Answer 5

skeletal and cardiac

Question 6

type of muscle with long cylindrical shaped muscle fibers

Answer 6

skeletal

Question 7

type of muscle with branched, anastomosing fibers

Answer 7

cardiac

Question 8

type of muscle with fusiform fibers

Answer 8

smooth

Question 9

type of muscle with intercalated disks

Answer 9

cardiac

Question 10

gap junctions are present in what type of muscle

Answer 10

smooth

Question 11

muscle with voluntary control

Answer 11

skeletal

Question 12

muscles with involuntary control

Answer 12

cardiac and smooth

Question 13

characteristics of nuclei in skeletal muscle

Answer 13

multinucleated, peripheral

Question 14

characteristics of nuclei in cardiac muscle

Answer 14

mono/dinucleated in center

Question 15

characteristics of nuclei in smooth muscle

Answer 15

single, central

Question 16

which muscles have t tubules

Answer 16

skeletal and cardiac

Question 17

which muscle has a sarcoplasmic reticulum

Answer 17

all
very developed in skeletal muscle
less developed in cardiac
poorly developed in smooth

Question 18

which muscle cells regenerate

Answer 18

skeletal (satellite cells) and smooth (mitosis)

Question 19

how do muscle cells contract

Answer 19

nerve action potential

Question 20

which muscle types spontaneously contract

Answer 20

cardiac (pacemaker) and smooth

Question 21

function of skeletal muscle

Answer 21

move the body

Question 22

function of cardiac muscle

Answer 22

contract heart to propel blood through body

Question 23

function of smooth muscle

Answer 23

compression of organs, ducts, tubes

Question 24

list the order of skeletal muscle organization from smallest to largest

Answer 24

myofilaments, myofibrils, muscle fiber = myocyte = myofiber, fasicle, muscle

Question 25

explain neuronal input to contract skeletal muscle cells

Answer 25

ach is released form mn, binds to receptors on sarcolemma
AS reaches t tubule
SR releases ca
action potential exposure, cross bridge
contraction begins

Question 26

explain neuronal input when skeletal muscle cells are relaxed

Answer 26

ach is removed by ache
SR recaptures CA
AS recovered, no cross bridge interaction
contraction ends

Question 27

T/F. sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways can influence smooth muscle

Answer 27

true.

Question 28

what is the functional unit of a skeletal muscle cell

Answer 28

sarcomere

Question 29

epimysium

Answer 29

CT sheath that goes around the entire muscle

Question 30

perimysium

Answer 30

structure that surrounds individual fasicles

Question 31

endomysium

Answer 31

CT bt each muscle cell

Question 32

T/F. endomysium in cardiac muscle cells is thinner than skeletal muscle cells

Answer 32

false. its thicker

Question 33

components of triad

Answer 33

t tubule, 2 dilated portions of cisternae

Question 34

components of thin filaments of myofibrils

Answer 34

actin, troponin, tropomyosin

Question 35

explain the relationship between actin, toponin, and tropomyosin

Answer 35

troponin will bind calcium after receiving an action potential and there is a conformational change. Tropomysin will move out of the way, freeing active sites so that actin can bind to myosin = muscle contraction
