Muscular System

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Endomysium   delicate connective tissue sheath that encloses muscle fiber  
🗑
Perimysium   coarser fibrous membrane that encloses many muscle fibers  
🗑
Fascicle   a bundle of fibers  
🗑
Epimysium   connective tissue covering that surrounds the entire muscle  
🗑
Tendon (aponeuroses)   attaches muscles indirectly to bones, cartilage, or connective tissue coverings  
🗑
Myofibrils   ribbon-like organelles  
🗑
Irratibility   ability to receive & respond to stimulus  
🗑
Contractivity   ability to shorten (forcibly)  
🗑
Fused/complete tetanus   contraction shows no signs of relaxing  
🗑
Unfused/incomplete tetanus   muscle twitches, rapid impulses so cells don't relax completely, successive contractions are added together, and contractions get stronger & smoother  
🗑
Muscle fatigue   when the muscle is unable to contract even though it is still being stimulated  
🗑
Oxygen debt   not enough oxygen available to keep up with demand of muscles  
🗑
Isotonic contractions   same tone/tension, occurs when myofilaments are successful in their sliding movements  
🗑
Isometric contractions   same measurement/length, occurs when the myosin myofilaments are not successful in their sliding movements  
🗑
Muscle tone   continuously, partial contraction  
🗑
Aerobic/endurance   result in stronger more flexible muscles with greater resistance to fatigue  
🗑
Resistance/isometric   results in building of muscle mass  
🗑
Myo & mys   muscle  
🗑
Sacro   flesh  
🗑
Muscle fibers   all elongated muscle cells  
🗑
skeletal muscles   cigar-shaped  
🗑
skeletal muscles   multi-nucleate cells  
🗑
skeletal muscles   largest muscle fiber types  
🗑
skeletal muscles   striated muscles  
🗑
skeletal muscles   subject to conscious control  
🗑
smooth muscles   no striations  
🗑
smooth muscles   involuntary movements  
🗑
smooth muscles   propels substances along a definite tract  
🗑
cardiac muscles   found only in the heart  
🗑
cardiac muscles   striated  
🗑
cardiac muscles   involuntary  
🗑
Pectoantebrachialis   draws forelimb towards the midline  
🗑
Pectoralis major   draws forelimb towards the midline  
🗑
Pectoralis minor   draws forelimb towards the midline  
🗑
Xiphihumeralis   draws forelimb towards the midline; synergistic with pectoralis minor  
🗑
External oblique   compresses abdominal region  
🗑
Internal oblique   compresses abdominal region  
🗑
Transverse oblique   compresses abdominal region  
🗑
Rectus abdominis   pulls sternum & ribs causing flexon of the trunk  
🗑
Gracilis   (adducts) retracts leg  
🗑
Sartorius   (adducts) rotates femur  
🗑
Biceps femoris   abducts thigh  
🗑
Gluteus maximus   abducts thigh  
🗑
Gluteus medius   abducts thigh  
🗑
Masseter   elevation of the mandible  
🗑
Clavotrapezius   flexes forearm (forward extension of humerus)  
🗑
Clavobrachialis   flexes forearm  
🗑
Acrimiotrapezius   adduct & stabilize position of scapulae  
🗑
Latissimus Dorsi   pulls forelimb dorsocaudally  
🗑
Biceps brachii   flexes forearm & helps stabilize shoulder joint  
🗑
Triceps brachii   extends forearm  
🗑
Brachialis   flexes forearm (synergistic with biceps brachii)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
