        Help!  

Question
Answer
Connective tissue, enshething a bundle of muscle cells   perimysium  
🗑
Connective tissue, enshething the entire muscle   epimysium  
🗑
Contractile unit of muscle   sarcomere  
🗑
A muscle cell   fiber  
🗑
Thin, reticular connective tissue investing each muscle cell   endomysium  
🗑
Cell membrane of a muscle cell   sarcolemma  
🗑
A long, filamentous organelle found withhin muscle cells; has a banded appearance.   myofilament  
🗑
Actin or myosin containing structure   myofibril  
🗑
cord-like extension of connective tissue beyond the muscle, serving to attach it to the bone.   tendon  
🗑
voluntary muscle   skeletal  
🗑
A band   myosin  
🗑
I band   actin  
🗑
The junction between a motor neuron's axon and the muscle cell membrane.   neuromuscular  
🗑
A motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle cells it stimulates   motor unit  
🗑
the actual gap between an axonal ending and the muscle cell   synaptic cleft  
🗑
a neurotransmitter within the motor unit   Acetylcholine  
🗑
Na+   Sodium ions  
🗑
K+   Potassium ions  
🗑
Ca+   Calcium ions  
🗑
specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum   sarcoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
thick filaments   myosin  
🗑
thin filaments   actin  
🗑
Several sheathed muscle fibers wrapped by a perimysium   fascicle  
🗑
single, brief, jerky contraction   muscle twitch  
🗑
nerve impulse   action potential  
🗑
causes muscle soreness   lactic acid  
🗑
production of ATP without oxygen.   anaerobic respiration  
🗑
production of ATP with oxygen   aerobic respiration  
🗑
produces the most ATP molecules   aerobic respiration  
🗑
energy molecules   ATP  
🗑
anaerobic respiration waste   lactic acid  
🗑
wasting away of muscle   atrophy  
🗑
contraction in which muscle shortens and movement occurs   isotonic contraction  
🗑
contraction in which tension increases but muscle doesn't shorten and movement does not occur.   isometric contraction  
🗑
muscle can no longer contract.   muscle fatigue  
🗑
the state of continuous partial contractions   muscle tone  
🗑
rapid stimuli with no evidence of relaxation and the contractions are completely smooth and sustained.   tetanus  
🗑
an electrical event occuring when sodium ions move within a neuron.   action potential  
🗑
"resting cell"   polarized  
🗑
the rush of sodium ions into a cell and potassium ion out of the cell. "action potential"   depolarization  
🗑
the return to a cell is that is said to be "resting".   repolarization  
🗑
causes a nerve cell to produce a action potential.   stimuli  
🗑
a ion on the myofilaments, that causes the myofilaments to slide past one another.   calcium  
🗑
contraction occurs in which muscle shorten and work in done.   isotonic  
🗑
contraction occurs in which the muscle does not shorten but tension in the muscle keeps increasing and no movement occurs.   isometric  
🗑
energy source used to make ATP during aerobic respiration.   glucose  
🗑
number of ATP molecules made during aerobic respiration.   36  
🗑


   

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.
