Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
Skeletal muscle   striated, voluntary, mutinucleanated  
🗑
smooth muscle   in walls of hollow visceral organs, uninucleate, involuntary,  
🗑
peristalsis   movement by squeezing  
🗑
cardiac muscle   striated & involuntary, connected by INTERCALATED DISKS  
🗑
sarcolemma   membrane of a mm cell  
🗑
sarcoplasm   cytoplasms of a mm cell  
🗑
Transverse Tubules (T-tubules)   passageways which run perpendicular to the mm fiber and penetrate deep inside the mm, act as a communication passageway to allow nerve action potentials  
🗑
sarcoplasmic reticulum   a membrane that is formed that covers the external surface of the myofibril as it nears the T-tubule expanded chambers form called TERMINAL CISTERNAE  
🗑
TERMINAL CISTERNAE   storage area for calcium ions  
🗑
myofilaments   microscopic pieces pf protein which allow our mm to contract  
🗑
Thin filament   type of myofilament composed of actin, has TROPOMYOSIN (binding sites) only allows attachment if Ca is present  
🗑
Thick filament   bundle of myosin protein molecules twisted around a titian core, elongated head tail and wide head,  
🗑
sarcomeres   repeating bundles of actin & myosin  
🗑
Sliding filament model   steps involved in mm contraction, mm contraction occurs when the thing filament slides and overlaps the thick filament after 2 criteria are met: ATP is present & action potential from the nervous system is sent  
🗑
acetylcholine (ACh)   neurotransmitter used in skeletal mm contraction, broken down by ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE at the end of mm movement  
🗑
motor unit   the certain group of fibers w/in a mm that one motor neuron stimulates  
🗑
mm contraction occurs when: 1-3   1. ACh is released by the motor neuron 2. Ach crosses the synaptic cleft & binds to the receptors on the sarcolemma of the mm cell transmitting the action potential to the cell 3. T-tubles spread the action potential throughout the mm fiber  
🗑
mm contraction occurs when: 4-7   4. Ca2 is released by the sarcoplasmic reticulum & terminal cisternae 5. Ca2 goes to the thin filament and stimulates troponin 6. troponin removes tropomyosin & exposes binding sites 7. thick filament (myosin) energized by ATP binds  
🗑
mm contraction occurs when: 8-10   8. thick pulls thin 9. more ATP binds to the myosin head & it detaches from the binding site 10. if ACh, Ca2 & ATP are still present more myosin heads will bind and pull again  
🗑
twitch   a single-stimulus mm contraction-relaxation sequence in a mm fiber  
🗑
complete tetanus   when repeated stimulus of the mm occurs before the relaxation phase begins -occurs in virtually all mm contractions  
🗑
isotonic contraction   mm tension increased and mm length changes, movement of joints are visible  
🗑
isotonic concentric contraction   mm tension (strength) exceeds the resistance and the mm shortens *biceps curl*  
🗑
isotonic eccentric contraction   the mm tension is less than the resistance and the mm lengthens *lowering of the weight during a biceps curl*  
🗑
isometric contraction   mm length does not change during contraction (pushing against a brick wall)  
🗑
ATP   adenosine triphosphate  
🗑
fast twitch fibers   "white meat" packed w/ myofibrils less mitochondria quick & powerful, less endurance  
🗑
slow twitch fibers   "dark meat" better capillary network, more mitochondria, more endurance  
🗑


   

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.
