22
Q

23
Q

What are muscles named by origin/insertion?

A

24
Q

What are muscles named by action?

A

Abductor Magnus

25
What are muscles named by direction of fibers?
Transverse
26
Skeletal muscle moves bones by?
Pulling
27
The membrane that surrounds the muscle cell is?
Sarcolemma
28
What are the two proteins that fill muscle cells?
Myofilament
29
The term for one protein is?
Myofibril
30
Myofibril are arranged in small units called?
Sacromere
31
What is the thicker protein?
Myosin
32
What is the thinner protein?
Actin
33
Myosin is anchored where?
M line
34
Myosin takes up majority of what region?
A band
35
A band has what myofilaments?
Actin and Myosin
36
What region only contains Myosin?
H zone
37
Where is actin anchored?
Z disc
38
Actin at the Z disc form what?
I band
39
Sliding filament theory is what?
When the myosin pulls on actin and causes the muscle to contract
40
Sliding filament theory occurs where?
Sarcomere
41
The Axon Terminal does not touch what and why?
The muscle because it would kill the muscle
42
The space between the Axon Terminal and Muscle is called?
Synaptic Cleft
43
What are the small sac filled with neurotransmitter within the Axon called?
Acetylcholine
44
Sequence of muscle contraction?
Brain sends impulse down to a motor neuron, once it reaches the end Acetylcholine is released into the Synaptic Cleft, Acetylcholine binds to special protein receptors on the muscle cell which causes an electric impulse to spread all over the cell, sarcomere shorten and muscle contracts
45
Skeletal muscle works alone or in pairs?
In pairs
