        Help!  

Question
Answer
muscle cells   muscle fibers  
🗑
muscle responsible for smiling   zygomaticus  
🗑
contractility   the ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force  
🗑
fascia?   located outside the epimysium. it surrounds and separates the muscle.  
🗑
excitability   the capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus.  
🗑
extensibility   the ability to be stretched  
🗑
elasticity   ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched  
🗑
perimysium   loose connective tissue that surrounds the fascicle.  
🗑
endomysium   the fiber surrounded by the connective tissue.  
🗑
myofibrils   a threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other.  
🗑
actin myofilaments   thin myofilaments that resemble 2 minute strands of pearls twisted together.  
🗑
myosin myofilaments   thick myofilaments that resemble bundles of minute golf club.  
🗑
sarcomeres   actin and myosin myofilaments that form highly ordered units.  
🗑
resting membrane potential   the charge difference across the membrane.  
🗑
action potential   the brief reversal back of the charge.  
🗑
motor neurons   nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers.  
🗑
motor unit   a single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers innervates.  
🗑
the space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell is the?   synaptic cleft  
🗑
each presynaptic terminal contains?   synaptic vesicles  
🗑
what happens when the sarcomeres shorten?   it causes the muscle to shorten.  
🗑
muscle twitch   is a contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus that causes the action potential i one or more muscle fibers.  
🗑
when a muscle fiber does not respond to stimulus that stimulus reaches a level called?   threshold  
🗑
all-or-none response   the point where the muscle fiber will contract maximally.  
🗑
lag phase   the time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron and the beginning of a contraction.  
🗑
a high energy molecule that can be quickly used to produce ATP   creatine phosphate  
🗑
cardiac muscle   is under involuntary control  
🗑
buttocks   gluteus maximus  
🗑
the eyebrow muscle is the   orbicularis oculi  
🗑
anterior high muscle that extends the leg is the   quadriceps femoris  
🗑
muscle twitch   is a contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus  
🗑
the time of contraction is the   contraction phase  
🗑
the muscles that relaxes is the   relaxation phase  
🗑
tetany   the condition where a muscle remains contraction without relaxing  
🗑
aerobic resperation   occurs in the presence of oxygen  
🗑
anerobic repiration   occurs in the absence of oxygen  
🗑
two types of muscle contractions   isotonic and isometric  
🗑
the most stationary end of a muscle   head  
🗑
two types of tongue muscles   intrinsic and extrinsic  
🗑


   

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.
