Question
Answer
Connective tissue surrounding a fascicle   Perimysium  
🗑
Connective tissue ensheathing the entire muscle   Epimysium  
🗑
Contractile unit of muscle   Sarcomere  
🗑
A muscle Cell   Fiber  
🗑
Thin connective tissue investing each muscle cell   Endomysium  
🗑
Plasma membrane of the muscle cell   Sarcolemma  
🗑
A long, filamentous organelle found within muscle cells that has a banded appearance   Myofilament  
🗑
Actin- or myosin-containing structure   Myofibril  
🗑
Cordlike extension of connective tissue beyond the muscle, serving to attach it to the bone   Tendon  
🗑
A discrete bundle of muscle cells   Fascicle  
🗑
Outside epimysium   fascia  
🗑
Only actin, spans Z-line and ends at myosin   I-Band  
🗑
Length of the myosin   A-Band  
🗑
Only myosin in the center   H-Zone  
🗑
Myosin anchored in - cell membrane   M-Line  
🗑
Time between application to a motor neuron and beginning of contraction   Lag Phase  
🗑
Time of Contraction   Contraction Phase  
🗑
Occurs immediately after contraction phase - dont always get this   Relaxation Phase  
🗑
Contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus that causes an action potential in one or more fibers   Muscle Twitch  
🗑
Sufficient strength of a stimulus to create an ALL OR NONE RESPONSE   Threshold  
🗑
When actine and myosin filaments slide past one another causing sarcomeres to shorten   Sliding Filament Mechanism  
🗑
Charge difference   Resting Membrane Potential  
🗑
Back to resting/fast - 50 times a second   Repolarization  
🗑
Causes cell to become permeable to sodium ions   Depolarization  
🗑
Rapid depolarization and repolaration, results in muscle contraction   Action Potential  
🗑
carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers   Motor Neurons  
🗑
Between nerve cells or between nerve cell and effector cell (muscle or gland)   Synapse  
🗑
Single motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers it innervates, many per muscle   Motor Unit  
🗑
Axon   Presynaptic Terminal  
🗑
Space between the musclefiber and nerve   Synaptic Cleft  
🗑
Muscle fiber membrane   Postsynaptic Membrane  
🗑
Contain Acetylcholine   Synaptic Vesicles  
🗑
Increase number of motor neurons activated   Recruitment  
🗑
When muscle remains contracted between stimuli - no relaxation phase   Tetanus  
🗑
Amount of tension increases during contraction but length of muscle does not change - muscle strength   Isometric  
🗑
Amount of tension is constant but length of muscle decreases   Isotonic  
🗑
Constant tension of muscle fibers for long periods of time   Muscle Tone  
🗑
Contract quickly and fatigue quickly   Fast-Twitch fibers  
🗑


   

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.
