What structure in skeletal muscle cells functions in calcium storage?   Sarcoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
Immediately following the arrival of the stimulus at a skeletal muscle cell there is a short period called the _______ period during which the events of excitation-contraction coupling occur   latent  
🗑
What produces the striation of a skeletal muscle?   the arrangement of myofilaments  
🗑
Which of the following are composed of myosin?   thick filaments  
🗑
During muscle contraction, myosin cross bridges attach to which active sites?   actin filaments  
🗑
What is the functional unit of a skeletal muscle called?   a sarcomere  
🗑
What is the functional role of the T tubules?   allows actin potential to travel from sarcolemma into sarcoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
The muscle cell membrane is called the _____   sarcolemma  
🗑
Muscle tissue has all of the following properties except ______   secretion  
🗑
Which of the following statements is true?   Striated muscle cells are long and cylindrical with many nuclei  
🗑
What is the most distinguishing characteristic of muscle tissue?   the ability to transform chemical energy into mechanical energy  
🗑
  ON PAPER  
🗑
The muscle cannot respond to a second stimulus, no matter how strong   Absolute refractory period  
🗑
The interior of the cell becomes less negative due to an influx of sodium ions   Depolarization  
🗑
The specific period during which potassium ions diffuse out of the muscle fiber due to a change in membrane permeability   Repolarization  
🗑
Also called a muscle stimulation transmitted by axons   Action potential  
🗑
An exceptionally strong stimulus can trigger a response   Relative refractory period  
🗑
An impulse from one nerve cell is communicated to a muscle fiber via the _____   synapse  
🗑
What is the role of acetylcholinesterase?   Destroy ACh o brief period after its release by the axon endings  
🗑
Compare and contrast skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle   Skeletal- striated, voluntary Cardiac- involuntary, striated, found in heart Smooth- voluntary, not striated, hollow organs  
🗑
A fibrous joint that is a peg in socket called a ____ joint   Gomphosis  
🗑
Articular cartilage found at the ends of the long bones serves to   provide a smooth surface at the ends of synovial joints  
🗑
On the basis of structural classification, which joint is fibrous connective tissue?   syndesmosis  
🗑
Connective tissue sacs lined with synovial membranes that act as cushions in places where friction develops are called _____   bursae  
🗑
Articulations permitting only slight degrees of movement are ____   amphiarthroses  
🗑
_______ are cartilaginous joints   Synchondroses  
🗑
Bending your head back until it hurts is an example of ____   hyperextension

🗑
The terms inversion and eversion pertain only to the ____   feet

🗑


   

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.
