|---|---|
| Muscle Fiber | an individual muscle cell |
| Fasicle | a group of muscle cells within the belly of a muscle |
| Sacrolemma | plasma membrane of skeletal muscle cells |
| Sacroplasm | the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle cell |
| Sacromere | Contractile unit of a muscle cell that makes a myofibril |
| Sacroplasmic reticulum | Modified endoplasmic reticulum that regulates calcium in the cell |
| T (transversal) Tubules | Tubes continuous with the sarcolemma to increase surface area |
| Myofibril | The major component of a muscle cell (takes up the most intracellular volume) |
| Myoglobin | Oxygen-binding protein in a muscle cell |
| Multi - nucleate | Term that means "containing many nuclei" |
| Epimysium | Fibrous connective tissue that is continuous with the tendon |
| Which type of muscle cell(s) is (are) striated? Choose all that apply. Skeletal Cardiac Smooth | Skeletal Cardiac |
| Skeletal muscle tends to contain short, branched cells. True False | False |
| The neuromuscular junction (or synapse) involves which of the following two cell types? neuron:neuron neuron:skeletal muscle neuron:adipocytes neuron:smooth mucles | neuron:skeletal muscle |
| Which of the following neurotransmitters are released at the neuromuscular junction? dopamine calcium acetylcholine acetylcholine esterase | acetylcholine |
| What type of channels bind to acetylcholine in the post-synaptic (muscle cell) membrane? chemical (ligand)-gated mechanical-gated voltage-gated photoreceptors | chemical (ligand)-gated |
| Receptors for acetylcholine are located in the motor end plate of the muscle cell. True False | True |
| What is the major role of acetylcholine esterase? To cause the release of acetylcholine from the motor neuron. To fill the vesicles located in the motor neuron with acetylcholine. To break down acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft. | To break down acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft. |
