Question
Answer
Actin   Molecules are strung together resembling twisted double strands of beads and containing binding sites for myosin  
🗑
Myosin   Thick myofilament located in the center of saromere  
🗑
Sarcolemma   Is the cell membrane surrounding muscle fibers called motor end plates  
🗑
What is a synergist?   Are muscles that assist prime movers by performing the same movement at the same time  
🗑
Muscle tone   Is the continuous and partial contraction of skeletal muscles  
🗑
Fast twitch muscles   Contract more quickly and for shorter periods. These muscles possess a type of myosin that moves faster  
🗑
What is the schema used to describe a muscle contraction   Sliding filament  
🗑
Sarcomeres   Basic units of muscle contractions. Myofibrils contains repeating compartments along their entire length  
🗑
Retinacula   Are bands of connective tissue’s that act like bracelets to stabilize tendons and keep them in place. They also function as pulleys for tendons  
🗑
Define insertion   Are the tendinitis attachments on more movable bone during muscle contraction  
🗑
Define origin   Are the tendinous attachments on the less movable bone or bone more stable during muscle contraction  
🗑
What ion does the sarcoplasmic reticulum store?   Calcium  
🗑
Muscle fibers become ____________ when they receive and respond to a stimulus   Excited  
🗑
How many joints does a biarticular muscle cross have?   Cross two joints  
🗑
Difference between -isometric and -isotonic contractions?   -isotonic contractions- muscle length changes -isometric contractions- muscle length remains the same, movement does not occur  
🗑
Explain the class 1 levers....   The fulcrum or joint is positioned between the load and the pull or muscle  
🗑
Tendon   Cord like structure that anchors muscles to bone  
🗑
Slow twitch muscles   Contract more slowly for longer periods and they take longer to fatigue. Type one or read muscles are also classified as a slow twitch muscles  
🗑
What is functional reversibility?   Occurs when muscles reverse the relationship between attachment sites and muscle origins move toward their insertions  
🗑
Epimysium   A strength of fibrous elastic tissue surrounding a muscle  
🗑
Thermogenesis   The production of heat especially in a human or animal body  
🗑
Aponeurosis   Broad flat tendon that attaches muscle to bone muscle to other muscle or muscle to skin  
🗑
Difference between -eccentric -concentric   -eccentric- contractions cause muscles to elongate in response to a greater opposing force. -concentric- contraction causes muscle to shorten there by Generating force  
🗑
List three functions of the muscular system...   Movement, posture, heat production. Mobility, stability, posture.  
🗑
Oxygen debt   Amount of extra oxygen needed by muscle tissue to oxidize lactic acid following exercise  
🗑
Fixator   Muscles that act like specialized synergist to stabilize joints or help maintain posture so prime movers can exert their action, fixator’s are also called stabilizers  
🗑
Antagonist   Muscles that relax and lengthen while prime movers and their synergist contract to produce movement  
🗑
Aerobic glycolysis   Refers to a condition in which glucose is converted to lactate in the presence of oxygen  
🗑
Myoglobin   Red respiratory pigment in muscle cells similar to hemoglobin in red blood cells  
🗑
Prime mover   Muscles causing specific or desired movement. movements produced by prime movers. Describe muscles action  
🗑
Synergist   Muscles that facilitate movement caused by prime movers by performing same movement at same time  
🗑
Recruitment   Process of motor unit activation based on need  
🗑
What are the three parts of a neuromuscular junction?   -synaptic gap -acetylcholine -motor end plate SAM  
🗑
Motor end plate   Folded sections of sarcolemma or covering  
🗑
Type 1 muscle fibers   Muscle fibers that contain large amounts of myoglobin and mitochondna Also called red muscle “SLOW”  
🗑
Type II muscle fibers   Have fewer myoglobin, mitochondria, and blood capillaries compared to type 1 Also called white muscle “Fast”  
🗑
What is the main source of energy for muscle contractions   Adenosine triphosphate  
🗑
What is the main neurotransmitter used in a muscle contraction   Acethylcholie (ACH)  
🗑
Pennate   Muscles have muscle fibers emerging diagonally from one or more Central tendons. “ feather like appearance”  
🗑
Convergent   Muscles have fibers joining at one end with fibers spreading out like a fan at other end  
🗑
Fusiform   Tapering at both ends Spindle-shaped  
🗑
Power stroke    
🗑
