---|---|---|---|---|---|
Contractility | ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force
🗑
|
||||
Excitability | capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus
🗑
|
||||
Extensibility | ability to be stretched
🗑
|
||||
Elasticity | ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched
🗑
|
||||
Three types of muscle | skeletal, smooth, cardiac
🗑
|
||||
connective tissue sheath that Surrounds each skeletal muscle | epimysium
🗑
|
||||
loose connective tissue located outside the epimysium; surrounds and separates muscles | Fascia
🗑
|
||||
visible bundles that make up muscles | fasciculi
🗑
|
||||
loose connective tissue that surrounds the fasciculi | perimysium
🗑
|
||||
single muscle cells that make up fasciculi |
🗑
|
||||
each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called | endomysium
🗑
|
||||
cytoplasm of each fiber is filled with___, a threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other | myofibrils
🗑
|
||||
Myofibrils contain these 2 major types of protein fibers(myofilaments) | actin(thin) and myosin(thick)
🗑
|
||||
Actin and Myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units called | sarcomeres
🗑
|
||||
basic structural and functional unity of the muscle | sarcomeres
🗑
|
||||
the charge difference across the membrane | resting membrane potential
🗑
|
||||
the brief reversal back of the charge is called | action potential
🗑
|
||||
nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers | motor neurons
🗑
|
||||
Axons enter | muscles and branch
🗑
|
||||
Each branch that connects to the muscle forms a ___ or ___ near the center of the cell | neuromuscular junction or synapse
🗑
|
||||
A single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates are called | a motor unit
🗑
|
||||
the enlarged nerve terminal is the | presynaptic terminal
🗑
|
||||
the space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell is the | synaptic cleft
🗑
|
||||
the muscle fiber (in nerves) | postsynaptic terminal
🗑
|
||||
each synaptic terminal contains | synaptic vesicles
🗑
|
||||
synaptic vesicles secrete a neurotransmitter called | acetylcholine
🗑

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.
