100

This muscle is responsible for raising the lateral corners of the mouth (smiling muscle)

What is the Zygomaticus

100

The tissue surrounding an individual muscle fiber

What is the endomysium 

100

The region that is shown below: 

What is the sarcomere

100

An isotonic contraction where the muscle shortens.

What is a concentric contraction

100

The axial skeleton consists of the skull, hyoid bone ___________ ___________ and the thorax (ribs and sternum)

What is the Vertebral Column

100

These two bones make up the antecubital region of the arm

What are the radius and ulna
200

This is the muscle indicated by the letter G in the diagram above.

What is the Brachioradialis

200

This muscle's action is pronation of the forearm. 

What is the Pronator Teres

200

The tissue surrounding a group of muscle fibers

What is the perimysium 
200

These two myofilaments are the main protein filaments responsible for muscle contraction

What are myosin and actin

200

A neuron and all the muscle cells it stimulates make up this

What is a motor unit

200

The bone indicated by the I in the diagram. 

What is the zygomatic bone

200

This bone connects the appendicular skeleton to the axial skeleton in the diagram below.

What is the clavicle

300

This is the muscle indicated by the letter D. in the image above

What is the rectus abdominis

300

This posterior muscle of the forearm extends and abducts the wrist

What is the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus

300

The epimysium is a layer of connective tissue that surrounds the muscle and forms ___________ which connect the muscles to the bones. 

What are tendons

300

This is the neurotransmitter that is released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft in a neuromuscular junction. 

What is acetylcholine

300

single contractions of muscle fibers caused by single threshold stimulus; rare

What is twitch

300

The part of the sternum indicated by number 2 in the diagram.

What is the manubrium

300

The names given to the three bones that make up the pelvic bone.

What are the illium, ischium and the pubic bones

400

These THREE muscles are indicated by the letters B, C and D in the image above. 

What are the Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis and the Vastus Medialis

400

These two muscles work to elevate the mandible. (chewing)

What are the masseter and the temporalis muscles

400

Muscle fibers are made up of groups of these smaller pieces

What are myofibrils

400

In order for myosin to be able to reach out and attach to actin this molecule must be broken down into ADP + P. This energizes the myosin heads. 

What is ATP

400

The minimal level of stimulation required to cause a muscle fiber to contract.

What is the threshold stimulus

400

Name all of the four sutures of the cranium

What are the lambdoidal suture, the saggital suture, coronal suture and the squamous suture

400

This joint is the area where the bones of the pelvis connect to the bones of the spine.

What is the sacroiliac joint

500

These two muscles are indicated by the letters F and G in the diagram. 

What are the gastrocnemius (F) and the soleus (G)

500

These THREE muscles of the thigh are responsible for adduction, medial rotation and flexion of the thigh. 

What are the Adductor Longus, Magnus and Brevis
500

Groups of muscle fibers surrounded by the perimysium make up these

What is a fascicle

500

These ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and help to move tropomyosin and troponin off of the actin myofilament. 

What is Calcium or Ca2+

500

sustained, steady muscular contractions caused by a series of stimuli bombarding a muscle in rapid succession (not necessarily a maximal contraction)

What is tetanus

500

These bones have foramen in their transverse processes.

What are cervical vertebrae

500

This is the structural name given to the joints of the spine

What is cartilaginous joints

600

These three muscles make up the Erector spinae (1,2 and three in the image above)

What are the iliocostalis, longissimus, and the spinalis. 

600

These three muscles work together to extend at the hip and flex at the knee. 

What are the Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus, and the Semimembranosus. (Hamstrings)

600

Muscle fibers have multiple ___________ and a plasma membrane called a _______________. 

What are nuclei and sarcolemma. 

600

Once the channel proteins on the sarcolemma are changed by the acetylcholine this allows for these two ions to rush in and out of the muscle cell causing depolarization of the motor end plate.  

What are sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+

600

Muscle contractions that do not produce movement.

What are isometric contractions

600

This bone articulates with ALL bones of the cranium

What is the sphenoid bone
