Skeletal Muscle Tissue

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

Question
Answer
a dense layer of collagen fibers, surrounds entire muscle   epimysium  
🗑
a fibrous layer that divides the skeletal muscle into a series of compartments.   perimysium  
🗑
bundle of muscle fibers   muscle fascicle  
🗑
delicate C.T. that surrounds the individual skeletal muscle cells   endomysium  
🗑
stem cells that function in the repair of damaged muscle tissue   myosatellite cells  
🗑
collagen fibers of the C.T. layers merge to to form a bundle   tendon  
🗑
multinucleate cell   myoblast  
🗑
plasma membrane in skeletal muscle fibers   sarcolemms  
🗑
cytoplasm surrounding the myofibrils   sarcoplasm  
🗑
dense region of the sarcomere that contains thick filaments   A bands  
🗑
contains thin filaments but no thick filaments, extends from A band of one sarcomere to the A band of the next   I band  
🗑
repeating functional units   sarcomeres  
🗑
lighter region on either side of the M line   H band  
🗑
connects the central portion of each thick filament   M line  
🗑
mark the boundary between adjacent sarcomeres   Z line  
🗑
proteins that interconnect thin filaments of adjacent sarcomeres   actinins  
🗑
narrow tubes that are continuous with the sarcolema and extend into the sarcoplasm at tight angles to the cell surface   T tubules  
🗑
forms a tubular network around each individual myofibril   sarcoplasmic reticulum SR  
🗑
a graph of tension developing in muscle fibers   myogram  
🗑
begins at stimulation and typically lasts about 2msec. muscle fibers doesnt produce tension   latent period  
🗑
tension rises to a peak   contraction phase  
🗑
calium levels are falling, acitve sites are being covered by tropomyosin, and number of cross-bridges is declining   relaxation phase  
🗑
tension rises like the steps in a staircase   treppe  
🗑
all the muscle fibers controlled by a single motor neuron   motor unit  
🗑
motor units are activated on a rotating basis, some resting and some are active   asynchronous motor unit summation  
🗑
resting tension in a skeletal muscle   muscle tone  
🗑
tension rises and the skeletal muscle's length changes   isotonic contraction  
🗑
load is greater thatn the peak tension the muscle will elongate   eccentric contraction  
🗑
muscle as a whole does not change length, and the tension produced never exceeds the load   iosmetric contraction  
🗑
anaerobic breakdown of glucose to pyruvate in the cytoplasm of the cell   glycolysis  
🗑
normally provides about 95% of the ATP demands of a resting cell   Aerobic metabolism  
🗑
high-energy component muscles store   creatine phosphate CP  
🗑
can no longer perform at the required level of activity   fatigue  
🗑
shuffling lactate to the liver and of glucose back to muscle cells   Cori cycle  
🗑
amount of oxygen required to restore normal, pre-exertion conditions   oxygen debt or excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)  
🗑
most skeletal fibers in body called..... can reach peak twitch tension in .01 sec   fast fibers  
🗑
only have about half the diameter as fast fibers take three times longer to reach peak tension after stimulation   slow fibers  
🗑
fibers that contain little myoglobin and are relatively pale; resemble fast fibers   intermediate fibers  
🗑
enlargement of the stimulated muscle   hypertrophy  
🗑
reduction of muscle size,tone, and power   atrophy  
🗑
virus attacks motor neurons in the spinal cord and brin, causing muscular atrophy and paralysis (loss of movement)   polio  
🗑
occurs throughout body, beginning with the smaller muscles of the face, neck, and arms. typically begins 2-7 hours after death and disappears after 1-6 days   rigor mortis  
🗑


   

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.
