Question
Answer
Name the 4 major functional characteristics of skeletal muscle.   Contractility,Excitability, Extensibility, and Elasticity  
🗑
The connective tissue shealth that surrounds skeletal muscle.   the epimysium  
🗑
another connective tissue that surrounds and seperates muscles.   the fascia  
🗑
the ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force   Contractility  
🗑
the visible bundles that make up muscles   muscle fasciculi (fascicle)  
🗑
loose connective tissue that surrounds the bundles   perimysium  
🗑
muscle cells are called   muscle fibers  
🗑
the capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus   excitability  
🗑
the connective tissue sheath surrounding each fiber is called   the endomysium  
🗑
the ability of muscle to recoil to it's original resting length   elasticity  
🗑
a threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other   myofibrils  
🗑
the 2 major kinds of protein fibers found in these threadlike structures are   actin myofilaments and myosin myofilaments  
🗑
highly ordered units of these protein fibers   sarcomeres  
🗑
the ability of muscle to be stretched   extensibility  
🗑
resting membrane potential is   the charge difference across the membrane  
🗑
action potential is   the brief reversal back of charge  
🗑
nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers are   motor neurons  
🗑
another name for a neuromuscular junction is   a synapse  
🗑
a single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates are called   a motor unit  
🗑
what does aceylcholine do   it is a neurotransimitter  
🗑
what is the space between the presynartic terminal and the muscle cell called   the synaptic cleft  
🗑
what is the presynaptic terminal   the enlarged nerve terminal  
🗑
what is the postsynaptic terminal   the muscle fiber  
🗑
what is the purpose of the sliding filament mechanism   allows muscles to contract  
🗑
the contraction of the entire muscle in response to a stimulus is   muscle twitch  
🗑
the level the stimulus must reach for a muscle fiber to react is   threshold  
🗑
when the muscle contracts maximally   all-or-none response  
🗑
the time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron is called   the lag phase  
🗑
the tim of contraction is the   contraction phase  
🗑
time during which the muscle relaxs is called   the relaxtion phase  
🗑
muscles remain contracted without relaxing is   tetnany  
🗑
the increase in number of motor units being activated is   recruitment  
🗑
ATP stands for   adenosine triphosphate  
🗑
where is ATP produced   in the mitochondria of the cell  
🗑
what does ADP stand for   adenosine diphosphate  
🗑
what is creatine phosphate   a high-energy molecule  
🗑
anaerobic respiration   without oxygen  
🗑
aerobic respiration   with oxygen(more efficent)  
🗑
what is oxygen debit   the amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions  
🗑
what causes muscle fatigue   ATP is used during muscle contraction faster than it can be produced in the muscle cells  
🗑
what does isometric mean   the length of the muscle stays the same but the tension changes  
🗑
what is muscle tone   the constant tension produced by muscles of the body for long periods of time  
🗑
describe fast-twitch fibers   they contract quickly and fatique quickly  
🗑
describe slow-twiwch fibers   contract more slowly and are more resistant to fatique  
🗑
what is the origin of the muscle   the most starionary end of the muscle  
🗑
what is the insertion of the muscle   the end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement  
🗑
what is the section of the muscle between the origin and the insertion called   the belly  
🗑
muscles that work together are called   synergists  
🗑
muscles that work opposing each other are called   antagonists  
🗑
the muscle that plays thr major role in the movementis called the   prime mover  
🗑
the occipitofrontalis is responsible for   raising the eyebrows  
🗑
the obicularis oculi is responsible for   opening and closeing the eyelids  
🗑
What are the two "kissing muscles" called   the orbicularis oris and the buccinator  
🗑
what muscle is responsible for puckering the lips   the orbicularis oris  
🗑
what muscle flatens the cheeks   the buccinator  
🗑
another name for the"kissing muscles"   the " trumpeter muscles"  
🗑
what muscle makes you smile   the zygomaticus  
🗑
what muscle makes you sneer   the levator labii superioris  
🗑
what does the depresser anguli oris do   make you frown  
🗑
the lateral neck muscle   sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
what does the platysma do   pull the corners of the mouth down  
🗑
chewing   mastication  
🗑
extrinsic tongue muscle do what   control tongue movement  
🗑
interinsic tongue muscles do what   control tongue shape  
🗑
where are the erector spinae located   on either sid eof the vertebral column  
🗑
wha does the erector spinae do   provide good posture  
🗑
where are the intercostals located   between the ribs  
🗑
external intercostals are for   inspiration  
🗑
internal intercostals are for   experation  
🗑
what is the diaphram responible for   quiet breathing  
🗑
what is the diaphram   a dome shaped muscle  
🗑
what is the liea alba   a white line of connective tissue that extends from the sternum to the pubis  
🗑
what do the external obliques responible for   helping compress abdominal contents  
🗑
what are tendonous inscriptions   tendonous tissue that crosses the rectus abdominis  
🗑
what gives the rectus abdominous it's segmented look   the tendonous inscriptions  
🗑
