Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
the ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force   contractility  
🗑
the capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus   excitability  
🗑
the ability to be stretched   extensibility  
🗑
the ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched   elasticity  
🗑
muscles help to produce ____________ essential for maintenance of normal body temperature   heat  
🗑
each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath   epimysium  
🗑
connective tissue located outside the epymysium   fascia  
🗑
muscle composed of numerous visible bundles called muscle ____________   fasciculi  
🗑
fasciculi is surrounded by loose connective tissue called   perimysium  
🗑
muscle cells are called muscle ___________   fibers  
🗑
each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called   endomysium  
🗑
the cytoplasm of each fiber is filled with   myofibrils  
🗑
a threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other   myofibrils  
🗑
myofibrils consist of 2 major kinds of protein fibers called ________   actin myofilaments & myosin myofilaments  
🗑
thin myofilaments   actin myofilaments  
🗑
thick myofilaments   myosin myofilaments  
🗑
the basic structural and functional unity of the muscle   sacomere  
🗑
the outside of most cell membranes are _________ charged   positively  
🗑
the inside of a cell membrane is __________ charged   negatively  
🗑
the charge difference across the membrane is called the ____________________   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 a _____________________ near the center of the cell   neuromusclular junction or synapse  
🗑
single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates are called ________   motor unit  
🗑
the enlarged nerve terminal is the   presynaptic terminal  
🗑
the space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell is the   synaptic cleft  
🗑
the muscle fiber is the   postsynaptic terminal  
🗑
each presynaptic terminal contains   synaptic vesicles  
🗑
synaptic vesicles secrete a neurotransmitter called   acetylcholine  
🗑
the sliding of actin myofilaments past myosin myofilaments during contraction is   sliding filament mechanism  
🗑
contraction of an entire muscle is response to a stimulus that causes the action potential in one or more muscle fibers   muscle twitch  
🗑
muscle fibers will not respond to stimulus until that stimulus reaches a level called   threshold  
🗑
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 is   lag phase  
🗑
the time of contraction is the   contraction phase  
🗑
the time during which the muscle relaxes is the   relaxation phase  
🗑
where the muscle remains contracted without relaxing   tetany  
🗑
the increase in number of motor units being activated is called   recruitment  
🗑
____ is needed for energy for muscle contraction   ATP  
🗑
ATP is produced in the   mitochondria  
🗑
ATP degenerates to the more stable   ADP  
🗑
high energy molecule   creatine phosphate  
🗑
without oxygen   Anaerobic respiration  
🗑
with oxygen   aerobic respiration  
🗑
_______ the amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions to convert lactic acid to glucose   oxygen debt  
🗑
______ results when ATP is used during contraction   muscle fibers  
🗑
the 2 types of muscle contractions   isometric & isotonic  
🗑
equal distance   isometric  
🗑
equal tension   isotonic  
🗑
constant tension produced by muscles of the body for long periods of time   muscle tone  
🗑
contract quickly and fatigue quickly   fast twitch fibers  
🗑
the points of attachment of each muscle are its _____ & _______   origin & insertion  
🗑
at these attachment points the muscle is connected to the bone by a   tendon  
🗑
(head) the most stationary end of the muscle   origin  
🗑
the end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement   insertion  
🗑
the portion of the muscle between the origin and the insertion is the   belly  
🗑
muscles that work together to accomplish specific movements are called   synergists  
🗑
muscles that work in opposition to one another are called   antagonists  
🗑
if one muscle plays the major role in accomplishing the desired movement   prime mover  
🗑
raises the eyebrows   occipitofrontalis  
🗑
closes the eyelids   orbicularis oculi  
🗑
puckers the lips   orbicularis oris  
🗑
flattens the cheeks   buccinator  
🗑
what are the kissing muscles   orbicularis oris & buccinator  
🗑
smiling muscle   zygomaticus  
🗑
sneering   levator labii superioris  
🗑
frowning   depressor anguli oris  
🗑
chewing   mastication  
🗑
how many pairs of mastication muscles are there   4  
🗑
what the mastication muscles   2 pair pterygoids, temporalis, & masseter  
🗑
change the shape of the tongue   intrinsic tongue muscles  
🗑
move the tongue   extrinsic tongue muscles  
🗑
lateral neck muscle and prime mover   sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
sheetlike muscle that covers the anterolateral neck   platysma  
🗑
group of muscles on each side of the back   erector spinae  
🗑
muscles that move the thorax   thoracic muscles  
🗑
