25
Q

T tubules connect the sarcolemma to the terminal
cisternae to form a

A

muscle triad

26
Q

The cytoplasm of a muscle fiber is called

A

sarcoplasm

27
Q

bundles of protein filaments are called

A

myofibrils

28
Q

the myofibrils consists of

A

myofilaments, actin and myosin

29
Q

is a nerve cell stimulates muscle cells

A

motor neuron

30
Q

is a synapse where a
the fiber of a nerve connects with a muscle fiber.

A

neuromuscular junction

31
Q

refers to the cell-to-cell junction between a nerve cell and either another nerve cell or an effector cell such as in a muscle or a gland

32
Q

is a group of muscle fibers that a motor neuron stimulates

A

motor unit

33
Q

is the end of neuron cell axon fiber

A

presynaptic terminal

34
Q

is the space between the presynaptic terminal and postsynaptic membrane

A

synaptic celft

35
Q

is the muscle fiber membrane (sarcolemma)

A

postsynaptic membrane

36
Q

is a vesicle in the synaptic terminal that stores and releases neurotransmitter chemical

A

synaptic vesicle

37
Q

are chemicals that stimulate or inhibit postsynaptic cells

A

neurotransmitter

38
Q

is the neurotransmitter that stimulates skeletal muscles

A

acetylcholine

39
Q

are very energy demanding cells wether at rest or during any form of exercise

A

muscle fibers

40
Q

is derived from four processes in skeletal muscle

41
Q

production of ATP during most exercise and normal conditions

42
Q

production of ATP during intensive short-term work

43
Q

called creatine phosphate to ATP

A

conversion of molecules

44
Q

is a temporary state of reduced work capacity

45
Q

4 types of contractions

A

isometric
isotonic
concentric
eccentric

46
Q

contraction has an increase in
muscle tension, but no change in length.

47
Q

contraction has a change in
muscle length with no change in tension.

48
Q

contractions are isotonic
contractions in which muscle tension increases
as the muscle shortens.

A

concentric

49
Q

contractions are isotonic contractions
in which tension is maintained in a muscle, but
the opposing resistance causes the muscle to
lengthen.

50
Q

is the constant tension produced by
body muscles over long periods of time.

A

muscle tone

51
Q

Each whole muscles is subdivided into numerous visible bundles called

A

MUSCLE FASCICLES

52
Q

cell membrane of the muscle fiber

A

SARCOLEMMA

53
Q

separate one sarcoomere from the nest

54
Q

is a network of protien fibers that forms a stationary anchor from actin myofilaments to attach

55
Q

Light straining bands

56
Q

central dark staining band

57
Q

contains only myosin myofilaments

58
Q

consists of fine proteins filaments that anchor the myosin myofilaments in place
