🗑
Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called   The epimysium  
🗑
______ is another connective tissue located outside the epimysium   Fascia  
🗑
The fasciculi are composed of single muscle cells called ______   Fibers  
🗑
Each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the   Perimysium  
🗑

🗑
Thin myofilaments   Actin myofilaments  
🗑
Thick myofilaments   Myosin myofilaments  
🗑

🗑
What band extends the length of the myosin   The A band  
🗑
On each side of the Z line is a light area called   I band  
🗑
The change 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   Neuromuscular junction  
🗑
A single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates are called   A motor unit  
🗑
The enlarged merger terminal   Presynaptic terminal  
🗑
Space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell is the   Synaptic cleft  
🗑
Each presynaptic terminal contains   Synaptic vesicles  
🗑
A contraction of the entire in response to a stimulus that causes the action potential in on of more muscle   Muscle twitch  
🗑
The time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron and the beginning of a contraction is the   Lag phase  
🗑
The time of contraction is the   Contraction phase  
🗑

🗑
ATP   is needed for energy for muscle contraction  
🗑
ATP   Is produced in the mitochondria  
🗑
ATP   Is short lived and unstable  
🗑

🗑
Muscles that work in opposition to one another are called   Antagonists  
🗑
Most stationary end of the muscle   Origin (head)  
🗑
The end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement   Insertion  
🗑
Portion of the muscle between the origin and the insertion is the   Belly  
🗑
