Question | Answer |
Muscle Cells | Muscle Fibers |
The ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force | Contractibilty |
The capacity of skeletal muscle to respond to a stimulus | Excitability |
The ability to be stretched | Extensibility |
ability to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched | Elasticity |
Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the.. | Epimysium |
Another connective tissue located outside the epimysium. It surrounds and seperates muscles | Fascia |
A muscle is composed of numerous visible bundles called muscle fasciculi, which are surrounded by loose connective tissue called the.. | perimysium |
Each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the.. | endomysium |
Thin myofilaments | actin myofilaments |
Thick myofilaments | Myosin Myofilaments |
Actin and mysoin myofilaments for highly ordered units called.. | sarcomeres |
Basic structural and functional unity of a muscle | Sarcomere |
On each side of the Z line is a light area called.. | I band |
The A band extends the length of what? | The myosin |
In the center of each sarcomere is another light area called the what? | H Zone |
The charge difference across the membrane is called the what? | Resting membrane potential |
nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle fibers? | Motor neurons |
A single motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates are called a what? | Motor Unit |
The enlarged nerve terminal is the what? | presynaptic terminal |
The space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle cell is the what? | Synaptic Cleft |
Each presynaptic terminal contains what? | synaptic vesicles |
The sliding actin myfilaments past myosin myofilaments during contraction is called the what? | sliding filament mechanism |
a contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus that causes the action potential in one or more muscle fibers is what? | Muscle twitch |
A muscle fiber will not respond to stimulus until that stimulus reaches a level called what? | threshold |
the time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron and the beginning of a contraction is the what? | lag phase |
the time of contraction is the what? | contraction phase |
The time during which the muscle relaxes is the what? | relaxation phase |
Where the muscle remains contracted without relaxing | Tetany |
the increase in number of motor units being activated is called what? | recruitment |
When at rest muscle cells cant stockpile ATP but they can store another high-energy molecule called what? | Creatine Phosphate |
Without oxygen | Anaerobic Respiration |
With oxygen | Aerobic respiration |
the amount of oxygen needed in chemical reactions to convert lactic acid to glucose and to replenish the depleted stores of creatine phosphate stores in muscle cells | oxygen debt |
results when ATP is used during muscle contraction faster than it can be produced in the muscle cells | Muscle Fatigue |
The length of the muscle does not change, but the amount of tension increases during the contraction process | isometric |
the amount of tension produced by the muscle is constant during contraction, but the length of the muscle changes | isotonic |
constant tenstion produced by muscles of the body for long periods of time | muscle tone |
contract quickly and fatigue quickly | fast-twich fibers |
contract more slowly and are more resistant to fatigue | slow-twitch fibers |
group of muscles on each side of back | trunk muscles |
draw scapula toward vertebral column | rhomboids |
flexes, extends, and abducts the arm | deltoid |
"chest muscle" abducts and flexes the arm | pectoralis major |
pulls the scapula inferiorly | pectoralis minor |
quiet breathing | diaphram |
extends forearm | triceps brachii |
flexes and suppinates forearm | biceps brachii |
primary flexor of the forearm | brachialis |
elevate ribs during inspiration | esternal intercostals |
