Question
Answer
Striated and voluntary   skeletal muscle  
🗑
found in the walls of organs or viscera   smooth muscle  
🗑
found in the walls of blood vessels   smooth muscle  
🗑
striated and involuntary   cardiac muscle  
🗑
found in the heart   cardiac muscle  
🗑
nonstriated and involuntary   smooth muscle  
🗑
found attached to bones   skeletal muscle  
🗑
the only type of muscle that is nonstriated   smooth muscle  
🗑
the only type of muscle that is voluntary   skeletal muscle  
🗑
must be innervated by a somatic motor nerve   skeletal muscle  
🗑
cordlike structure that attaches muscle to bone   tendon  
🗑
small bundles of muscle fibers   fascicles  
🗑
connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers   endomysium  
🗑
flat sheetlike fascia that attaches muscle to muscle or muscle to bone   aponeurosis  
🗑
connective tissue that surrounds the fascicles or bundles   perimysium  
🗑
connective tissue that surrounds a whole skeletal muscle   epimysium  
🗑
series of contractile units that make up each myofibril; extends from Z line to Z line   sacromere  
🗑
Thin protein filaments that extend toward the center of the sacromere from the Z lines   actin  
🗑
thick protein filaments whose "heads" form cross-bridges when they interact with the thin filaments   myosin  
🗑
Calcium is stored within this structure in the relaxed muscle   sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)  
🗑
an extension of the sarcolemma or cell membrane that penetrates the interior of the muscle; the electrical signal runs along this membrane toward the sarcoplasmic reticulum   t tubule  
🗑
the temporary connection formed when the myosin heads interact with the actin, causing muscle contraction   cross-bridge  
🗑
the troponin-tropomyosin complex and this protein are called the thin filament   actin  
🗑
the muscle responsible for most of the movement in a group of muscles; called the chief muscle   prime mover  
🗑
muscle attachment to the moveable bone   insertion  
🗑
an increase in the size of a muscle because of overuse   hypertrophy  
🗑
muscle attachment to the stationary bone   origin  
🗑
helper muscle; works with other muscles to produce the same movement   synergist  
🗑
abnormal formation of fibrous tissue in muscles; preventing normal mobility   contracture  
🗑
muscle that opposes the action of another muscle   antagonist  
🗑
wasting away or decrease in the size of the muscles   atrophy  
🗑
classified as disuse, denervation and senile   atrophy  
🗑


   

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.
