What are the 2 main branches of the nervous system - central nervous system and peripheral
nervous system
What does the CNS include - Brain and spinal cord
What does the PNS include - afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor)
Efferent expands to - Autonomic - cardiac and smooth
, Somatic - skeletal
Connects bone to muscle - Tendon
Epimysium - connective tissue around whole muscle
Perimysium - Connective tissue surrounding a fascicle
endomysium - Connective tissue surrounding a muscle fiber
fascicle - bundle of muscle fibers
myofibrils - make up muscle fibers
sarcolemma - muscle cell plasma membrane
sarcoplasmic reticulum - modified ER, stores calcium
sarcoplasm - cytoplasm of a muscle cell
function of t tubules - increase surface area on muscle fiber, passageways for calcium and signals
Neurotransmitter - a chemical substance that is released at the end of a nerve floor by arrival of a
nerve signal. diffuses across synapse transferring signal to the muscle
sarcomere - functional unit of muscle, one z-line to the next
myosin v actin - myosin (thick filament) and actin (thin filament)
