The characteristic of muscle that allows it to be passively stretched

Extensibility

What are the possible functions of the skeletal muscles

-Posture


-Temperature regulation


-Regulation of movement


-Support of organs


-Both highly coordinated and localized simple movements

A skeletal muscle can be several inches long. The property of muscle tissue that allows an impulse to travel down the entire length of a cell membrane is?

Conductivity

The spring like property that returns muscles to its original length after a contraction ends?

Elasticity

Which is the correct listing of a hierarchy of a skeletal muscles component beginning with the smallest?

-Mayofibrils


-Muscle fibers


-Fascile


-Skeletal muscles

Which is the correct order of connective tissue layers of a skeletal muscle begging with the outermost layers?

-Epimicism


-Paremicism


-Endomicisim

The structure responsible for attaching muscle to bone?

Tendons


The neurons that stimulate muscle contractions are called?

Motor neurons


The membranous network that wraps around the mayofibrilis and holds relatively high concentration of calcium?

Sacropalasm reticulum

Which are the reservoirs that store the calcium require for muscle contraction?

Terminal sesternay

Which protein makes up the thick filaments?

Mayosin

What is the letter associated with the dark bands in a sarcomere

A


Which letter is associated with the line that is a thin protein structure that serves as an attachment site for the thin filament end?

Z line

Which letter is associated with a zone that is a little more lightly shaded because only thick filaments are present?

H

Which letter is associated with a light bands and it contains thin filaments only

i band

A sarcomere is defined as a distance between one BLANK to the next BLANK disc

Z, Z

Mayoglobin is molecule within muscle cells that can bind

Oxygen

One feature that helps provide fast energy to a muscle cell is a presence of granules containing a complex carbohydrate?

Glycogen

A motor unit consists of

A single motor neuron and multiple muscle fibers it controls

The narrow space that separates the motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber in a neuron muscular junction?

Synaptic Cleft

Acetylcholine exerts is effect by?

Binding to receptors at the motor endplate

Which is the neurotransmitter that causes the release of calcium ions from reservoirs within the muscle cells and thereby initiates the steps of contractions?

Acetylcholine

The calcium ions involved in skeletal muscle contractions bind to a BLANK subunit

Troponin

In order for relaxation to occur what needs to happen?

The sarcoplasm calcium levels fall, calcium is removed from troponin and tropmayosin blocks binding cites on actin

Glycolysis is what?

Anaerobic process that occurs in cytosol
