Question
Answer
Four major functional characteristics   Contractility Excitability Extensibility Elasticity    
🗑
The ability of skeletal muscles to shorten with force   Contractility

🗑
The ability to be stretched   Extensibility    
🗑
Ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched   Elasticity    
🗑
Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the   Epimysium    
🗑
Another connective tissue located outside the epimysium. Surrounds & separates muscles.   Fascia    
🗑
Threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other   Myofibrils    
🗑
The fasciculi are composed of single muscle cells called   Fibers    
🗑
Myofibrils consist of 2 major kinds of protein fibers:   Actin & myosin myofilaments    
🗑
Thin myofilaments   Actin myofilaments    
🗑
Thick myofilaments   Myosin myofilaments    
🗑
Actin and myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units called   Sarcomeres    
🗑
What is the basic structural and functional unity of the muscle?   The Sarcomere    
🗑
Nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers   Motor neurons    
🗑
Occurs as actin and myosin myofilaments slide past one another causing the sarcomeres to shorten.   Muscle contraction    
🗑
A contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus that causes the action potential in one or more muscle fibers   Muscle twitch    
🗑
• is needed for energy for muscle contraction • is produced in the mitochondria • is short-lived and unstable   ATP (adenosine triphosphate)    
🗑
Without oxygen   Anaerobic respiration    
🗑
The portion of the muscle between the origin and the insertion is the   Belly    
🗑
The _____ is the end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement   Insertion    
🗑
The ____ is the most stationary end of the muscle   Origin    
🗑
Muscles that work together to accomplish specific movements are called   Synergists    
🗑
Muscles that work in opposition to one another   Antagonists    
🗑
Most muscles have names that are   Descriptive    
🗑
Some muscles are named according to their   Location, size, orientation of fibers, shape, origin, insertion, and function, etc.    
🗑
Occipitofrontalis   Raises the eyebrows    
🗑
Orbicularis oculi   Closes the eyelid and causes "crow feet"    
🗑
