        Help!  

Question
Answer
To shorten develop tension; an ability highly developed in muscle cells   Contraction  
🗑
Muscle cells   Muscle fibers  
🗑
Muscle composed of cylindrical multi nucleate cells with obvious striations; the muscle(s) attached to the body's skeleton; also called voluntary muscle   Skeletal Muscle  
🗑
the thin connective tissue surrounding each muscle cell   Endomysium  
🗑
The connective tissue enveloping bundles of muscle fibers   Perimysium  
🗑
the sheath of fibrous connective tissue surrounding muscle   Epimysium  
🗑
A bundle of nerve or muscle fibers bound together by connective tissue   Fascicle  
🗑
muscle consisting of spindle-shaped unstripped (non striated) muscle cells; involuntary muscle   smooth muscles  
🗑
specialized muscle of the heart   cardiac muscle  
🗑
ovalnucle; that can be seen just beneath the plasma membrane   Sarcolemma  
🗑
the smallest contractile unit of muscle; extends from one A disc to the next   Sarceamere  
🗑
One of the principal contractile protiens found in muscle   Myosin  
🗑
A contractile protien   Actin  
🗑
A specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum   Sarcoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
one neuron and all the skeletal muscle cell sit stimuates   Motor unit  
🗑
The ability of skeletal muscle to shorten with force   Contractility  
🗑
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 musce is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath   epimysium  
🗑
Another connective tissue located outside the epimysium. It surrounds and separates muscles   Fascia  
🗑
A muscle is composed of numerous visible bundles called muscle fasciculi, which are surrounded by loose connective tissue   Perimysium  
🗑
The fasciculi are composed of single muscle cells   fibers  
🗑
A single cylindrical cell containing several nuclei   Muscle fibers  
🗑
Each fiber is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath   endomysium  
🗑
The cytoplasm of each fiber is filled with ________- a threadlike structure that extends from one end of the fiber to the other   myofibrils  
🗑
Myofibrils consist of __ major kinds of protein fibers   2  
🗑
Thin myofilaments. They resemble 2 minute strands of pearls twisted together   Actin myofliaments  
🗑
Thick myofilaments. They resemble bundles of minute golf clubs.   myosin myofilaments  
🗑
Actin and myosin myofilaments form highly ordered units _______ which are joined end to end to form the myofibril.   sarcomeres  
🗑
The basic structural and functional unit of the muscle.   Sarcomere  
🗑
Muscle contraction   Occurs as actin and myosin myofilaments slide past one another causing the sarcomeres to shorten. When the sarcomeres shorten it causes the muscle to shorten.  
🗑
The sliding of actin myofilaments past myosin myofilaments during contraction   sliding filament mechanism  
🗑
A contraction of n entire muscle in response to a stimulus that causes the action potential in one or more muscle fibers   Muscle twitch  
🗑
A muscle fiber will not respond to stimulus until that stimulus reaches a level called ______, at which point the muscle fiber will contract maximally. This phenomenon is called the ______________   Threshold; all-or-none response  
🗑
The time between application of a stimulus to a motor neuron and the beginning of a contraction   lag phase  
🗑
The time of contraction   contraction phase  
🗑
The time during which the muscle relaxes   relaxation phase  
🗑
where the muscle remains contracted without relaxing   tetany  
🗑
The increase in number of motor units being activated   recruitment  
🗑
needed for energy for muscle contraction   ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)  
🗑
Produced in the mitochondria   ATP  
🗑
Short-lived and unstable   ATP  
🗑
It degenates to the more stable _______________________ plus phosphate   ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate)  
🗑
It is necessary for muscle cells to constantly produce ATP. When at rest they can't stockpile ATP but they can store another high-energy molecule called ______________________   Creatine phosphate  
🗑
Without oxygen   Anaerobic respiration  
🗑
with oxygen   Aerobic respiration  
🗑
results when ATP is used during muscle contraction faster than it van 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 (equal distance)  
🗑
The amount of tension produce by the muscle is constant during contraction, but the length of the muscle change   Isotionic (equal tension)  
🗑
__________ refers to constant tension produced by muscle of the body for long periods of time. Keeps head up and back straight.   Muscle tone  
🗑
contract quickly and fatigue quickly. Well adapted to preform anaerobic metabolism. Ex. white meat of a chicken's breast.   Fast-twitch fibers  
🗑
contract more slowly and are more resistant to fatigue. They are better suited for aerobic metabolism   Slow-twitch fibers  
🗑
is the most stationary end of the muscle   Origin  
🗑
is the end of the muscle undergoing the greatest movement   Insertion  
🗑
The portion of the muscle between the origin and the insertion is the   Belly  
🗑
some muscles have multiple _________________________   Origins or heads  
🗑
Muscles that work together to accomplish specific movements are   Synergists  
🗑
Muscles that work in opposition to one another are   Antagonists  
🗑
Among a group of synergists, if one muscle plays the major role in accomplishing the desired movement   Prime mover  
🗑
raises the eyebrows   Occipitofrontalis  
🗑
closes the eyelids and causes "crows feet" wrinkles in the skin at the lateral corners of the eye   Orbicularis Oculi  
🗑
Puckers the lips   Orbicularis Oris  
🗑
Flattens the cheeks. Trumpeter's muscle.   Buccinator  
🗑
Kissing muscles   Orbicularis Oris and Buccinator  
🗑
