Muscle 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
Epimysium   Exterior collagen layer.Separates muscle from surrounding tissue  
🗑
Perimysium   Surrounds muscle fiber bundles (fascicles) Contains blood vessel and nerve supply to fascicles  
🗑
endomysium   surrounds the individual muscle cells (muscle fibers)Contains capillaries and nerve fibers containing muscle cells. Contains satellite cells (stem cells) that repair damage  
🗑
Tendon   A flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue attaching a muscle to a bone.  
🗑
Muscle fibers   muscle tissue  
🗑
Myoblast   muscle fibor  
🗑
Sarcoplasm   the cytoplasm of the strained muscle fiber  
🗑
Transverse Tubules   any of the small tubules which run transversely through a striated muscle fiber and through which electrical impulses are transmitted from the sacoplasm to the fibers interior  
🗑
Action Potential   a shot lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of the cell rapidly rises and falls  
🗑
Myofilaments   filaments of the myofibrils constructed from proteins  
🗑
Thin filaments   a myofilament of the two types making up myofibrils  
🗑
Thick filaments   one of the contractile elements in skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle fibers  
🗑
sarcoplasmic reticulum   a system of membrane tubules that surrounds muscle fibrils, releasing calcium ions during contraction and absorbing them during relaxation  
🗑
Triad   The junction between t tubules and the sarcoplasmic reticulum in the striated  
🗑
Cisternae   a sac or partially closed space containing body fluid, esp lymph or cerebrospinal fluid  
🗑
sarcomes   One of a group of tumors usually arising from connective tissue.  
🗑
myofibrils   are filaments of the proteins myosin and actin; these filaments slide past one another as the muscle contracts and expands.  
🗑
striated   muscle tissue that has repeating sarcomeres, in contrast with smooth muscle tissue. Specifically, striated muscles are Skeletal striated muscle Branchiomeric muscle (embryologically different from skeletal muscle) Cardiac muscle (heart muscle)  
🗑
Troponin   Troponin is a complex of three regulatory proteins (troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T) that is integral to muscle contraction in skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle, but not smooth muscle.  
🗑
Tropomyosin   s a two-stranded alpha-helical coiled coil protein found in cell cytoskeletons.  
🗑
Active site   a small port in an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction occurs when a substrate collides with and slots into the active site of an enzyme  
🗑
Actn   the most abundant protein in most eukaryotic cells. It is highly conserved and participates in more protein-protein interactions than any known protein  
🗑
Myosin   ATP dependent also know for their muscle contractions. large superfamily of motor proteins that move along actin filaments,  
🗑
Neuromuscular junction   connects the nervous system to the muscular system via synapses between efferent nerve fibers and muscle fibers, also known as muscle cells.  
🗑
sarcolemma   the cell membrane of a striated muscle fiber cell.  
🗑


   

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.
