Question
Answer
Excitability   capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus  
🗑
Extensibility   ability to be stretched  
🗑
Elasticity   ability recoil to original shape after being stretched  
🗑
Epimysium    
🗑
fascia   connective tissue located outside the epimysium  
🗑
contractability   ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force  
🗑
fibers   fasciculi are composed of single muscle cells  
🗑
perimysium   loose connective tisse surrounding the facicle  
🗑
Endomysium   each fiber is surrounded by connective tissue sheath  
🗑
Myofibrils   a thread like structure the extends to each end of fiber  
🗑
actin Myofiliment   thin myofiliment  
🗑
Actin Myofiliment   resembles two mintue strands of pearls twisted together  
🗑
Myosin Myofiliments   thick myofiliments  
🗑
Myosin Myofiliment   resemble bundles of minute golf clubs  
🗑
Motor Neurons   nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscles  
🗑
Synapse   each axon branch that connects to muscle  
🗑
Motor Unit   a single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fiber it innervates  
🗑
Presynaptic Terminal   enlarged nerve terminal  
🗑
Synaptic Cleft   space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell  
🗑
Postsynaptic terminal   the muscle fiber  
🗑
Sliding filament mechanism   Sliding of actin myofiliments past myosin myofiliments during contraction  
🗑
Muscle twitch   contraction of entire muscle  
🗑
threshold   a level of stimulusa muscle fiber must reach before it will respond  
🗑
all-or-none response   when it reaches threshold, contract maximumly  
🗑
25-Lag phase   time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron  
🗑
contraction phase   the time of contration  
🗑
relaxation phase    
🗑


   

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.
