Question
Answer
contractile protein found in the thin myofilaments of skeletal muscle   actin  
🗑
when stimulated, a muscle fiber will contract fully or not at all   all or none  
🗑
those having opposing actions   antagonist  
🗑
broad fibrous sheets of connective tissue (like fascia)   aponeuroses  
🗑
wasting away of tissue, decrease in size of a part; sometimes referred to as disuse syndrome   atrophy  
🗑
synovial fluid-filled sac located between some tendons and bones, making movement easier   bursa  
🗑
increase in size, structure, or function   hypertrophy  
🗑
"equal measure"; type of muscle contraction in which muscle does not shorten and no movement is produced (wall sit, front leaning rest position)   isometric  
🗑
type of muscle contraction in which the muscle length changes, producing movement of a joint (situps, pushups)   isotonic  
🗑
the muscle mainly responsible for producing a particular movement   prime mover  
🗑
basic functional or contractile unit of skeletal muscle   sarcomere  
🗑
inflammation of the tendon sheath   tenosynovitis  
🗑
three types of muscle tissue   skeletal, cardiac, smooth  
🗑
muscle tissue only found in the heart   cardiac muscle  
🗑
unique dark bands found in cardiac muscle tissue   intercalated disks  
🗑
involuntary tissue, lines hollow organs, single nucleus, no striations   smooth muscle tissue  
🗑
striated, voluntary, multiple nuclei, makes up 40-50% of body weight   skeletal muscle tissue  
🗑
3 parts of skeletal muscle   origin, insertion, body  
🗑
part of skeletal muscle that attaches to the bone and remains relatively stationary   origin  
🗑
part of skeletal muscle that is the point of attachment to the bone that moves when a muscle contracts   insertion (point of insertion)  
🗑
main part of the muscle   body  
🗑
small synovial-lined sacs fluid between some tendons and underlying bones   bursae  
🗑
structure that connects muscle to bone   tendons  
🗑
structure that connects bone to bone   ligaments  
🗑
3 primary functions of skeletal muscle   movement, posture/muscle tone, heat production  
🗑
muscle whose contraction is mainly responsible for producing a given movement   prime mover  
🗑
muscle whose contractions help the prime mover prodcue a given movement   synergist  
🗑
muscle whose actions oppose the action of a prime mover in any given moment   antagonist  
🗑
this produces no movement of body parts, only a few of a muscle's fibers shorten at one time, maintain muscle tone called posture   tonic contraction  
🗑
repeated muscular contraction depletes cellular ______ stores and outstrips the ability of the blood supply to replenish O2 and nutrients   ATP  
🗑
term used to describe the metabolic effort required to burn excess lactic acid that may accumulate during prolonged periods of exercise   oxygen debt  
🗑
specialized nerve that transmits an impluse to a muscle, causing contraction   motor neuron  
🗑
specialized point of contact between a nerve ending and the muscle fiber it innervates   neuromuscular junction  
🗑
the minimal level of stimulation required to cause a muscle fiber to contract   threshold stimulus  
🗑
once stimulated by a threshold stimulus, a muscle fiber will contract completely, this is a response called   all or none  
🗑
true or false: different muscle fibers in a muscle are controlled by different motor units having different threshold-stimulus levels   true  
🗑
contractions are quick, jerky movements and do not play a significant role in normal muscular activity   twitch  
🗑
contractions are sustained and steady muscular contractions caused by a series of stimuli bombarding a muscle in rapid succession   tetanic  
🗑
to produce chewing movements   mastication  
🗑
allows you to pucker the lips   orbicularis oris  
🗑
muscle surrounding the eye   orbicularis oculi  
🗑
allows you to raise your eyebows and frown   frontal muscle  
🗑
elevates the corners of the mouth and lips   zygomaticus  
🗑
elevates the mandible   masseter  
🗑
assists masseter to close jaw   temporal  
🗑
flexes head   sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
elevates shoulder and extends head   trapezius  
🗑
flexes upper arm   pectoralis major  
🗑
extends the upper arm   latissimus dorsi  
🗑
abducts the upper arm   deltoid  
🗑
flexes the forearm   biceps brachii  
🗑
extends the forearm   triceps brachii  
🗑
respiratory muscles   intercostal and diaphragm  
🗑
abdominal muscles   external and internal obliques, transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis  
🗑
quadricepts femoris group consists of   rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius  
🗑
