🗑
The connective tissue sheath surrounding each skeletal muscle   epimysium  
🗑
The connective tissue located outside the epimysium   Fascia  
🗑
Connective tissue surrounding fascicle   Perimysium  
🗑
Fasciculi are composed of a single muscle cell   Fibers  
🗑

🗑
loose connective tissue covering fasciculi   perimysium  
🗑
single muscle cells in fasciculi   fibers  
🗑
each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called   endomysium  
🗑
each muscle fiber is a single cylindrical cell containing several   nuclei  
🗑
cytoplasm of each fiber is filled with   myofibrils  
🗑
a thread like structure the extends from one end of the fiber to another   myofibrils  
🗑
two major kinds of protein fibers   actin myosin  
🗑
thin myofilaments   actin

🗑
each z line is an attachment site for   actin  
🗑

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.
