Chapter 6 Muscles

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Muscle Cells   Muscle fibers  
🗑
3 types of muscle   Skeletal, cardiac, smooth  
🗑
contractility   shorten with force  
🗑
excitability   respond to stimulus  
🗑
extensibility   ability to be stretched  
🗑
elasticity   ability to recoil to original length  
🗑
superficial layer of connective tissue   fascia  
🗑
layer of connective tissues attached to the muscle   epimysium  
🗑
visible bundles that make up muscles   fascicle  
🗑
surrounds the fascicle   perimysium  
🗑
single muscle cells in the fascicle   fibers  
🗑
fibers are surrounded by the   endomysium  
🗑
the cytoplasm of muscle fibers is made up of   myofibrils  
🗑
myofibrils   a thread like structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other  
🗑
2 types of myofibrils   actin and myosin microfilaments  
🗑
Myofilaments form highly ordered units called   sarcomeres  
🗑
sarcomeres extend from one attachment to the other. These are called   z lines  
🗑
on each side of the z band is a light area called   i bands  
🗑
what band stretches the lengths of the sarcomere   a band  
🗑
light area in the middle of the sarcomere; only consists of myosin   h zone  
🗑
dark staining band in the center of the sarcomere   m line  
🗑
reversal of the muscles charge   action potential  
🗑
motor neuron   nerve cells that carry action potentials  
🗑
enlarged nerve terminal   presynaptic terminal  
🗑
space between the presynaptic terminal and muscle cell is   synaptic cleft  
🗑
the muscle fiber   postsynaptic terminal  
🗑
causes the muscle to contract   acetylcholine  
🗑
causes the muscle to relax   acetylcholinesterate  
🗑
muscle twitch   contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus  
🗑
The time between the stimulus and the contraction   Lag phase  
🗑
The time of contraction   Contraction phase  
🗑
The time during relaxation   Relaxation phase  
🗑
When the muscle remains contracted without relaxation   Tetany  
🗑
Energy for muscle   ATP  
🗑
Where is ATP produced?   Mitochondria  
🗑
ATP cannot stockpile. What does it synthesize when it is not used?   Creatine phosphate  
🗑
Aerobic   With oxygen  
🗑
Anaerobic   Without oxygen  
🗑
Results when ATP is used faster than it can be produced   Muscle fatigue  
🗑
The length of the muscle does not change, but tension does   Isometric  
🗑
The amount of tension does not change, but the length of the muscle does   Isotonic  
🗑
Constant tension produced for a long period of time   Muscle tone  
🗑
Contracts and fatigues quickly   Fast twitch fibers  
🗑
Contracts and fatigues slowly   Slow twitch fibers  
🗑
Points of attachment on a muscle   Origin and insertion  
🗑
Muscle that work together to perform functions   Synergists  
🗑
Muscles that work in opposition to each other   Antagonists  
🗑
Prime mover   Muscle that plays a major role  
🗑
Ofcipitofrontalis   Raises the eyebrows  
🗑
Orbicularis oculi   Closes the eyes  
🗑
Orbicularis oris   Puckers the lips  
🗑
Buccinator   Flattens the cheeks  
🗑
Zygomaticus   Smiling muscle  
🗑
Levator labii superioris   Sneering  
🗑
Depressor anguli oris   Frowning  
🗑
Mastication   Chewing  
🗑
4 pairs of mastication muscles   2 pairs of pterygoids, temporalis, masseter  
🗑
Intrinsic tongue muscles   Changes the shape of the tongue  
🗑
Extrinsic tongue muscles   Moves the tongue  
🗑
Neck muscle   Sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
Muscle on the back   Erector spinae  
🗑
External intercostals   Elevates the ribs during inspiration  
🗑
Internal intercostals   Contracts during forced expiration  
🗑
Diaphragm   Accomplishes quiet breathing  
🗑
Trapezius   Rotates the scapula  
🗑
Serratus anterior   Pulls scapula anteriorly  
🗑
Pectoralis major   Flexes and adducts the arm  
🗑
Triceps brachii   Extends the forearm  
🗑
Biceps brachii   Flexes the forearm  
🗑
Gluteus Maximus   Buttocks  
🗑
Gluteus medius   Hip muscle and common injection site  
🗑
Quadriceps femoris   Extends the leg  
🗑
Sartorius   Flexes the thigh  
🗑
Hamstring   Posterior thigh muscles  
🗑
Gastrocnemius and soleus   Forms the calf  
🗑
