🗑
Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called?   Epimysium  
🗑
Another connective tissue located outside the epmysium   Fascia  
🗑
A muscle is composed of numerous visible bundles called muscle fasciculi, which are surrounded by?   Perimysium  
🗑
The fasciculi are composed of single muscle cells called?   Fibers  
🗑
Each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called?   Endomysium  
🗑
The cytoplasm of each fiber is filled with? Also it is a threadlike structure   Myofibrils  
🗑
Then myofilaments   Actin myofilaments  
🗑
Thick myofilaments   Myosin myofilaments  
🗑
Actin and myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units called?   Sacromeres  
🗑
The charge difference across the membrane is called?   Resting membrane potential  
🗑
The brief reversal back of the charge is called?   Action potential  
🗑
Nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers   Motor neurons  
🗑
Each branch that connects to the muscle forms?   Neuromuscular junction or Synapse  
🗑
A single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates are called?   Motor unit  
🗑
The enlarged nerve terminal is?   Presynaptic terminal  
🗑
The space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cells is?   Synaptic cleft  
🗑
The muscle fibers is the?   Postsynaptic terminal  
🗑
Each presynaptic terminal contains what?   Synaptic vesicles  
🗑
Synaptic vesicles secrets a neurotransmitter called?   Actetylcholine  
🗑

🗑
A contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus   Muscle Twitch  
🗑
A muscle fiber will not respond to stimulus until that stimulus reaches level   Threshold  
🗑
At which point the muscle fiber will contract maximally   All-or-none response  
🗑
The time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron and the beginning of a contraction   Lag Phase  
🗑
The time of contraction   Contraction Phase  
🗑
The time during which the muscle relaxes   Relaxation Phase  
🗑
The muscle remains contracted without relaxing   Tetany  
🗑
The increase in number of motor units being activated   Recruitment  
🗑
Needed for energy for muscle contraction   ATP  
🗑
ATP degenerates to the more stable ___ plus phosphate   ADP  
🗑
High end molecule in the muscle cells that get stored   Creatine phosphate  
🗑
Without oxygen   Anaerobic respiration  
🗑
With oxygen   Aerobic respiration  
🗑
The amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions   Oxygen debt  
🗑
Results when ATP is used during muscle contraction faster than it can be produced in the muscle cells   Muscle fatigue  
🗑
The length of the muscle does not change, but tension does   Isometric  
🗑
The amount of tension produced by the muscle is constant during contraction, but length changes   Isotonic  
🗑
Muscle tone refers to constant tension produced by muscles of the body for long periods of time   Muscle tone  
🗑
