| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| myofibrils | occupy 80% of the muscle volume and made up of thick and thin myofilaments |
| calcium ions | essential to muscle contraction |
| polarity of a resting cell | -95 mv |
| triad | formed by two terminal cisternae and a central T- tubule |
| sarcoplasmic reticulum | calcium pumps move calcium into the spr where it is stored and release calcium through open voltage gate calcium channels . |
| thick filament | made of 200 to 500 myosin (protein) molecules |
| depolarization | occurs when NA+ enters the muscle fiber and |
| repolarization | occurs when K+ leaves the fiber |
| filaments are organzied | thick filament surrounded by 6 thin filaments |
| the number of skeletal muscle cells innervated by a single motor neuron is known as | motor unit |
| the tension in a skeletal muscle is insufficient to overcome a resistance, and does not cause the muscle fiber contraction | isometric muscle contraction |
| gap junctions are notably absent in which muscle tissue | skeletal muscle |
| what structure is formed by the invaginations of the sarcolemma of smooth muscle | caveolae |
| which muscle tissue has the greatest capacity for regeneration following injury | smooth muscle |
| in the sliding filament theory of the muscle contraction which structure does the sliding | actin |
| which of the following pathways produce the greatest amount of atp | mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation |
| which physiological event is excitation- contraction coupling | 2nd physiological event |
| what is present in the sarcomere of a relaxed muscle fiber | h zone |
| what structure is formed by the invaginations of the sarcolemma of the skeletal muscle | transverse tubules |
| which energy supply system provides for immediate needs of the skeletal muscle | phosphagen system |
| striations of the skeletal muscle tissue is due to | alternating bands of thick and thin myofilament |
| sequential order from smallest to largest | myofilament, myofibrils, myofiber, fascicle , muscle |
| neurotransmitter released from the somatic motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction | acetylcholine |
| which ion is released from the terminal cisterna flooding the sarcoplasm removing regulatory proteins from myosin binding | calcium ions |
| what is not an component of cardiac tissue | varicosities |
| the end plate potential is generated at | motor end plate |
| the structural and functional unit of the skeletal and cardiac muscle system is the | sarcomere |
| a common feature of all muscle tissue | thick and thin filament |
