        Help!  

Question
Answer
Four major functional characteristics?   contractility, excitability, extensibility,elasticity  
🗑
ability of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus?   Contractility  
🗑
capacity of skeletal muscle muscle to respond to stimulus?   excitability  
🗑
ability to be stretched   extensibility  
🗑
ability to recoil   elasticity  
🗑
What do muscles do?   produce heat essential for maintenance of normal body temp  
🗑
Skeletal muscle is surrounded by?   epimysium  
🗑
tissue located ouside of the epimysium?   Fascia  
🗑
Muscle is composed of numerous visible bundles called?   fasciculi  
🗑
Fasciculi is surrounded by?   perimysium  
🗑
Single muscle cells?   fibers  
🗑
Each fiber is surrounded by?   endomysium  
🗑
thread like structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other?   myofibrils  
🗑
2 major kinds of protein fibers?   actin myofilaments, myosin myofilaments  
🗑
thin myofilaments   actin  
🗑
thick myofilaments   myosin  
🗑
Actin and myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units called?   sarcomeres  
🗑
basic structural and functional unity of the muscle?   sarcomeres  
🗑
Sarcomeres extend from?   z line to z line  
🗑
The z line is an light area called?   an I band  
🗑
I band contains?   actin  
🗑
darker central region in each sarcomere?   A band  
🗑
A band contains?   myosin  
🗑
Charge difference across the membrane?   resting membrance potential  
🗑
brief reversal back of the charge?   action potential  
🗑
nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers?   motor neurons  
🗑
Each branch that connects to the muscle forms?   neuromusclular junction  
🗑
neuromusclular junction?   synapse  
🗑
single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates?   motor unit  
🗑
enlarged nerve terminal?   presynaptic terminal  
🗑
space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell is the?   synaptic cleft  
🗑
each presynaptic terminal contanins?   synaptic vesicles  
🗑
Synaptic vesicles secrete?   acetycholine  
🗑
Sliding actin myofilaments past myosin myofilaments during contraction?   sliding filament mechanism  
🗑
contraction of an entire muscle?   muscle twitch  
🗑
muscle fiber will not respond to stimulus until stimulus reaches a level called?   threshold  
🗑
time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron and beginning of a contraction?   lag phase  
🗑
time of contraction?   contraction phase  
🗑
time during which the muscle relaxes?   relaxation phase  
🗑
where muscles remain contracted without relaxing?   tetany  
🗑
increase in number of motor units being activated is called?   recruitment  
🗑
anaerobic respiration?   without oxygen  
🗑
aerobic respiration?   with oxygen  
🗑
the amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions to covert lactic acid to glucose and to replenish the depleted stores of creatine phosphate stores in muscle smell   oxygen debt  
🗑
when ATP is used during muscle contraction faster than it can be produced   Muscle fatigue  
🗑
length of muscle does not change, but amount of tension increases during contraction process   isometric  
🗑
amount of tension produced by the muscle is constant during contraction, but the length of the muscle changes   isotonic  
🗑
constant tension produced by muscles of the body for long periods of time   muscle tone  
🗑
contract quickly and fatigue quickly   fast-twitch fibers  
🗑
contract more slowly and are more resistant to fatigue   Slow-twitch fibers  
🗑
orgin(head)   most stationary end of the muscle  
🗑
insertion   end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement  
🗑
portion of the muscle between the origin and insertion   belly  
🗑
