Chapter 6 Muscle

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
the ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force   contractility  
🗑
the capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus   excitability  
🗑
the ability to be stretched   extensibility  
🗑
ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched   elasticity  
🗑
each skeletal muscle surrounded by a connective tissue sheath   epimysium  
🗑
another connected tissue located outside the epimysium   fascia  
🗑
a muscle is composed of numerous visible bundles called   muscle fasciculi (fascicle)  
🗑
single muscle cells that composes the fasciculi   fibers  
🗑
connective tissue sheath that surrounds each muscle fiber   endomysium  
🗑
a threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other   myofibrils  
🗑
myofibrils consist of2 major kinds of protein fiers   actin myofilaments and myosin myofilaments  
🗑
thick myofilaments   myosin  
🗑
thin myofilaments   actin  
🗑
the cytoplasm of each fiber is filled with   myofibrils  
🗑
buttocks   gluteus maximus  
🗑
chest muscle   pectoral muscle  
🗑
back muscle   latissimus dorsi  
🗑
anterior thigh muscle   quadriceps femoris  
🗑
posterior thigh muscle   hamstrings  
🗑
muscle responsible for smiling   zygomaticus  
🗑
muscle responsible for sneering   levator labii superioris  
🗑
muscle responsile for frowning   depressor anguli oris  
🗑
closes the eyelid   orbicularis oculi  
🗑
puckers the mouth   orbicularis oris  
🗑
flattens the cheeks   buccinator  
🗑
What does ATP mean   adenosine triphosphate  
🗑
what is ATP needed for   energy for muscle contraction  
🗑
produced in the mitochondria   ATP  
🗑
short-lived and unstable   ATP  
🗑
one muscles plays a major role in a desired movement   prime mover  
🗑
muscles that work opposite of eachother   antagonists  
🗑
muscles that work together to accomplish specific movements   synergists  
🗑
portion or the muscle between the origin and the insertion   belly  
🗑
the end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement   insertion  
🗑
orgin   (head) the most stationary end of the muscle  
🗑
slow- twitch fibers   contract slowly and are more resistant to fatigue  
🗑
fast- twitch fibers   contract quickly and fatigue quickly  
🗑
constant tensions of muscles   muscle tone  
🗑
amount of tension produced is constant but length of the muscle changes   isotonic  
🗑
the length of the muscle doesn't change but the tension increases during the contraction process   isometric.  
🗑
ATP is used during muscle contraction faster than is can be produced   muscle fatigue  
🗑
oxygen debt   the amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions to convert lactic acid to glucose  
🗑
aerobic respiration   with oxygen  
🗑
anaerobic respiration   without oxygen  
🗑
high energy molecule besides ATP   creatine phosphate  
🗑
basic structural and functional unity of the muscle   sarcomere  
🗑
each sarcomere extends from   one Z line to another Z line  
🗑
has a banded appearance   actin and myosin  
🗑
light area next to the Z line   I band  
🗑
The I band consists of   Actin  
🗑
In the center of each sarcomere is another light area called   H zone  
🗑
The H zone only consists of   Myosin  
🗑
myosin myofilaments are anchored in the center of the sarcomere at a dark staining band called   M line  
🗑
The outside of the cell membrane is   positively charged  
🗑
the inside of the cell membrane is   negatively charged  
🗑
change difference across the membrane   resting membrane potential  
🗑
When a muscle cell is stimulated the membrane characteristics   change breifly  
🗑
the brief reversal back of the charge is called   action ptential  
🗑
nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers   motor nuerons  
🗑
Axons enter the   muscles and branch  
🗑
each branch that connects to the muscle forms a   nueromuscular juction or synapse  
🗑
a single motor neuron   motor unit  
🗑
Many motor units form a   single muscle  
🗑
a neuromusclular junction is formed by   an enlarged nerve terminal  
🗑
the enlarged terminal is the   presynaptic terminal  
🗑
the space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell is the   synaptic cleft  
🗑
each presynaptic terminal contains   synaptic vesicles  
🗑
synaptic vesicles secrete a neurotransmitter called   acetylcholine  
🗑
occurs as actin and myosin myofilaments slide past one another causing sarcomeres to shorten   muscle contraction  
🗑
when the sarcomeres shorten is causes the muscles to   shorten  
🗑
a contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus that causes the action potential in one or more muscle fibers   muscle twitch  
🗑
A muscle fiber will not respond to stimulus until that stimulus reaches a level called   threshold  
🗑
the time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron and the beginning of a contraction is called the   lag phase  
🗑
the time of contraction   contraction phase  
🗑
the time during which the muscle relaxes   relaxation phase  
🗑


   

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.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
