Anatomy Test: Muscles Flashcards
Myofibrils are composed of individual:
Myofilaments
Muscles are held in place and covered by:
Fascia
The functional unit of a muscle is the:
Sacromere
Thin filaments within a muscle fiber are called:
Actin
This substance will cross the neuromuscular junction to communicate with individual muscle fibers:
Acetylcholine
The energy source for muscle contraction is:
ATP
The A band in a myofibril is an area of:
Thick filaments
A sarcomere is defined as the section of fiber between:
Z lines
Tendons connect:
Muscles to Bones
The connective tissue that surrounds individual fibers is:
Endomysium
Skeletal muscles are:
Straited and Voluntary
Smooth muscles are:
Involuntary (Digestive)
Cardiac muscles are:
At the Heart
Skeletal muscles are responsible for moving:
Bones
Muscles fivers are made up of individual fibers (not filaments) called:
Myocites
Connective tissue that surrounds the fascicles is:
Perimysium
