Question
Answer
The ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force?   Contractility  
🗑

🗑
the ability to bw streched?   Extensibility  
🗑
Ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched?   Elasticity  
🗑

🗑
The fasciculi are composed of single muscle cells called?   Fibers  
🗑
Each fiber is surrouned by a connective tissue sheath called?   Endomysium  
🗑
The cytoplasm of each fiber is filled with?   Myofibrils  
🗑
A threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other?   Myofibrils  
🗑
Myofibrils consist of 2 major kinds of protein fibers:   Actin and Myosin Myofilaments  
🗑
Resemble 2 minute strands of pearls twisted together?   Actin  
🗑
Resemble bundles of minute golf clubs?   Myosin  
🗑
Actin and myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units called?   Sarcomeres  
🗑
The basic stuctural and functional unit of the muscle?   Saromere  
🗑
The charge difference across the membrane is called?   resting membrane potential  
🗑
When a muscle cell is stimulated the membrane charateristics change briefly, the brief reversal back of the charge is called?   action potential  
🗑
Nerve cells that carry action potentials to the sketetal muscle fibers?   motor neurons  
🗑
Axons enter the muscles and branch, each branch that connects to the muscle forms?   A neuromusclular junction or synapse  
🗑
A single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers in innervates are called?   a motor unit  
🗑
the enlarged nerve terminal:   presynaptoc terminal  
🗑
Space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell :   synaptic cleft  
🗑
Each presynaptic terminal contains:   synaptic vesicles  
🗑
Synaptic vesicles secrete a neurotransmitter called?   acetylcholine  
🗑
The acetylcholine released into the synaptic cleft between the neuron and muscle cell is rapidly broken down by an enzymes:   Acetylcholinesterase  
🗑
Occurs as action and myosin myofilaments slide past one another causing the sarcomeres to shorten:   Muscle Contraction  
🗑
Tje sliding of action mypfilaments past myosin myofilments during contraction is called?   Sliding Filament Mechanism  
🗑
Contraction of an entire muscle in responce to a stimulus that causes the avtion potential in one or more muscle fibers:   Muscle Twitch  
🗑
A muscle fiber will not respong to a stimulus unti that stimulus reaches a level called?   threshold  
🗑
The time between app;ication of a stimulus to a motor neuron and the beginning of a contraction is?   the lag phase  
🗑
Time of contraction:   contraction phase  
🗑
Time during which the muscle relaxes:   relaxation phase  
🗑
Muscle remains contracted without relaxing:   Tetany  
🗑
The increase in number of motor units being activated is called?   recruitment  
🗑
Needed for energy for muscle contraction:   ATP (adenosine triphosphate)  
🗑
ATP is:   produced in the mitochondria, short-lived and unstable  
🗑
when at rest they cant stockplie ATP but they can store another high engery molecule called?   creatine phosphate  
🗑
Anaerobic Respiration:   without oxygen  
🗑
Aerobic Respiration:   with oxygen  
🗑
The amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions to convert lactic acid to glucose and to replenish the depleted stores of creatine phosphate stores in muscle cells:   Oxygen Debt  
🗑
Results when ATP is used during muscle contraction faster than it can be produced in the muscle cell:   muscle fatigue  
🗑
The length of the muscle does not change, but the amount of tension increases during the contraction process:   Isometric (equal distance)  
🗑
The amount of tension prodused by the muscle is constant during contraction, but the length of the muscle changes:   Isotonic (equal tension)  
🗑
Constant tension produced by muscles of the body for long periods of time:   Muscle Tone  
🗑
Contract quickly and fatigue quickly:   Fast-Twitch Fibers (white meat of a chickens breast)  
🗑
Contract more slowly and are more resistant to fatigue:   Slow-Twitch Fibers (dark meat of a ducks breast or leg of chicken)  
🗑
The most stationary end of the muscle:   Origin (head)  
🗑
The end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movment:   Insertion  
🗑
The portion of the muscle between the orgin and the insertion:   belly  
🗑
Muscles that work together to accomplish specific movements are called?   synergists  
🗑
Muscles that work in opposition to one another are called?   antagonists  
🗑
Among a group of synergists, if one muscle plays the major role in accomplishing the desired movement, it is:   the prime mover
