are the three types of muscle tissue
-skeletal and cardiac
- smooth muscle
skeletal muscle tissue
-where its attached and what it does
-striated or not
-how many nuclei and where is the location of the nuclei
-attaches to bones where it contracts to allow for skeleton movement
- striated and multinucleate
-nuclei are at the cell periphery
Is skeletal muscle voluntary or involuntary
voluntary
Cardiac muscle tissue
-where its attached and what it does
-striated or not
-how many nuclei and where is the location of the nuclei
how are cardiac tissue cells connected
junctions called intercalated discs that allow communication between cells to coordinate contraction
is the contraction of cardiac muscle voluntary or involuntary
involuntary
Smooth muscle tissue
-where its located
-striated or not
-voluntary or involuntary
-found within blood vessels, intestines, and organs
-unstriated which allows for tissue to contract in multiple directions
-involuntary
hypertophy
when muscle cells are consistently challenged, each fiber grows
atrophy
when muscle cells are not challenged, fibers may shrink
Neural tissue
contains cells specialized to conduct electrical impulses
Electrical impulses in neural tissue rely on
the exchange of sodium and potassium across the cellular membrane to generate action potentials
what is the major consumer of cellular ATP
resetting the na and k concentrations across the membrane
in a cell membrane what is the extracellular and intacellular charge
extracellular = positive
intracellular = negative
neuron
electrically functional cells of the nervous system
functions of the neuroglia cells include
-insulating the neuron axon in myelin to speed up transmission of action potentials
-forming the blood-brain barrier
-patrolling as immune cells
where are neurons and neuroglia found
neuroglia
surrounds the neuron cells bodies
neuron cells
receive information at the cell body, brought to it through the dendrites
cell body
integrates the information brought in through different dendrites to decide on an action
