Question
Answer
show overlapping thick and thin filaments  
🗑
actin   show
🗑
show consists of two twisted strands with globular cross-bridges projected outward along the strands  
🗑
show two proteins associated with the surface of the actin filaments  
🗑
show layers of dense connective tissue, surround and separate each muscle  
🗑
show bundles of muscle fibers inside the perimysium  
🗑
perimysium   show
🗑
perimysium   show
🗑
endomysium   show
🗑
show broad sheet of tendon that connects different skeletal muscles  
🗑
show bands of collagen fibers that attach skeletal muscles to bones  
🗑
show epimysium, perimysium, endomysium  
🗑
show nerve fibers  
🗑
multinucleate   show
🗑
sarcolemma   show
🗑
show cytoplasm of a muscle fiber  
🗑
show form pathways through the muscle fiber. Key role in coordination of the muscle fiber  
🗑
show bundles of thick and thin filaments  
🗑
myofilaments   show
🗑
show found in thin filaments  
🗑
show found in thick filaments  
🗑
show responsible for muscle fiber contraction  
🗑
sarcoplasmic reticulum "SR"   show
🗑
terminal cisternae   show
🗑
when does muscle contraction begin   show
🗑
show repeating functional units of myofilaments, smallest functional unit of the muscle fiber  
🗑
show myosin heads of connected thick and thin filaments  
🗑
nueromuscular junction   show
🗑
show nerve cell that controlls a skeletal muscle fiber  
🗑
acetylecholine   show
🗑
show changes in the sarcolemma that trigger the contraction of a muscle fiber  
🗑
synaptic cleft   show
🗑
show the portion of the muscle fiber where the sarcolemma is tightly folded to contain receptors that bind Ach, and where nucei and mitochindria are abundant  
🗑
acetylcholinesterase   show
🗑

🗑
how do neurons control skeletal muscles   show
🗑
latent period   show
🗑
twitch   show
🗑
contraction phase   show
🗑

🗑
show stores excess energy released by the mitochondria, is present to regenerate ATP from ADP and phosphate  
🗑
show caused by exotoxin from Clostidium tetani, the toxin inhibits certain inhibitory neurons in the spinal chord, both antagonistic groups of muscles contract and the body becomes rigid

🗑
show sternocleinomastoid, splenius capitis, semispinalis  
🗑


   

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.
