Question
Answer
Latin word for “little mouse”   Muscle  
🗑
  1. Skeletal Muscle Tissue 2. Cardiac Muscle Tissue, & 3. Smooth Muscle Tissue  
🗑
squeezes fluids and other substances through hollow organs   Smooth muscle  
🗑
4 main functions of Muscle Tissue   1) Maintenance of posture & producing body movement—enables the body to remain sitting or standing 2) Stabilizating body positions 3) Storing & moving substances within the body 4) Heat generation  
🗑
4 main features of Muscle Tissue   Contractility-long cells shorten and generate pulling force Excitability-electrical nerve impulse stimulate contraction Extensibility-stretched back to its original length by contraction of an opposing muscle Elasticit-recoil after being stretched  
🗑
Packaged into skeletal muscles Makes up 40% of body weight Cells are striated    
🗑
occupies the walls of hollow organs, squeezes fluids and other substances through hollow organs, cells lack striations    
🗑
Cells of smooth and skeletal muscle are known as:   fibers  
🗑
Plasma membrane of muscle cells is called the   sarcolemma  
🗑
Cystoplasm of muscle cells is called the   sarcoplasm  
🗑
Each muscle is an organ   Each muscle is an organ  
🗑
dense regular connective tissue surrounding entire muscle   Epimysium  
🗑
surrounds each fascicle (group of muscle fibers)   Perimysium  
🗑
a fine sheath of connective tissue wrapping each muscle cell   Endomysium  
🗑
Connective tissue sheaths are continuous with tendons   Connective tissue sheaths are continuous with tendons  
🗑
provide elasticity and carry blood vessels and nerves   Sheaths  
🗑
Each skeletal muscle is supplied by branches of   One nerve One artery One or more veins  
🗑
Smallest nerve branches serve    
🗑
Bone markings present where tendons meet bones:   Tubercles, trochanters, and crests  
🗑
Length and diameter of skeletal muscle fiber ((very large)):   Diameter:10–100µm Length: several centimeters  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle Tissue cells are multinucleate and the nuclei are peripherally located   Skeletal Muscle Tissue cells are multinucleate and the nuclei are peripherally located  
🗑
Striations result from   myofibrils  
🗑
Are long rods within cytoplasm Make up 80% of the cytoplasm Are a specialized contractile organelle found in muscle tissue Are a long row of repeating segments called sarcomeres (functional unit of Skeletal MT)   Myofibrils  
🗑
Overlap inner ends of the thin filaments Contain ATPase enzymes   Thick (myosin) filaments  
🗑
Full length of the thick filament (includes inner end of thin filaments)   A bands  
🗑
center part of A band where no thin filaments occur   H zone  
🗑
A bands and I bands refract polarized light differently: A bands —anisotropic I bands —isotropic   A bands and I bands refract polarized light differently: A bands —anisotropic I bands —isotropic  
🗑
in center of H zone Contains tiny rods that hold thick filaments together   M line  
🗑
region with only thin filaments Lies within two adjacent sarcomeres   I band  
🗑
A specialized smooth ER that contains calcium ions that are released when muscle is stimulated to contract    
🗑
What do calcium ions trigger when by diffusing through the cytoplasm?   Sliding filament mechanism  
🗑
deep invaginations of sarcolemma   T tubules  
🗑
  Triad  
🗑
muscle shortens to do work   Concentric contraction  
🗑
muscle generates force as it lengthens   Eccentric contraction (resists gravity) (e.g. "Down" portion of a pushup)  
🗑
Striation pattern when fully relaxed   thin filaments partially overlap thin filaments  
🗑
Striation pattern when contracted   Z discs move closer together Sarcomere shortens I bands shorten, H zone disappears A band remains the same length  
🗑
Muscle is stretched by a movement opposite that which contracts it   Muscle extension  
🗑
The greatest force is produced when a fiber:   starts out slightly stretched  
🗑
Myosin heads can pull along the entire length of the thin filaments   Myosin heads can pull along the entire length of the thin filaments  
🗑
a spring-like molecule in sarcomeres Resists overstretching Holds thick filaments in place Unfolds when muscle is stretched   Titin  
🗑
point where nerve ending and muscle fiber meet   Neuromuscular junction  
🗑
Ends of axons Store neurotransmitters   Axon terminals  
🗑
space between axon terminal and sarcolemma   Synaptic cleft  
🗑
2 characteristic categories of skeletal muscle fibers   1) How they manufacture energy (ATP) 2) How quickly they contract  
🗑
produce ATP aerobically   Oxidative fibers  
🗑
produce ATP anaerobically   Glycolytic fibers  
🗑
3 classes of skeletal muscle fibers    
🗑
Red color due to abundant myoglobin Obtain energy from aerobic metabolic reactions Contain a large number of mitochondria Richly supplied with capillaries Contract slowly and resistant to fatigue Fibers are small in diameter   Slow oxidative fibers  
🗑
Have an intermediate diameter Contract quickly like fast glycolytic fibers Are oxygen-dependent Have high myoglobin content and rich supply of capillaries Somewhat fatigue-resistant More powerful than slow oxidative fibers   Fast oxidative fibers  
🗑
Muscle tissues have few disorders (with the exception of the heart) Skeletal muscle is remarkably resistant to infection Smooth muscle problems stem from external irritants   Muscle tissues have few disorders (with the exception of the heart) Skeletal muscle is remarkably resistant to infection Smooth muscle problems stem from external irritants  
🗑
A group of inherited muscle destroying disease Affected muscles enlarge with fat and connective tissue Muscles degenerate    
🗑
2 types of muscular dystrophy    
🗑
Skeletal muscles contract by which week of development?   Week 7  
🗑
Pumps blood three weeks after fertilization   Cardiac muscle  
🗑
Surround skeletal muscle fibers Resemble undifferentiated myoblasts Fuse into existing muscle fibers to help them grow   Satellite cells  
🗑
Decrease in muscular strength is 50% by age   80  
🗑
muscle wasting   Sarcopenia  
🗑


   

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.
