Question
Answer
The ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force.   Contractility  
🗑
The ability of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus.   Excitability  
🗑
The ability to be stretched.   Extensibility  
🗑
The ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched.   Elasticity  
🗑
Connective tissue sheath that surrounds each skeletal muscle.   Epimysium  
🗑
Connective tissue located outside the epimysium, surrounds/separates muscles.   Fascia  
🗑
Visible bundles that compose a muscle.   Muscle fasciculi (fascicle)  
🗑
Loose connective tissue that surrounds the fasciculi.   Perimysium  
🗑
Fasciculi are made up 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  
🗑
A threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other   Myofibrils  
🗑
2 major types of protein fibers   Actin myofilaments & myosin myofilaments  
🗑
Actin myofilaments   Thin, resemble two strands of pearls twisted together  
🗑
Myosin myofilaments   Thick, resemble bundles of golf clubs  
🗑
Actin and myosin myofilaments form ordered units which are   Sarcomeres  
🗑
Sarcomeres are joined end to end to form the   Myofibril  
🗑
The basic structural & functional unit of the muscle   Sarcomeres  
🗑
Each sarcomere extends from   One Z line to another Z line  
🗑
Each Z line is an attachment site for   Actin  
🗑
On each side of the Z line is a light area called an   I band  
🗑
I bands consists of   Actin  
🗑
Muscle cells   Muscle fibers  
🗑
Buttocks   Gluteus maximus  
🗑
Chest muscle   Pectoral muscle  
🗑
Anterior thigh muscle   Quadriceps femoris  
🗑
Posterior thigh muscle   Hamstrings  
🗑
Back muscle   Latissimus dorsi  
🗑
Muscle responsible fro smiling   Zygomaticus  
🗑
Muscle responsible for sneering   Levator labii superioris  
🗑

🗑
Closes the eyelid   Orbicularis oculi  
🗑
Puckers the mouth   Orbicularis oris  
🗑
Flattens the cheeks   Buccinator  
🗑
The most stationary part of a muscle   Origin  
🗑
The end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement   Insertion  
🗑
The portion of the muscle between the origin and the insertion   Belly  
🗑
ATP   Needed for energy for muscle contraction  
🗑
ATP is produced in the   Mitochondria  
🗑
ATP is   Short-lived & unstable  
🗑
ATP degenerates to   The more stable ADP, plus phosphate  
🗑
When at rest muscle cells can't stockpile ATP but can store   Creatine phosphate  
🗑
Anaerobic respiration   Without oxygen  
🗑
Aerobic respiration   With oxygen  
🗑
Muscle fatigue results when   ATP is used during the muscle contractions faster than it can be produced  
🗑
2 types of muscle contractions   Isometric and isotonic  
🗑
Insertion   The end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement  
🗑
Origin   The most stationary end of the muscle  
🗑
Synergists   Muscles that work together to accomplish specific movements  
🗑
Antagonists   Muscles that work in opposition to one another  
🗑
Occipitofrontalis   Raises the eyebrows  
🗑
Orbicularis oculi   Closes the eyelids & causes crows feet  
🗑
Orbicularis oris   Puckers the lips  
🗑
Buccinator   Flattens the cheeks  
🗑
