Question
Answer
contractility   the ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force  
🗑
excitability   the capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus  
🗑
extensibility   the ability to be stretched  
🗑
elasticity   ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched  
🗑
each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the...   epimysium  
🗑
fascia   another connective tissue located outside the epimysium  
🗑
what are surrounded by loose connective tissue   perimysium  
🗑
the fasciculi are composed of single muscle cells called...   fibers  
🗑
each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the...   endomysium  
🗑
the cytoplasm of each fiber is filled with   myofibrils  
🗑
myobibrils   a threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other  
🗑
myofibrils consist of 2 major kinds of protein fibers called   actin myofilaments and myosin myofilaments  
🗑
actin myofilaments   thin myofilaments.  
🗑
myosin myofilimaents   thick myofilaments.  
🗑
actin and myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units called...   sarcomeres  
🗑
Each sacromere extends to..   One Z line to another Z line  
🗑
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 connects to the muscle forms a...   Neuromuscular junction or synapse near the center of the cell  
🗑
A single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it inner ages are called...   Motor unit  
🗑
The enlarged nerve terminal is the...   Presynaptic terminal  
🗑
The space between he presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell is the...   Synaptic cleft  
🗑
The muscle fiber is the...   Postynaptic terminal  
🗑
Each presynaptic terminal contains...   Synaptic vesicles  
🗑
Each presynaptic terminal contains synaptic vesicles that secrete a neurotransmitter called...   Acetylcholine  
🗑
The acetylcholine released into the synaptic left between the neuron and muscle cell is rapidly broken down by enzymes called...   Acetylcholinesterase  
🗑
The sliding of action myofilaments past myosin myofilaments during contraction is called...   The sliding filament mechanism  
🗑
The H and I bands shorten but the A band..   Do not change in length  
🗑
Muscle twitch   Is a contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus that causes the action potential in one or more muscle fibers  
🗑
A muscle fiber will not respond to stimulus until that stimulus reaches a level called...   Threshold  
🗑
The phenomenon is called the...   All-or-none response  
🗑
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  
🗑
The time during which the muscle relaxes is the...   Relaxation phase  
🗑
Tetany   Where the muscle remains contracted without relaxing  
🗑
The increase in number of motor units being activated is called...   Recruitment  
🗑
ATP is needed for...   Energy for muscle contraction  
🗑
ATP is producer in...   The mitochondria  
🗑
ATP is ...   Short lived and unstable  
🗑
When at rest they can’t stockpile ATP but they can store another high-energy molecule called...   Creating phosphate  
🗑
Anaerobic respiration   Without oxygen  
🗑
Aerobic respiration   With oxygen  
🗑
The — is the amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions to convert lactic acid to glucose and to replenish the depleted stores of creatine phosphate stores in muscle cells   Oxygen debt  
🗑
—   Muscle fatigue  
🗑
What are the 2 types of muscle contractions   Isometric and isotonic  
🗑
The length of the muscle does not change, but the amount of tension increases during the contraction process   Isometric  
🗑
The amount of tension produced by the muscle is constant during contraction, but the length of the muscle changes   Isotonic  
🗑
Muscle tone   Muscle tone refers to the constant tension produced by muscles of the body for long periods of time  
🗑
Fast twitch fibers   Contract quickly and fatigue quickly  
🗑
Slow twitch fibers   Contract more slowly and are more resistant to fatigue  
🗑
The — is the most stationary end of the muscle   Origin  
🗑
The — is the end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement   Insertion  
🗑
The portion of the muscle between the origin and the insertion is the   Belly  
🗑
Some muscles have multiple...   Origins or head  
🗑
Muscles that work together to accomplish specific movements are called...   Antagonists  
🗑
Among a group of synergistic, if one muscle plays the major role in accomplishing the desired movement, it is the...   Prime mover  
🗑
Occipitofontalis   Raises the eyebrows  
🗑
Orbicularis oculi   Closes the eye lids and causes “crows feet” wrinkles in the skin at the lateral corners of the eye.  
🗑
Orbicularis oris   Pucker the lips  
🗑
Buccinator   Flattens the cheeks  
🗑

🗑
Mastication   Chewing  
🗑
What are the 4 pair of mastication muscles   2 pairs of pterygoids, temporalis, and masseter  
🗑

🗑
Sternlcleidomastoid   Lateral neck muscle and prime mover  
🗑
Erector spinae   Group of muscles on each side of the back  
🗑


   

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.
