Question
Answer
show skeletal, smooth, cardiac  
🗑
muscles   show
🗑
show skeletal and smooth muscle cells, shape of the cell has led to the name muscle fibers  
🗑
muscle fibers   show
🗑
myofilaments   show
🗑
sarcoplasm   show
🗑
show = muscle  
🗑
skeletal muscle fibers   show
🗑
show fibers have obvious stripes; skeletal muscle  
🗑
show the only muscle type subject to concious control  
🗑
skeletal muscle tissue   show
🗑
show connective tissue sheath enclosing the muscle fiber  
🗑
show coarse fibrous membrane wrapping sheathed muscle fibers  
🗑
show bundle of fibers  
🗑
show overcoat of connective tissue binding fascicles bundles  
🗑
tendons   show
🗑
show sheetlike fibers that attach muscles indirectly to bones, cartilage or connective tissue coverings  
🗑
show no striations, involuntary, cannot consciously control it; found in hollow visceral organs ie stomach, urinary bladder, etc; visceral, nonstriated, involuntary  
🗑
smooth muscle cell   show
🗑
cardiac muscle   show
🗑
intercalated discs   show
🗑
skeletal muscle   show
🗑
show used to power muscle contraction, releasing heat in the muscle; the only energy source to power muscle activity; renewable  
🗑
show the muscle husk; the plasma membrane  
🗑
show long ribbonlike organelles which nearly fill the cytoplasm  
🗑
show light (I) and dark (A) bands give the muscle cell as a whole its striped appearance  
🗑
sarcomeres   show
🗑
show threadlike, what causes the banding pattern in the sarcomeres; two types, do not shorten during contraction, slide past each other  
🗑
show Z is the darker area, H is a lighter central area, H contains tiny protein rods that hold the thick filaments together  
🗑
thick filaments   show
🗑
myosin   show
🗑
show myosin heads; link the thick and thin filaments together during contraction  
🗑
show composed of contractile protein actin and regulatory proteins; AKA actin filaments, overlap thick filaments  
🗑
actin filaments   show
🗑
show the lighter color zones of the thick and thin filaments  
🗑
show precise arrangement of myofilaments in the myofibrils, producing the banding pattern in the muscle cells  
🗑
sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)   show
🗑
show excitability (responsiveness, irritability), contractility, extensibility, elasticity  
🗑
show one neuron and all skeletal muscle cells  
🗑
show long threadlike extension of the neuron; forming junctions with the sarcolemma of a different muscle cell  
🗑
show the joining of nerve and muscle cells  
🗑
show the gap between nerve endings and muscle cell membranes, filled with interstitial fluid  
🗑
neurotransmitter   show
🗑
acetylcholine (ACh)   show
🗑
action potential   show
🗑
show skeletal muscle cell contracts to its fullest extent, never partially contracts  
🗑
graded responses   show
🗑
show single, brief, jerky contractions (not normal)  
🗑
tetanic contraction (fused)(complete tetanus)   show
🗑
show state of the muscle before tetanic contraction  
🗑
show creation of creatine phosphate (CP), aerobic respiration, anaerobic glycolysis and lactic acid formation  
🗑
creatine phosphate (CP)   show
🗑
aerobic respiration   show
🗑
show the pathways providing aerobic respiration  
🗑
show the initial step of glucose breakdown, does not require oxygen; glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid and captured in ATP bonds  
🗑
lactic acid   show
🗑
show only 5% of ATP for muscle strength, 2 1/2 times faster; the end result of production of glycolysis and lactic acid  
🗑
muscle fatigue   show
🗑
oxygen deficit   show
🗑
tension   show
🗑
show myofilaments are successful in sliding movement, muscle shortens, movement occurs  
🗑
isometric contractions   show
🗑
show the state of continuous partial contraction  
🗑
flaccid   show
🗑
show wasting away  
🗑
show less fatigue, caused when increased blood supply to the muscles, more oxygen is stored and more mitochondria cells are formed  
🗑
show flexion, extension, rotation, abduction, adduction, circumduction  
🗑
show attachment of muscle to the immovable or less movable bone  
🗑
show attachment of muscle to the movable bone  
🗑
show movement that decreases the angle of the joint and brings two bones closer toegther  
🗑
extension   show
🗑
show movement of a bone around its axis  
🗑
abduction   show
🗑
show movement of a limb toward midline  
🗑
circumduction   show
🗑
dorsiflexion   show
🗑
show pointing the foot down so that top surface is farther away from the shin  
🗑
show turning the sole of the foot to the midline  
🗑
show turning the sole of the foot away from midline  
🗑
supination (supine)   show
🗑
show lying on the front, back upward  
🗑
opposition   show
🗑
prime mover   show
🗑
show muscles that oppose a movement  
🗑
show help movement by removing opposing movement; balance the movement  
🗑
show hold something so that movement can be done with no opposition  
🗑
rectus   show
🗑
oblique   show
🗑
maximus   show
🗑
minimus   show
🗑
show long  
🗑
show two origins  
🗑
triceps   show
🗑

🗑
show affects muscles during adulthood; difficulty in swallowing and talking, general muscle weakness and fatigue; shortage of acetylcholine receptors; death due to respiratory failure  
🗑
