Muscular System

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

Term
Definition
Muscular System includes   the skeletal muscles and accessory structures.  
🗑
Musculare system provides   mobility, movement, and it produces heat.  
🗑
The muscular system includes the skeletal muscles not the   cardiac or smooth muscle.  
🗑
Each muscular structure is made up of thousands of individual   muscle cell.  
🗑
Muscle cell also known as   fibers.  
🗑
Myofibrils are fibers of the muscle cell that are bound together within the cell membrane and a layer called   endomysium.  
🗑
fibers are bundled into   fascicles.  
🗑
Fascicles are surrounded by   perimysium.  
🗑
Fascicles are bundled into the muscle surrounded by   the epimysium and the deep fascia.  
🗑
Muscles are specialized for   contraction.  
🗑
Fibers _______ to produce movement.   shorten.  
🗑
Tendons   anchor muscle to bone and other muscles  
🗑
Tendons are made of   dense fiborous connective tissue.  
🗑
Deep fascia is what covers the muscle.    
🗑
Tendon merges with the   periosteum to anchor to the bone.  
🗑
What are the two muscle fiber anatomy?   Sacrolemma and Sacroplasm.  
🗑
Sacrolemma   is a special name for the cell membrane of a muscle cell.  
🗑
Sacroplasm   is a special name for the cytoplasm of th emuscle cell.  
🗑
Sacroplasm is filled iwth myofibrils and it stores   glycogen (engergy) and oxygen (breakdown).  
🗑
Sacroplasm contains sacromeres, the contractile units in the muscle fiber and it is bundles into groups called   myofilaments.  
🗑
Myofilaments are made of   actin and myosin.  
🗑
There are 6 parts of the anatony of a sacromere.   Z-line, Actin, Myosin, Titin, and Troponin & Tropomyosin.  
🗑
Z-line also known as   Z disc.  
🗑
Z-disc is a protein backbone that anchors   actin filaments.  
🗑
Z-disc forms the end boundaries of the   sacromeres.  
🗑
Actin also known as   thin filaments.  
🗑
Actin thin contractile protein that interacts with   myosin.  
🗑
Myosin also known as   thick filaments.  
🗑
Myosin has thicker contractile   proteins.  
🗑
Titin   proteins that anchors myosin to the Z-line.  
🗑
Actin forms a _____________ with myosin which shortens the sacromere.   crossbridge.  
🗑
Troponin & Tropomyosin   inhibits proteins that prevent contraction when relaxed.  
🗑
Troponin & Tropomyosin is attach to actin and blocks __________ from forming a cross bridge.   Myosin.  
🗑
Neuromuscular Junction   is a motor nerve ending at each muscle fiber. And it is one per fiber.  
🗑
Axon Termina also known as   Motor End Plate  
🗑
Motor End Plate also known as   Synaptic Knob.  
🗑
Axon Termina has an elarge end of the motor neuron   and it contains sacs of the neurotransmitter Acetycholine (ACh)  
🗑
Synapse also known as   synaptic cleft.  
🗑
Synapse is the junction between the ____________ and the ___________ _____________.   axon terminal and muscle fiber sarcolemma.  
🗑
Acetycholine is release across the synapse is called   exocytosis.  
🗑
Sarcolemma   is the cell membrane of the muscle fiber.  
🗑
Abbreviation for Acetycholine   ACh  
🗑
ACh attached ot the _____________ in the sacrolemma.   receptors.  
🗑
ACh causes ______________ impulses in the sacrolemma   electrical.  
🗑
Electrical signals travels through the   sarcolemma.  
🗑
Cholinesterase _______________ ACh.   deactivates.  
🗑
T-tubules   tubes that allow signals to travel into the cell.  
🗑
Sacroplasmic reticulum   ER of the muscle cell and stores Calcium ions.  
🗑
Contraction   Calcium is released from the sacroplasmic reticulum binds to troponin and tropomyosin and actin is exposed.  
🗑
Contraction causes actin filaments to pull against mysoin filaments called the   sliding filament mechanism.  
🗑
In contraction the brain recruits higher numbers of _________ based on need.   fibers.  
🗑
Parts of the muscle function are   Origin, Belly, Insertion, Action, and Heads.  
🗑
Origin is where the muscles originate and usually the more _____________ of the two ends.   stationary.  
🗑
Belly   is the thick middle part of the muscle.  
🗑
Insertion   is the opposite of the origin. And is across at least one joint from the origin.  
🗑
Insertion moves toward the origin and shortens the muscle, this determines   Action.  
🗑
Heads   some muscles have more that one belly that we call heads.  
🗑
There are 5 muscle relationships which are   Action, Prime mover, Antagonist, Synergist, and Thermogenisis.  
🗑
Action also known as function, makes the movement of a muscle that   contracts.  
🗑
Prime Mover (Biceps) also known as   Protagonist.  
🗑
Prime mover is the primary muscle that brings about the   desired movement.  
🗑
Antagonist (Tricep)   is the muscle that does the opposite of the prime mover.  
🗑
Synergist (Brachialis Radius)   is the secondary muscles that bring about the desired movement and it assist the prime mover.  
🗑
Relative Terms   A muscle can be a prime mover for one action, but it can be the anatagonist for the opposite action.  
🗑
Thermgenesis   is a heat production from normal muscle metabolism, due to checmical reaction and friction.
