Question
Answer
ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force   contractility  
🗑
the capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus   excitability  
🗑
ability to be stretched   extensibility  
🗑
ability to recoil to original length   elasticity  
🗑
connective tissue sheath surrounding skeletal muscle   epimysium  
🗑
connective tissue located outside the epimysium   fascia  
🗑
loose connective tissue surrounding fascicle   perimysim  
🗑
fascicle composed of singe muscle cells called   fibers  
🗑
each fiber surrounded by connective tissue sheath   endomysium  
🗑
cytoplasm in each fiber is filled with   myofibrils  
🗑
myofibrils consist of 2 major protein fibers   actin, myosin  
🗑
thin myofibrils   actin  
🗑
thick myofibrils   myosin  
🗑
actin and myosin myofibraments form highly ordered units   sarcomeres  
🗑
the basic structure and functional unity of the muscle   sarcomere  
🗑
each sarcomere extends from   one z line to another z line  
🗑
the arrangement of these two give a banded appearance   actin, myosin  
🗑
on each side of the z line there is a light area   I band  
🗑
I band consists of   actin  
🗑
darker central region in each sarcomere   A band  
🗑
A band consists of   myosin  
🗑
center of each sarcomere a light area called   H band  
🗑
H band consists of   myosin  
🗑
dark staining band   M line  
🗑
the charge difference across the membrane   resting membrane potential  
🗑
brief reversal back of the charge   action potential  
🗑
nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers   motor neurons  
🗑
axons enter the muscles and   branch  
🗑
each branch that connects to the muscle forms a   neuromuscular junction  
🗑
neuromuscular junction or   synapse  
🗑
a single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates   motor unit  
🗑
many motor units form a   single muscle  
🗑
the enlarged nerve terminal   presynaptic terminal  
🗑
each presynaptic terminal contains   synaptic vesicles  
🗑
secretes a neurotransmitter   synaptic vesicles  
🗑
neurotransmitter   acetylcholine  
🗑
diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds the postsynaptic terminal   acetylcholine  
🗑
when the sarcomeres shorten it causes the muscle to   shorten  
🗑
sliding of actin myofilaments past myosin myofilaments during contraction   sliding filament mechanism  
🗑
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 a stimulus until that stimulus reaches a level called   threshold  
🗑
threshold where muscle fibers will contract maximally   all-or-none response  
🗑
the time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron and the beginning of a contraction   lag phase  
🗑
time of contraction   contraction phase  
🗑
the time which the muscle relaxes   relaxation phase  
🗑
muscle remains contracted without relaxing   tetany  
🗑
increase in number of motor units being activated   recruitment  
🗑
needed for muscle contraction   ATP  
🗑
produced in mitochondria   ATP  
🗑
short lived and unstable   ATP  
🗑
ATP degenerates to the more stable   ADP  
🗑
raises the eyebrows   occipital frontals  
🗑
closes the eyelids   orbicularis oculi  
🗑
puckers the lips   orbicularis oris  
🗑
flattens cheeks   buccinator  
🗑
smiling muscle   zygomaticus  
🗑
sneering   levator labii superioris  
🗑
frowning   depressor anguli oris  
🗑
chewing   mastication  
🗑
change shape of tongue   intrinsic  
🗑
move tongue   extrensic  
🗑
lateral neck muscle and prime mover   sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
group of muscles on each side of the back   erector spinae  
🗑
most involved in breathing   external and internal intercostals  
🗑
rotates scapula   trapezius  
🗑
pulls scapula anteriorly   serratus anterior  
🗑
the arm is attached to the thorax by   pectoralis major and latissimus dorsal muscles  
🗑
flexes arm   pectoralis major  
🗑
rotated the arm   latissimus dorsi  
🗑
attached the humerus to the scapula   deltoid  
🗑
extends forearm   triceps branchii  
🗑
flexes forearm   biceps branchii  
🗑
flexes and supinates the forearm   branchioradialis  
🗑
flexes the wrist   flexor carpi  
🗑
extends the wrist   extensor carpi  
🗑
flexes the fingers   flexor digitorium  
🗑
extends the fingers   extensor digitorium  
🗑
