        Help!  

Question
Answer
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  
🗑
Connective tissue sheath that covers the skeletal muscle.   Epimysium  
🗑
Another connective tissue located outside the epimysium   Fascia  
🗑
Loose connective tissue that surrounds the bundles of muscle fibers   Perimysium  
🗑
Muscle cells   Fibers  
🗑
Connective tissue sheet that surrounds fibers   Endomysium  
🗑
Threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other   Myofibrils  
🗑
Actin   thin myofilaments  
🗑
Myosin   thick myofilaments  
🗑
Basic structural and functional unit of the muscle   Sarcomeres  
🗑
Charge difference across the membrane   Resting membrane potential  
🗑
Nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers   Motor neurons  
🗑
enlarged nerve terminal   Presynaptic terminal  
🗑
space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell   Synaptic cleft  
🗑
the muscle fiber   Postsynaptic terminal  
🗑
Each presynaptic terminal contains   synaptic vesicles  
🗑
secreted from the synaptic vesicles   acetylcholine  
🗑
breaks down acetylcholine   acetylcholinesterase  
🗑
sliding of actin myofilaments past myosin myofilaments during contraction   sliding filament mechanism  
🗑
a contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus that causes the action potential in one or more muscle fibers.   Muscle twitch  
🗑
point when the muscle fiber will contract maximally   Threshold  
🗑
time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron and the beginning of a contraction   Lag phase  
🗑
Muscle remains contracted without relaxing   Tetany  
🗑
Increase in number of motor units being activated   Recruitment  
🗑
Less stable adenosine phosphate; 3 phosphates   ATP  
🗑
More stable adenosine phosphate; 2 phosphates   ADP  
🗑
High energy molecule   Creatine Phosphate  
🗑
Anaerobic respiration   Without Oxygen  
🗑
Aerobic respiration   With Oxygen  
🗑
Amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions to convert lactic acid to glucose   Oxygen debt  
🗑
When ATP is used during muscle contraction faster than it can be produced in the muscle cells   Muscle fatigue  
🗑
equal distance; length of the muscle does not change, but the amount of tension increases during the contraction process   Isometric  
🗑
equal tension; amount of tension produced by the muscle is constant during contraction, but the length of muscle changes   Isotonic  
🗑
Constant tension produced by muscles of the body for long periods of time   Muscle tone  
🗑

🗑
portion of the muscle between the origin and the insertion   belly  
🗑
end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement   insertion  
🗑

🗑
Muscles that work in opposition to one another   antagonists  
🗑
Among a group of synergists, if one muscle plays the major role in accomplishing the desired movement   prime mover  
🗑
