within muscle is innermost connective tissue layerthat surrounds each muscle cell fiber   endomysium  
🗑
around muscle: surrounds bundles of muscle fibers called fascicles. dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds whole skeleton   perimysium  
🗑
upon muscle: a layer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds whole skeletal muscle   epimysium  
🗑
___ stimulare muscle fibers to contract   moror neurons  
🗑
highly ordered repeating units of myofilaments   sarcomeres  
🗑
two strands of ___ form a double helix extending the length of the actin myofilament   F actin (fibrous)  
🗑
___: an elongated protein winds along the groove of the F actin double helix   tropomyosin  
🗑
___ is composed of 3 subunits: one that binds to actin, a second that binds to tropomyosin, and a third that binds to calcium ions   troponin  
🗑
the _____ complex regulates the interaction between active sites on _____, _____   tropomyosin/troponin complex, G actin, myosin  
🗑
___: filamentous network of protein. serves as attatchment for actin myofilaments   Z disk  
🗑
from Z disks to ends of thick filaments   I bands  
🗑
length of thick filaments   A bands  
🗑
region in A band where actin and myosin don't overlap   H zone  
🗑
middle of H zone, delicate filaments holding myosin in place   M line  
🗑
in muscle fibers, __ and __ bands of parallel myofibrils are aligned   A and I  
🗑
elastic chains of amino acids; make muscles extensible and elastic   tetin filaments  
🗑
actin myofilaments sliding over myosin to shorten sarcomeres   sliding filament model  
🗑
___ system controls contraction through ____ ____   nervous, action potentials  
🗑
ligands are molecules that bind to receptors: ex: neurotransmitters   ligand-gated  
🗑
open and close in response to small voltage changes across plasma membrane   voltage-gated  
🗑
inside of plasma membrane becomes less negative. if change reaches threshold ___ occurs   depolarization  
🗑
return of resting membrane potential.   repolarization

🗑
origin tectal region of midbraine   tectospinal  
🗑
originin vestibular nuclei and cerebellum   vestibulospinal  
🗑
origin in red nucleus of pons   rubrospinal  
🗑
originin reticular formation of brain stem   reticulospinal  
🗑

🗑
one nerve cell supplies on average ___ muscle cells that all contract in unison   150  
🗑
total strength of contraction depends on how ___ motor units are activated and how ___ the motor units are   how many,large  
🗑

🗑
inhibit Acherase, spastic paralysis of skeletal muscle   organophosphate  
🗑
mechanism where an action potential causes muscle fiber contraction   excitation-contraction coupling  
🗑
excitation-contraction coupling involves:   sarcolemma, transverse tubules, terminal cisternae, sarcoplasmic reticulum, triad, Ca2+, troponin  
🗑
