Question
Answer
In the neuromuscular junction, the end of the motor neuron is called the:   Axon Terminal  
🗑
In the neuromuscular junction, the membrane of the muscle fiber is called   Sarcolemma  
🗑
The sarcoplasmic reticulum of a muscle fiber contains.   Calcium ions  
🗑
Within a sarcomere, the contracting proteins are:   mysoin and actin  
🗑
During a state of polarization,___ ions are abundant outside the cell, and ____ ions are abundant inside the cell.   Sodium / potassium  
🗑
During a state of polarization, the sarcolemma has a ___ charge outside and a ___ charge inside.   positive / negative  
🗑
During DEPOLARIZATION, the sarcolemma has a ___ charge outside and a ___ charge inside.   negative / positive  
🗑
When repolarization takes place,is potassium indside or outside the cell? Is sodium inside or outside the cell?   outside / inside  
🗑
DEPOLARIZATION of a muscle fiber is stimulated by   Acetylcholine  
🗑
In the sliding filament mechanism of a muscle contraction,the stimulus for contraction is   Acetylcholine  
🗑
In the sliding filament mechanism of a muscle contraction,the proteins that inhibit contractions are   troponin and tropomyosin  
🗑
In the sliding filament mechanism of a muscle contraction, the proteins that slide past each other as the muscle fiber shortens are   actin / myosin  
🗑
For relaxation of the muscle to occur,__inactivates acetylcholine and ___ ions returned to the sarcoplasmic reticulum.   Cholinesterase / calcium  
🗑
A layer of connective tissue covering each muscle fiber.   Endomysium  
🗑
The layer of connective tissue covering the whole muscle.   Epimysium  
🗑
The cell membrane of each muscle fiber.   Sarcolemma  
🗑
Layer of connective tissue that covers the fascicles within each muscle.   Perimysium  
🗑
What two things happen to stimulate muscle contractions?   release of acetylcholine at motor end plate and release of calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
Which myofibril does calcium bind to after release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum   Tropin  
🗑
Myosin forms a crossbridge when it binds to actin and pulls the actin. True or False   True  
🗑
What is required to help release the myosin heads from the actin and get them back into a cocked position?   ATP is needed for the myosin head crossbridge to detach from actin and re-cock  
🗑


   

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.
