QuestionAnswer
Three types of muscle tissue, Skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Voluntary muscle, skeletal muscle
Striated involuntary muscle, cardiac muscle
Non-striated involuntary muscle, smooth muscle
Location of skeletal muscle, attached to bones
Location of cardiac muscle, heart
Location of smooth muscle, walls of organs and blood vessels
Structure that connects cardiac cells, intercalated discs
Why cardiac muscle cannot enter tetanus, long refractory period
Why smooth muscle can maintain contraction, latch bridge mechanism
Why skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated Fusion of multiple myoblasts
Myofibril Long protein bundle inside muscle cell
Myofilaments, Thick (myosin) and thin (actin)
Thin filament components, Actin, troponin, tropomyosin
Thick filament component, Myosin
Sarcomere, Functional contractile unit
Sarcomere boundaries, Z line to Z line
A band, Contains thick filaments
I band, Contains thin filaments only
H zone, Thick filaments only
M line, Center of sarcomere
Titin function, Stabilizes thick filaments
Nebulin function, Anchors thin filaments
Ion that triggers contraction, Calcium (Ca2+)
Where calcium is stored, Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Troponin function, Binds calcium
Tropomyosin function, Covers actin binding sites
Effect of calcium binding, Moves tropomyosin
Sliding filament theory, Actin slides over myosin
Cross bridge, Myosin head attached to actin
Power stroke, Myosin pulls actin
ATP role in contraction, Detaches myosin
Cause of rigor mortis, No ATP
Excitation-contraction coupling, AP triggers calcium release
Ryanodine receptor function, Releases Ca2+ from SR
Dihydropyridine receptor, Senses AP in T-tubules
What causes relaxation, Ca2+ pumped into SR
Isometric contraction, Tension without shortening
Concentric contraction, Shortening under tension
Eccentric contraction, Lengthening under tension
Neuromuscular junction, Connection of neuron and muscle
Neurotransmitter at NMJ, Acetylcholine
Enzyme that breaks down ACh, Acetylcholinesterase (Ache)
Ion causing neurotransmitter release, Ca2+
Motor unit, One neuron and its fibers
Recruitment, Adding more motor units
Small motor units, Fine control
Immediate energy source, Creatine phosphate
Anaerobic glycolysis output, 2 ATP and lactic acid
Aerobic respiration output, 32+ ATP
Muscle oxygen storage, Myoglobin
Cause of muscle burn, Hydrogen ion buildup
Type I fibers, Slow red fatigue-resistant
Type II fibers, Fast white powerful

Endomysium surrounds, Muscle fiber
Perimysium surrounds, Fascicle
Epimysium surrounds, Whole muscle
Muscle hypertrophy, Increase in fiber size
Muscle atrophy, Decrease in size
Dystrophin Stabilizes muscle membrane
Duchenne dystrophy, Caused by lack of dystrophin
Three functions of nervous system, Sensory integration motor
CNS, Brain and spinal cord
PNS, Nerves and ganglia
Afferent, Toward CNS
Efferent, Away from CNS
Sympathetic, Fight or flight
Parasympathetic, Rest and digest
Neuron, Nerve cell that conducts impulses

Depolarization, Sodium enters cell
Repolarization, Potassium leaves cell
Hyperpolarization, Membrane too negative
All-or-none principle, Fires completely or not at all
Absolute refractory period, Sodium channels inactive
Relative refractory period, Potassium channels open
Saltatory conduction, Action potential jumps nodes
Node of Ranvier Gaps, in myelin
Calcium at synapse causes, Neurotransmitter release
EPSP Excitatory signal,
IPSP Inhibitory signal,
Summation, Adding signals at hillock

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
