Fibrous tissue around each fiber

Question 6

Universal characteristics of muscle

Answer 6

Excitability
Conductivity
Contractility
Extensibility
Elasticity

Question 7

Cardiac
Smooth

Question 8

Plasma membrane of muscle cell

Answer 8

Sarcolemma

Question 9

Cytoplasm of muscle cell

Answer 9

Sarcoplasm

Question 10

Myofibrils

Answer 10

Pertinacious cords made of smaller myofilaments

Question 11

Myoglobin

Answer 11

Read oxygen binding pigment; provides oxygen for muscular activity

Question 12

Muscle cells have lots of which cellular organelle

Answer 12

Mitochondria

Question 13

Muscle cells are multi nucleated or only have one nucleus?

Answer 13

Multinucleated 

Question 14

Muscle version of endoplasmic reticulum, and what it helps to do

Answer 14

Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Crucial for contractility and excited ability
Has calcium reservoir

Question 15

And part of the sarcoplasmic reticulum That forms triad with T tubules

Answer 15

Terminal cisterns

Question 16

Transverse T tubules

Answer 16

Electric lines; one muscle fiber to multiple muscle fibers

Question 17

Triad

Answer 17

Terminal cistern
Teaching your
Terminal cistern

Question 18

Myofilaments

Answer 18

 Filaments responsible for contraction; myosin and actin and elastic

Question 19

Thick filaments

Answer 19

Made of myosin; golf club heads interact with Acton to meet contraction

Question 20

Myosin ATPase

Answer 20

Enzyme that utilizes ATP to help with contraction

Question 21

Thin filament

Answer 21

Made up of protein actin
Whole structure of Acton= F actin, subunits = G actin

Question 22

Covering that covers active site so no spontaneous contraction

Answer 22

Tropomyosin

Question 23

Troponin

Answer 23

Where calcium binds and causes tropomyosin to fall off active site on actin

Question 24

Elastic filament : Made of and does what?

Answer 24

Protein titin
Attaches to Z band and thick filament to allow movement inward and outward

Question 25

Myofibrils

Answer 25

Arranged in cylindrical bundles that extend from one end of muscle to the other

Question 26

I band

Answer 27

Light Region w no thick filaments

Question 28

H line

Answer 28

Lighter region in A band

Question 29

M line

Answer 29

Point to which thin filaments are linked together (middle of h band)

Question 30

sarcomere

Answer 30

Segment from one z disc to the next

Question 31

Hierarchy of skeletal muscle

Answer 31

Muscle Fascicle Muscle fiber Myofibril Sarcomere Myofilaments

Question 32

Fascicle

Answer 32

Bundle of muscle fibers within muscle
