Document Summary
Outline muscle structure and function at the level of both whole muscle and individual sarcomere. Outline the sequence of contractile events starting w/ initiation of a neural signal to relaxation of the muscle. Outline the various types of muscle fibers: Explain the concept of motor units and their importance to a graded contraction. Outline the manner in which muscles may grow or be altered by activity at the subcellular level. Discuss the significance of various proprioceptors to muscle function. Understand the basic mechanisms of muscle injury and recovery. Controls itself w/ assistance from the nervous system and adrenal gland of the endocrine system. Found in the walls of blood vessels and internal organs. Epi mysium tissue surrounding the whole muscle which holds it all together (outer layer) Endo mysium shealth of ct separating individual fibres. The ct from the epimysium/perimysium/endomysium come together as the tendon the attaches to the bone. Longest human muscle fibers are about 12 cm.
