🗑
Each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called   Endomysium  
🗑
Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called   Epimysium  
🗑
Thin myofilaments   Actin myofilaments  
🗑
Thick myofilaments   Myosin myofilaments  
🗑
Actin and Myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units called   Sarcomeres  
🗑
The charge difference across the membrane is called   Resting membrane potential  
🗑
The brief reversal back of the charge is called   Action potential  
🗑
A single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates are called   Motor unit  
🗑
The enlarged nerve terminal is the   Presynaptic Terminal  
🗑
Nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers   Motor Neurons  
🗑

🗑
The enlarged nerve terminal is the   Presynaptic terminal  
🗑
The space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell is the   Synaptic cleft  
🗑
The acetylcholine released into the synaptic cleft between the neuron and muscle cell is rapidly broken down by   Acetylcholinesterase  
🗑
The sliding action myofilaments past myosin myofilaments during contraction is called   Sliding filament mechanism  
🗑
A contraction of an entire muscle   Muscle twitch  
🗑
A muscle finer will not respond to stimulus if stimulus reached a level called   Threshold  
🗑
Phenomenon called   All-or-nothing response  
🗑
The time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron and the beginning of a contraction   Lag phase  
🗑
The time if contraction is the   Contraction  
🗑
The time during which the muscle relaxes   Relaxation phase  
🗑
Where the muscle remains contracted without relaxing   Tetany  
🗑
The increase in number of motor units being active is called   Recruitment  
🗑
The H and a I bands shorten, but the __ ______ do not change in length   A Bands  
🗑
___ is needed for energy for muscle contraction   ATP  
🗑
They can store another high energy molecule called   Creatine phosphate  
🗑
Without oxygen   Anaerobic respiration  
🗑
With oxygen   Aerobic respiration  
🗑
The _______ _________ is the amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions.   Oxygen debt  
🗑
Is used when ATP is used during muscle contraction   Muscle Fatigue  
🗑
The amount of tension increases during the contraction   Isometric  
🗑
The amount of tension produced by the muscle is constant during contraction   Isotonic  
🗑

🗑
The portion of the muscle between the origin and the insertion is the   Belly  
🗑
Muscles that work together to accomplish specific movements are   Synergists  
🗑
One muscle plays the major role in accomplishing the desired movement, it is the   Prime mover
