Question | Answer |
How can you tell if a sample of muscle tissue is the complete muscle or part of the muscle? | If there is a wrapping around all if the fascicles, it is the epimysium, meaning it is complete. |
ATP molecules are bond to the myosin heads in a sarcomere and are breaking down. This is the ___________ stroke. | return |
If the Ca2+ concentration in the sarcoplasmic reticulum suddenly increased dramatically, the muscle is ____________________ its contraction. | finishing |
When the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca2+ ions in response to the action potential, the ions move through the membrane of the sarcoplasmic reticulum via ____________________. | diffusion |
when the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca2+ ions in response the the action potential, the ions move through the membrane os the sarcoplasmic reticulum and this is _______________ transport. | passive |
If someone is working out and gets so fatigued that they run out of energy and their muscle fibers can no longer produce ATP, what will happen in his sarcomeres? | Muscle cramp/stiffness |
Two muscle fibers lie side by side and contract and relax differently, so they are a part of ___________________ motor units | different |
A muscle contracts, but only a small percentage of its motor units have been recruited. What kind of stimulus is being applied? | Submaximal stimulus |
The cells in a person's leg muscles all have a large amount of lactic acid in them. There is a ___________ amount of creatine phosphate in those cells. | small |
The cells in a person's leg muscles all have a large amount of lactic acid in them. This person is resting, and is most likely breathing __________________. | heavily |
Major characteristics of muscle tissue | contractility, excitability, extensibility, elasticity |
Types of muscle tissue | skeletal, smooth, cardiac |
Skeletal muscle cells have _____________ nuclei. | many |
Skeletal muscle cells are at the _________ of the cell. | edge |
When a muscle fiber contracts, the distance between the Z discs, the length of the H zone, and the length of the I band | decreases |
When a muscle fiber contracts, the length of the A band, the myosin myofilament, and the actin myofilament ____________________ . | stays the same |
The concentration of calcium ions in the sarcoplasmic reticulum is decreasing, so the muscle fiber is ____________ contracting. | starting |
The myosin heads of a sarcomere have just received a boost of energy, meaning the ___________________ is about the happen. | return stroke |
A myosin head has ADP attached to it but not an individual phosphate, so the __________________ is about to happen next. | power stroke |
All of the cells in the same motor unit will ___________ identically at the same time. | contract |
The function of ___________________ is to inactivate the ACh after it has interacted with the postsynaptic membrane. | acetylcholinesterase |
ATP provides the ________________________ with energy for the active transport of calcium ions into itself, which is critical for muscle relaxation | sarcoplasmic reticulum |
ATP attaches to the myosin heads, making them release the active sites and giving them ____________ for the return stroke. | energy |
A muscle is stiff and can neither contract or relax. The _______________ must be gripping the active sites and not letting go, due to a lack of ATP in the sarcomre. | myosin heads |
When a motor neuron is recruited, it is responding to a stimulus by sending __________________ down its axon. This stimulates contraction of the muscle fiber in its control. | action potentials |
When a muscle cell relaxes, the myosin heads let go of the active sites, making it very easy for the muscle to stretch out, but that does not ___________________ happen. | automatically |
All of the motor units in a muscle have been recruited. If more stimulus is applied, this is called ______________. | supramaximal stimulus |
A muscle is expending energy faster than it can be replaced by aerobic respiration. There is also no creatine phosphate left. the only option for energy left is _____________________________. | anaerobic respiration |
Anaerobic respiration leads to a build up of this. | Lactic acid |
When breathing hard after exercising, this fuels aerobic respiration and provides energy for the muscle fiber to convert lactic acid to _________________. | glucose |
Aerobic respiration after exercise provides energy for the muscle fiber to remake _____________________ for an energy reserve. | creatine phosphate |
Sarcomere | The repeating unit of a myofibril |
Synapse | The interface between a nerve cell and another cell |
Neurotransmitter | A chemical released by a neuron. This chemical travels across the synaptic cleft, allowing the neuron to communicate with another cell. |
Motor unit | One motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates |
All-or-none law of skeletal muscle contraction | An individual muscle fiber contracts with equal force in response to each action potential |
Muscle tone | The state of partial contraction in a muscle, even when the muscle is not being used |
