a&p chap 7 muscles

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
Contraction   moves the body and body parts  
🗑
Three types of muscle structure and function   skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle  
🗑
Structure of skeletal Muscle   Muscle fibers = muscle cellsSkeletal muscles is composed of mainly muscle fibersMuscle fibers extend length of muscleMuscle fibers are arranged in fascicles  
🗑
Dense connective tissue surrounds each fiber, fascicle, and muscle   Establishes tendons to attach muscle to boneEstablishes aponeuroses to attach muscle to other muscles and connective tissues  
🗑
Skeletal muscle fibers   Are multinucleated, long, thin cylinders with rounded ends that extend the length of the muscle  
🗑
Sarcolemma (skeletal muscle fibers)   is the plasma membrane  
🗑
Sarcoplasm (skeletal muscle fibers)   is the cytoplasm  
🗑
Contain myofibrils (skeletal muscle fibers)   the contractile elements - contain thin actin filaments and thick myosin  
🗑
Each myofibril consists of repeating contractile units called   sarcomeres  
🗑
Neuromuscular interaction   A motor neuron sends impulses to a muscle fiber, which produces an actionEach muscle fiber is innervated and controlled by a motor neuronWithout nervous stimulation, a muscle fiber cannot contract  
🗑
Motor units   Consists of a motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it contactsPrecise control: motor unit with very few muscle fibersNo precise control: motor units contain 100s of muscle fibers  
🗑
Neuromuscular junction   Connection between axon of motor neuron and sarcolemma of muscle fiberSpace between axon and sarcolemma is synaptic cleftAxon tip has vesicles with neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh)  
🗑
Physiology of Muscle Contraction   Contraction involves a number of rapid structural and chemical changes within a muscle fiberExplained by the Sliding Filament Model  
🗑
Energy for contraction   Energy comes from ATPDue to small amount of ATP in cells, more ATP must be formed to support contractionsUses 2 pathways for making energyCreatine phosphateCellular respiration  
🗑
Creatine phosphate   Storage form of readily available energyStores energy from excess ATP Energy is transferred back to ADP when ATP levels decreaseDepleted quickly in rapidly contracting muscle  
🗑
Cellular respiration is a 2 step process   Anaerobic phaseAerobic phaseRequires oxygen to operate and produce ATP  
🗑
Oxygen for aerobic phase comes from   Hemoglobin in red blood cellsMyoglobin in muscle cells  
🗑
Sufficient oxygen levels   allow for aerobic respiration to occur and Pyruvic acid from anaerobic phase is broken down completely in the mitochondrion during aerobic respiration to CO2 and H2O  
🗑
Insufficient oxygen   with strenuous exercise prevents aerobic respiration so, Pyruvic acid from anaerobic phase gets converted to lactic acid instead of being broken down in to CO2 and H2O  
🗑
Lactic acid build up causes   discomfort and rapid deep breathing.  
🗑
To remove lactic acid, it must be   Broken down by aerobic respiration orConverted back into glucoseBoth processes require oxygen  
🗑
Oxygen debt   amount of oxygen required to metabolize lactic acid and restore normal ATP and creatine phosphate levels  
🗑
Endurance training increases efficiency of aerobic cellular respiration by increasing   Number of mitochondria per muscle fiberEfficiency of obtaining oxygen from blood by increasing area of contact between blood vessels and muscle fibersConcentration of myoglobin  
🗑
Heat production   Heat from muscle contraction is used to maintain normal body temperatureDecrease in body temperature results in shiveringHeat is a by-product of cellular respiration and other metabolic processes happening inside the muscle cell.  
🗑
Muscle interactions   Muscles function in groupsGroups arranged to provide opposing movementsAgonists produce an actionAntagonists produce the opposite actionAgonists and antagonists contract alternatelySynergists are sometimes involved to assist the agonist.  
🗑
Naming of Muscles   Terms used in muscle naming provide information about the muscleExamples of naming criteria areFunctionShapeRelative positionLocation Site of attachmentOrigin and insertionSizeOrientation of fibers  
🗑
Major Skeletal Muscles   There are over 600 muscles in the human bodyAll muscles have anOrigin is the immovable muscle attachmentInsertion is the movable muscle attachmentAction refers to what movement is accomplished when the muscle is contracted  
🗑
Muscles of breathing   Primary breathing muscle is the diaphragm, separating the thoracic and abdominal cavitiesMuscles of the ribs (intercostals) also assist in breathing  
🗑
Foot movements include   DorsiflexionPlantar flexionInversion – sole faces midlineEversion – sole faces away from midline  
🗑


   

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.
