Question
Answer
Myology   show
🗑
show An organ specialized for contraction, composed of striated muscle fibers(cells), supported by connective tissue, attached to a bone by a tendon or an aponeurosis, and stimulated by somatic motor neuron.  
🗑
Cardiac Muscle Tissue   show
🗑
show The heart beats because it has a pacemaker that initiates each contraction. A built in rhythm.Several hormones and neurotransmitters can adjust heart rate by speeding or slowing the pacemaker.  
🗑
show Located in the walls of hollow internal structures, such as blood vessels, airways, and most organs in the abdominopelvic cavity. Also found in the skin, attached to hair follicles.  
🗑
Producing Body Movements   show
🗑
show Skeletal muscle contractions stabilize joints and help maintain body positions such as standing or sitting. Postural muscles contract continuously when you are awake: for example, sustained contractions of your neck muscles hold your head upright.  
🗑
Storing and Moving Substances Within The Body   show
🗑
show As muscular tissue contracts,it produces heat.  
🗑
show A property of both muscle and nerve cells,the ability to respond to certain stimuli by producing electrical signals called action potentials.  
🗑
show The ability of muscular tissue to contract forcefully when stimulated by an action potential.  
🗑
show The ability of muscular tissue to stretch without being damaged.  
🗑
show The ability of muscular tissue to return to its original length and shape after contraction or extension.  
🗑
Muscle Fibers   show
🗑
show Hypodermis- Separates muscle from skin,is composed of areolar connective tissue and adipose tissue.  
🗑
Epimysium   show
🗑
show Surrounds groups of 10-100 or more muscle fibers,seperating them into bundles called fascicles.  
🗑
show The Seperation of muscle fibers, large enough to be seen with the naked eye.  
🗑
Endomysium   show
🗑
Tendon   show
🗑
show When the connective tissue elements extend as a broad, flat layer (tendon)  
🗑
show Certain Tendons,especialy those of the wrist and ankle are enclosed by tubes of fibrous connective tissue.  
🗑
Hypertrophy   show
🗑
Hyperplasia   show
🗑
show The replacement of muscle fibers by fibrous scar tissue.  
🗑
show The plasma membrane of a muscle cell.  
🗑
Transverse(T)Tubules   show
🗑
show The cytoplasm of a muscle fiber.Includes a substantial amount of glycogen.  
🗑
show Red-colored protein inside the sarcoplasm.This protein found only in muscle,binds oxygen molecules that diffuse into muscle fibers from interstitial fluid.  
🗑
show Contractile organelles of skeletal muscle.(little threads)  
🗑
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum   show
🗑
Terminal Cisterns   show
🗑
Triad   show
🗑
Filaments   show
🗑
show Is a wasting away of muscles.Individual muscle fibers decrease in size because of progressive loss of myofribils.  
🗑
show Is an increase in the diameter of muscle fibers due to increased production of myofibrils, mitochondria, sarcoplasmic reticulum,and other organelles.  
🗑
show Narrow,plate-shaped regions of dense protein material, seperate one sarcomere from the next.  
🗑
A Band   show
🗑
show A lighter less dense area that contains the rest of the thin filaments but no thick filaments.  
🗑
show Narrow in the center of each A band contains thick but no thin filaments.  
🗑
M Line   show
🗑
Myosin   show
🗑
show Main component in Z discs.Individual molecules join to form an actin filament that is twisted into a helix.  
🗑
Tropomyosin   show
🗑
show A regulatory protein that is a component of thin filament.When calcium ions bind to it,it undergoes a change in shape; this conformational change moves tropomyosin away from myosin binding sites on actin molecules an dmuscle contraction ..  
🗑
Contraction cycle   show
🗑
show The myosin head includes an ATP binding site and an ATPase,an enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP into ADP and a phospate group  
🗑
Crossbridges   show
🗑
Excitation-Contraction coupling   show
🗑
Calsquestrin   show
🗑
Length-Tension Relationship   show
🗑
show The neurons that stimulate skeletal muscle fibers to contract.  
🗑
show The synapse between a somatic motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber.  
🗑
Synapse   show
🗑
show At most synapses a small gap,seperates the two cells.  
🗑
Neurotransmitter   show
🗑
show Suspended in the cytosol within each synaptic end bulb are hundreds of membrane-enclosed sacs.  
🗑
Acetylcholine(ACh)   show
🗑
show This enzyme is attached to collagen fibers in the extracellular matrix of synaptic cleft.  
🗑
show An energy-rich molecule that is found only in muscle fibers.  
🗑
Creatine   show
🗑
Anaerobic Cellular Respiration   show
🗑
show A series of oxygen-requiring reactions that produce ATP in mitochondria.  
🗑
show The inability of a muscle to maintain force of contraction after prolonged activity.  
🗑
Oxygen Debt   show
🗑
show A better term than oxygen debt for the elevated use of oxygen after exercise.  
🗑
Motor Unit   show
🗑
Twitch Contraction   show
🗑
Myogram   show
🗑
Latent Period   show
🗑
Contraction Period   show
🗑
Relaxation Period   show
🗑
show The period of lost excitability, is a characteristic of all muscle and nerve cells.  
🗑
show Phenomenon in which stimuli arriving at different times cause larger contractions.  
🗑
show When a skeletal muscle fiber is stimulated at a rate of 20-30 times per second,it can only partially relax between stimuli.The result is a sustained but wavering contrations.  
🗑
show When a skeletal muscle fiber is stimulated at a higher rate of 80-100 times per second,it does not relax at all.A sustained contraction in which individual twitches cannot be detected.  
🗑
show The Process in which the number of active motor units increases.  
🗑
Muscle Tone   show
🗑
show A stated of limpness in which muscle tone is lost.  
🗑
Isotonic contraction   show
🗑
show If the tension generated is great enough to overcome the resistance of the object to be move the muscle shortens and pulls on another structure such as a tendon to produce movement and to reduce the angle at a joint.  
🗑
show When the length of a muscle increases during a contraction.  
🗑
show The tension generated is not enough to exceed the resistance of the object to be moved and the muscle does not change its length.

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.
