Question
Answer
Contractility   the ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force  
🗑
Excitability   the capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus.  
🗑
Extensibility   ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched.  
🗑
Elasticity   ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched.  
🗑
Epimysium   Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the epimysium  
🗑
fascia   connective tissue located outside the epimysium. It surrounds and separates muscles.  
🗑
Perimysium   muscle fiber bundles are surrounded by loose connective  
🗑
fibers   Single muscle cells  
🗑
Endomysium   Each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the endomysium  
🗑
Myofibrous   Fills cytoplasm of each fiber with this thread like structure from one end of the fiber to the other  
🗑
resting membrane potential   charge difference across the membrane  
🗑
Sacromeres   Structural and functional unity of muscles  
🗑
Resting membrane potential   The charge difference across the membrane  
🗑
Action potentials   The brief reversal back of the charge  
🗑
Motor neurons   Nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers  
🗑
Neuromuscular junction   Formed by branches on axons in the muscle  
🗑
Motor unit   A single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers in innervates  
🗑
Presynaptic terminal   Enlarged terminal  
🗑
Muscle twitch   Contraction on an entire muscle in response to a stimulus  
🗑
Threshold   Stimulus level that will make a muscle contract  
🗑
Lag phase   Time between application of stimulus to motor neuron and the beginning of a contraction  
🗑
Relaxation phase   The time the muscle relaxes  
🗑
Tetany   When muscles remain contracted without relaxing  
🗑
Recruitment   Increase of motor units being active  
🗑
ATP   Needed for energy for muscle contraction. Produced in mitochondria. Short lived and unstable  
🗑
ADP   ATP is degenerated in to ADP more stable plus phosphate  
🗑
Anaerobic respiration   Without oxygen  
🗑
Aerobic reperation   With oxygen, more efficient  
🗑
Oxygen debt   The amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions to convert lactic acid to glucose  
🗑
Muscle fatigue   When ATP is used during contractions faster then it can be preoduced  
🗑
Isometric   The length of the muscle doesn’t change but the ten soon increases  
🗑
Isotonic   The amount of tension is constant but the length of the muscle changes  
🗑
Muscle tone   Constant tension produced by muscles of the body after long periods of time  
🗑
Fast twitch fibers   Contact quickly and fatigue quickly Ex. White meat  
🗑
Slow twitch fibers   Contact more slowly and are more resistant to fatigue. Ex. Dark meat  
🗑
Origin   Head of the muscle. Most stationary  
🗑
Insertion   End of the muscle undergoing the most movement  
🗑
Belly   Portion of muscle between origin and insertion  
🗑
Synergists   Muscles that work together  
🗑
Antagonist   Muscle that work against each other  
🗑
Prime mover   The muscle that plays the major role in synergistic movements
