        Help!  

Question
Answer
ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force   contractility  
🗑
capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus   excitability  
🗑
extensibility   ability to be stretched  
🗑
ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched   elasticity  
🗑
each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath which is called   epimysium  
🗑
connective tissue located outside the epimysium, it surrounds and seperates muscle   fascia  
🗑
muscle is composed of numerous visible bundles called and are surrounded by_______.   fasciculi and perimysium  
🗑
fasciculi are composed of single muscle cells called   fibers  
🗑
endomysium   fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath  
🗑
cytoplasm of each fiber is filled   myofibrils  
🗑
myosin myofilaments   thick myofilaments, they resemble bundles of minute golf clubs  
🗑
joined end to end to form the myofbril   sarcomere  
🗑
charge difference across the membrane   resting membrane potential  
🗑
nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal mucsle fibers   motor neurons  
🗑
near the center of the cell   synapse  
🗑
single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates   motor units  
🗑
presynaptic terminal   enlarged nerve terminal  
🗑
the space between the preesynaptic terminal and the mucsle cell   synaptic cleft  
🗑
postsynaptic terminal   muscle fiber  
🗑
synaptic vesicles   each terminal contains  
🗑
acetylcholine   secrete neurotransmitter  
🗑
acetylcholinesterase   muscle cell is rapidly broken down by an enzyme  
🗑
combination of acetylcholine with its receptor causes an influx of sodium ions into the   muscle fibers  
🗑
sliding of actin myofilaments past myosin myofilaments during contraction is   sliding filament mechanism  
🗑
contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus that causes the actin poetinail in one or more muscle   muscle twitch  
🗑
when stimulus that causes fiber to respond at level called   threshold  
🗑
phenomenon is called   all or none response  
🗑
time between applicaTION OF A STIMULUS TO A MOTOR NEURON AND THE BEGINNING OF A CONTRACTION IS THE   LAG PHASE  
🗑
time of contraction   contraction phase  
🗑
time when muscle relaxes   relaxation phase  
🗑
muscle stays contracted   tetany  
🗑
increase of motor units being activated   recruitment  
🗑
Atp   adenosine triphosphate  
🗑
needed for energy for muscle contraction   atp  
🗑
produced in mitochondria   atp  
🗑
short lived and unstable   atp  
🗑
Adp   adenosine diphosphate  
🗑
plus phosphate   adp  
🗑
atp cant stockpile but what can   creatine phosphate  
🗑
atp is used to   synthesize creatine phosphate  
🗑
without oxygen   anaerobic respiration  
🗑
with oxygen   aerbic respiations  
🗑
increased respiations provide the oxygen to pay back the   oxygen debt  
🗑
amount of oxygen needed in chemical reaction   oxygen debt  
🗑
muscle tired   muscle fatigue  
🗑
equal distance   isometric  
🗑
equal tension   isotomic  
🗑
legnth of muscle does not change   isometric  
🗑
amount of tension produced by muscle   isotonic  
🗑
refers to constant tension   muscle tone  
🗑
contract and faTIGUE QUICKLY   FAST TWITH FIBERS  
🗑
contract more slowly and resistant to fatigue   slow twich fibers  
🗑
most stationary end of musle   origin  
🗑
end of muscle   insertion  
🗑
between origin and insertion   belly  
🗑
origins   head  
🗑
muscle work together to accomplish certain movements   synergist  
🗑
muscles that work in oppostion to another   antagonist  
🗑
accomplished the desired movement   prime mover  
🗑
mucsles have names that are   descriptive  
🗑
some are named by   location  
🗑
somee are named by   size  
🗑
some are named by   orientation of fibers  
🗑
some are named by   shape  
🗑
some are named by   origin  
🗑
some are named by   insertion  
🗑
some are named by   function  
🗑
fascicles are arranged in concentric rings   circular  
🗑
converge toward a single insertion tendon   convergent  
🗑
length of the fascicles run   parallel  
🗑
short fascicles attatch obliquely to a central tendon   pennate  
🗑
modification of paralle arrangment   fusiform  
🗑
covers frontal bone   frontalis  
🗑
lip muscle   orbicularis oris  
🗑
muscle extends from corner of mouth   zygamaticus  
🗑
