Skeletal muscle
When the motor neurons serving the skeletal muscle are damaged or cut the muscle becomes ________
Flaccid
______ muscle forms the heart wall, is striated, and involuntary
Cardiac
______ muscle located in the walls of hollow internal structures, such as blood vessels, airways, etc. is non-striated and involuntary
Smooth muscle
What are the properties of muscle tissue?
Electrical excitability Conductivity Contractility Extensibility Elasticity
_______ wraps muscle groups separating it from neighboring groups
Fascia
_________ is when the myofibers do not undergo mitosis
Hyperplasia
________ is the synapse between a somatic neruons and a skeletal muscle fiber in which the axon terminal comes into close proximity to a muscle fiber
Neuromuscular junction
_______ is a region where communication occurs between two neruons or between a neuron and a target cell
Synapses
_________ is a region where communication occurs between two neurons or between a neuron and a target cell
Synapses
_________, a small gap separates the two cells, so the cells do not physically touch. The communication between two cells via neurotransmitter.
Synaptic cleft
The axon terminal at the NMJ, the end of the motor neuron which divides into a group of __________
Synaptic end bulbs
_________ is the muscle fiber part of the NMJ opposite the synaptic end bulbs
Motor end plate
