Question
Answer
muscle cells   muscle fibers  
🗑
the ability of skeleton muscle to shorten with force   contractility  
🗑
raises the eyebrows   occipitofronatals  
🗑
moves the tongue   extrinsic tongue muscles  
🗑
neck muscles   sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
thin myofilaments   actin myofilaments  
🗑
a connective tissue located outside the epimysium   fascia  
🗑
the ability to be stretched   extensibility  
🗑
the capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus   excitability  
🗑
ability to recoil to original resting length after being stretched   elasticity  
🗑
skeletal muscles are surrounded by a connective tissue called   epimysium  
🗑
single muscle cells are called   fibers  
🗑
each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue   endomysium  
🗑
a threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other   myofibrils-  
🗑
think myofilaments   myosin myofilaments  
🗑
actin and myosin myofilaments from highly ordered units   sarcomeres  
🗑
charge difference across the membrane   resting membrane potential  
🗑
the brief reversal back of the charge   action potential  
🗑
nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers   motor neurons  
🗑
connection to the muscle forms a, blank, near the center of the cell   neuromusclular junction or synapse  
🗑
one single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates   motor units  
🗑
many motor units from how many muscles   single muscle  
🗑
is formed by an enlarged nerve terminal   neuromuscular  
🗑
the enlarged nerve terminal is called   presynaptic terminal  
🗑
the spaces between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell is the   synaptic cleft  
🗑
and the muscle fibers are called   postsynaptic terminal  
🗑
each presynaptic terminal contains   synaptic vesicles  
🗑
the synaptic vesicles that secrete a   neurotransmitter  
🗑
the synaptic vesicles that secrete a neurotransmitter called   acetylcholine  
🗑
when an action potential reaches the nerve terminal it causes the synaptic vesicles to releases   acetylcholine  
🗑
when an action potential reaches the blank it causes the synaptic vesicles to releases   nerve terminal  
🗑
when an action potential reaches the nerve terminal it causes the blank to releases acetylcholine   synaptic vesicles  
🗑
the blank diffuses across the synaptic cleft   acetylcholine  
🗑
the acetylcholine defuses across the   synaptic cleft  
🗑
the combination of acetylcholine with its receptor causes an   influx  
🗑
the combination of acetylcholine with its receptor causes an influx of what   sodium ions  
🗑
the sodium ions reflects into the   muscles fibers  
🗑
is a contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus   muscle twitch  
🗑
closes the eyelid   orbiculoris oculis  
🗑
puckers the mouth   orbicularis oris  
🗑
flattens the cheek   buccinator  
🗑
smiling muscle   zygomatics  
🗑
sneering muscles   levator labii superiors  
🗑
frowning   depressor anguli oris  
🗑
chewing   mastication  
🗑
4 pair of muscles used for chewing   temporalis, masseter, 2pterygoid  
🗑
changes the shape of the tongue   intrinsic tongue muscle  
🗑
moves the tongue   extrinsic tongue muscle  
🗑
prime mover of the neck   sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
wry neck   torticollis  
🗑
single sheet like a muscle that covers the antero lateral neck   platysma  
🗑
platysma single sheet like a muscle that covers the antero lateral neck   antero lateral neck  
🗑
group of muscle that is on each side of the spine   erctor spinal  
🗑
draw scpaula toward veit column   rhomboids  
🗑
flexs, extends and abducts the arm   deltiod  
🗑
contract durning fored expiration   internal intercostal  
🗑
"abs"   rectus abdominis  
🗑
muscles that work together are called   synergists  
🗑
what does oblique mean   at a 45 degree angle  
🗑
2 types of contraction   isotonic and isomatric  
🗑


   

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.
