DESCRIBE the internal anatomy of skeletal muscle, using each of the following terms: ACTIN, MYOSIN, THIN FILAMENT, THICK FILAMEN

jasenka [17]

INTERNAL ANATOMY OF SKELETAL MUSCLE : SKELETAL MUSCLE IS OTHERWISE CALLED AS STRIATED OR VOLUNTARY MUSCLE. THEIR ACTIVITIES ARE UNDER THE VOLUNTARY CONTROL OF NERVOUS SYSTEM. THEREFORE, THEY ARE KNOWN AS VOLUNTARY MUSCLES. PRIMARY FUNCTION OF THIS MUSCLE IS LOCOMOTION AND CHANGES IN BODY POSTURE.

EACH MUSCLE IS MADE UP OF NUMBER OF MUSCLE BUNDLES OR FASCICLES. THESE FASCICLES ARE HELD TOGETHER BY A COMMON COLLAGENOUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE LAYER CALLED FASCIA.

EACH MUSCLE IS COMPOSED OF NUMEROUS MUSCLE FIBRES AND IT IS MULTINUCLEATED, CROSS STRIATED CYLINDRICAL CELLS. IT IS MADE UP OF SARCOLEMMA OR CELL MEMBRANE ENCLOSING SARCOPLASM (CYTOPLASM) . NUMBER OF EVENLY DISTRIBUTED LONGITUDINAL THREADS CALLED MYOFIBRILS ARE PRESENT IN THE SARCOPLASM.

MUSCLE-FASCICULE-FIBRE-MYOFIBRILS-MYOFILAMENTS

EACH MUSCLE IS AN INDIVIDUAL CELL AND CONSISTS OF FOLLOWING PARTS.

SARCOLEMMA, SARCOPLASM, NUCLEI, MYOFIBRILS, MYOFILAMENTS, MITOCHONDRIA, SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM.

SARCOLEMMA IS CELL MEMBRANE OF MUSCLE FIBRES AND SARCOPLASM IS SEMIFLUID CYTOPLASM OF MUSCLE.

NUCLEI ARE MULTIPLE IN NUMBER AND OVAL IN SHAPE, PERIPHERAL IN DISTRIBUTION BENEATH THE SARCOLEMMA.

MYOFIBRILS ARE CONTRACTILE UNBRANCHED THREADS SITUATED ALONG THE MUSCLE FIBRE. IT CONSIST OF ALTERNATE A-BAND

AND I-BAND. EACH MYOFIBRILS CONSISTS OF LONGITUDINALLY ARRANGED PROTEIN FILAMENTS SUCH AS THIN FILAMENT CONSISTS OF ACTIN, TROPOMYOSIN, TROPONIN WHEREAS THICK FILAMENT CONSISTS OF MYOSIN . THESE ARE CALLED MYOFILAMENTS.

MITOCHONDRIA PROVIDES ENERGY FOR THE WORK OF MUSCLE FIBRE.

BESIDES THE ABOVE COMPONENTS THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF SUPPORTING TISSUES WHICH HELPS IN ORGANIZATION OF SKELETAL MUSCLES. THESE ARE.

ENDOMYSIUM : IT IS A DELICATE SHEATH OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE WHICH COVERS EACH MUSCLE FIBRE OUTSIDE THE SARCOLEMMA.

PERIMYSIUM : THE MUSCLE FIBRES ARE GROUPED INTO FASCICULI EACH FASCICULUS IS COVERED BY A CONNECTIVE TISSUE SHEATH CALLED PERIMYSIUM.

EPIMYSIUM : THE ENTIRE MUSCLE IS COVERED BY A SHEATH OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE KNOWN AS THE EPIMYSIUM.

Organic molecules that end in the suffix "-ase" often function as ________ molecules.

dimaraw [331]

The given blank can be filled with enzymatic molecules.

Enzymes refer to biological molecules or proteins, which function as catalysts and assist the composite reactions to take place everywhere in life. The enzymes generally end with the suffix - ase. For example, proteases, which functions to dissociate the peptide bonds between the amino acids.

Enzymes are big molecules, which accelerate the rate of chemical reactions within the cells, and like all other kinds of proteins, they comprise lengthy chains of amino acids.

What are the 5 functions of nematodes in the soil

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Nematodes are wormlike organisms which can be seen with naked eye, live in water-filled pore spaces in the soil. Nematodes are in large number in the upper soil layers where organic matter, plant roots, and other resources are most abundant.

The functions of nematodes:

Free-living nematodes decompose organic material into nutrients and cycled them in the soil by feeding on some bacteria and fungi.
Nematodes help in distributing bacteria and fungi through the soil and along roots by carrying live and dormant microbes.
They used as food for higher predators, soil microorthropodes.
They eat disease-causing organisms, thus suppress their growth.
They acts as potential bio- control agents.
