Question
Answer
Muscle cells   Muscle Fibers  
🗑
The ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force   Contractility  
🗑
The capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus   Excitability  
🗑
The ability to be stretched   Extensibility  
🗑
Recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched   Elasticity  
🗑
Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath   Epimysium  
🗑
Another connective tissue located outside the epimysium. (surrounds and seperates muscles.)   Fascia  
🗑
A muscle is composed of numerous visible bundles   Muscle fasciculi  
🗑
Fasciculi is surrounded by loose connective tissue   Perimysium  
🗑
The fasciculi is composed of single muscle fibers   Fibers  
🗑
Each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath   Endomysium  
🗑
Myofibrils consist of 2 major types of protien fibers   Actin myofilaments and myosin myofilaments  
🗑
Thin myofilaments   Actin  
🗑
Thick myofilaments   Myosin  
🗑
Actin and myosin filaments form highly ordered units   Sarcomeres  
🗑
Basic structural and functional unity of the muscle   Sarcomere  
🗑
Four Major Functional Characteristics   Contractility, excitability, extensibility, elasticity.  
🗑
Each sarcomere extends from one Z line to   Another Z line  
🗑
Each Z line is an attachment site for   Actin  
🗑
Each side of the Z line is a light area called _______, it consists of actin   I band  
🗑
In the center of each sarcomere is another light area called the ___________, which consists of myosin   H zone  
🗑
The myosin myofilaments are anchored in the center of the sarcomere at a dark staining band called the __________.   M line  
🗑
The change difference across the membrane.   Resting membrane potential  
🗑
The brief reversal of the charge.   Actin potential  
🗑
Nerve cells that carry actin potentials to skeletal muscle fibers   Motor neurons  
🗑
Each branch that connects to the muscle forms a ________________, or __________ near the center of the cell   Neuromuscular junction; synapse  
🗑


   

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.
