Chap 6 muscles

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
contractility   ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force  
🗑
excitability   skeletal muscle respond to a stimulus  
🗑
extensibility   ability to be stretched  
🗑
elasticity   ability to recoil to their original resting length  
🗑
skeletal muscle is surrounded by what connective tissue sheath   epimysium  
🗑
another connective tissue located outside of the epimysium (surrounds separate muscles)   fascia  
🗑
the muscle bundles are covered by   perimysium  
🗑
fasciculi are composed of a single muscle cells called?   fibers  
🗑
each muscle fiber contains several   nuclei  
🗑
each fiber is surrounded by   endomysium  
🗑
the cytoplasm of each fiber is filled with   myofibrils  
🗑
myofibrils consist of 2 major kinds of protein fibers   actin, myosin  
🗑
actin and myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units called   sarcomeres  
🗑
sarcomeres   is the basic structural and functional unit  
🗑
each sarcomere extends from   z line to z line  
🗑
the arrangement of actin and myosin   give a banded look  
🗑
beside the z lines there is an area called   I band  
🗑
the a band extends the length of the   myosin (darker area)  
🗑
the center area is called the   h zone  
🗑
the myosin myofilaments are anchored in the center of the sarcomere called   m line  
🗑
the outside of most cell membranes are + and the inside -, whats the difference called   resting membrane potential  
🗑
muscle cell is stimulated the membrane characteristics change briefly, the brief reversal back is called   action potential  
🗑
motor neurons   nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers  
🗑
axons enter the muscles and branch , the muscles branches form   neuromuscular junction or synapse  
🗑
a single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates are called a -   motor unit  
🗑
a neuromuscular junction is formed by an enlarged nerve terminal resting in a indentation of the muscle cell membrane (t or f)   true .  
🗑
the enlarged nerve terminal is the   presynaptic terminal  
🗑
the space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell is the---- and the muscle fiber is   synaptic cleft,-----, postsynaptic terminal  
🗑
each presynaptic terminal contains   synaptic vesicles  
🗑
synaptic vesicles secrete a neurotransmitter called   acetylcholine  
🗑
acetylcholine   difusses across the synaptic cleft  
🗑
action reaches the nerve terminal   releases acetylochine  
🗑
breaks down acetylochine   acetylochinesterase  
🗑
muscle contractions   occur as the actin and myosin slide past one another causing shortening  
🗑
when sacromeres shorten so do the..   muscles  
🗑
the sliding of actin myofilaments past myosin during contraction is called   sliding filament mechanism  
🗑
muscle twitch   a contration of the entire muscle in response to a stimulus  
🗑
a muscle fiber will no respond to a stimulus until it reaches   a threshold  
🗑
the complete contraction is called   all or none response  
🗑
the time between the stimulus and the contraction is   the lag phase  
🗑
the time of contraction is   contraction phase  
🗑
the time the muscle relaxes is   relaxation phase  
🗑
successive stimuli are given to cause successive contractions for   the muscle to have no time to relax  
🗑
tetany   the muscle remains contracted  
🗑
the increase in number of motor units being activates is called   recruitment  
🗑
atp means   adenosine triphosphate  
🗑
atp is needed for....   muscle contractions  
🗑
atp is produced in   mitochondtria  
🗑
atp is   short lived and unstable  
🗑
atp transforms into   adp  
🗑
adp stands for   adenosine diphosphate  
🗑
it is necessary for muscles to constantly produce   atp  
🗑
they stock pile atp but they can produce   creatine phosphate  
🗑
during periods of inactivity the atp energy is used to   synthesize creatine phosphate  
🗑
during times of activity the energy stored in creatine can be used to make   atp  
🗑
anaerobic respiration   without oxygen  
🗑
after exercise ends the respiration rate stays high (T/F)   true  
🗑
the high rate of respiration is to renew the   oxygen debt  
🗑
the oxygen debt is   the amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions  
🗑
muscle fatigue   results when atp is used during contraction faster then it is produced  
🗑
how many types of muscle contractions   isometric and isotonic  
🗑
isometric is   the length of the muscle doesn't change, but the amount of tension increases  
🗑
isotonic is   the amount of tension is constant but the length of muscle changes  
🗑
muscle tone   muscle tone refers to constant tension produced by muscles of the body  
🗑
how many different twitch fibers are there   2  
🗑
the 2 different twitch fibers   fast and slow  
🗑
fast twitch fibers   contract quickly and fatigue quickly  
🗑
slow twitch fibers   contract more slowly and fatigue slower  
🗑
fast twitch fibers is adapted for   anaerobic metabolism  
🗑
slow twitch fibers is adapted for   aerobic metabolism  
🗑
the points of attachments of each muscle is   its origin and insertion  
🗑
the origin is   the most stationary end of the muscle  
🗑
the insertion is   the end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement  
🗑
the portion of the muscle between the origin and the insertion   the belly  
🗑
some muscles have multiple orgins or head(T/F)   true  
🗑
muscles that work together to accomplish a specific movement   are synergists  
🗑
muscle that work in opposite are   anatgonists  
🗑
among a group of synergists if a muscle has a major role it is called a   prime mover  
🗑
muscle are names are   descriptive  
🗑
muscles are named to their   location, size, shape, origin, fuction, etc.  
🗑


   

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.
