Question | Answer |
The ability of a skeletal muscle to shorten with force. | Contractility |
Excitability | The capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus. |
extensibilty | the ability to be stretched. |
elasticity | the ability to recoil to their original resting lenght after they have been stretched. |
Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called what? | epimysium |
Another connective located outside the epimysium that surrounds the muscle. | Fascia |
A muscle is composed of numerous bundles called muscle fasciculi which are surrounded by loose connective tissue. | perimysium |
The fasciculi are composed of single muscle cells called what? | fibers |
Each _______ ________ is a single cylindrical cell containing several nuclei. | muscle fiber |
each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called what? | endomysium |
the cytoplasm of each fiber is filled with myofibrils. true or false | true |
a threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other. | myofibrils. |
Actin and myosin | the to major protien fibers. (hint myofilaments) |
Actin and Myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units called ___________. | Sacromeres |
the basic strutural and functional unity of the muscle. | sacromere. |
The outside of most cells is positivly charge compared to the inside of the cell membrame, whcih is negatively charged. the charge difference across the membrame is called __________. | resting membrane potential. |
When a muscle is stimualted the membrane charaterstics changen briefly. The reversal back of the charge is called _________ ___________. | action potential. |
Nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers. | Motor Neurons |
______ enter the msucles and branch. | Axons |
Each branch that connects to the muscle forms a neuromuscular junction or_________ near the center of the cell. | synapse |
A single motor nueron and all the skeletal msucle fibers it innervates are called _____________. | motor unit |
A neuromuscular junction is ormed by and enlarged nerve terminal resting in a indentation of the ______ _______. | presynaptic terminal |
the space between the presynaptic termanal and the muscle cell | synaptic cleft |
the muscle fiber for the synaptic cleft is | postsynaptic terminal |
Each presynaptic termianl contains __________. | synaptic vesicles |
frontalis | moves the eyebrow |
closes the eyelid(crows) | orbicularis oculi |
orbicularis oris | pcukers lips |
zygomaticus | smiling |
depressor anguli orbis | frown |
levator labii superious | sneering |
mastication | chewing |
muscle twitch | is a contraction of an entire muscle in response stimulus that causes the action potential in one or more muscle fibers. |
the muscle fibers will not respond to stimulus until that stimulus reaches a level called _________. | threshold |
the threshold phonomenon is called | all-or-none response. |
the time between application pf a stimulus to a motor neuron and the beggining of a contraction | lag phase |
the time of a contration is _______. | contraction phase. |
when the muscle remaings contracting without relaxing. | tetany |
the time period when the muscle relaxes | relaxation phase |
the increase in number of motor units being activated | recuitment |
ATP | is needed for energy for muscle contraction. |
ATP | is produced in the mitochondria |
ATP | is short lived and instable |
ADP | plus phosphate |
without oxygen | anaerobic respiration |
aerboic respiration | with oxygen(more efficent) |
oxygen debt | the amout of oxygen needed in chemical reactions to convert lactic to glucose and to replenish the depleted stores of creatine phosphate stores in muscle cells. |
muscle fatigue | when ATP is used during the muscle contraction faster than it can be produced. |
what muscles are invovled during mastication. | masseter and temporalis |
fast twitch | fatique fast |
slow twitch | more resistant to fatigue |
isometric | the length of the muscle doesnt change, but the amount of tension increases. |
isotonic | the amount of tension produced by the muscle is consistant |
muscle tone | keeps head up and back straight |
origin | the most stationary end of the muscle. |
insertion | is the end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement. |
belly | portion of the muscle between the origin. |
synergists | muscles that work together to accomplish specific movements. |
anatagonists | muscles that work in opposition to one another called __________. |
a single cell containing nuclei | muscle fiber |
connective tissue outside the epimysium | fasciculi |
the sarcomere | the basic structuraland functional inoty of the muscle. |
fascia | connective tissue located outside the epimysium. |
T or F muscles help the produce heat essential for maintence of normal body tempurature. | true |
