I Know it All Muscles
100
The outer connective tissue wrapping on skeletal muscles.
What is epimysium?
100
The "thick" myofilament that is attached to the M-line.
What is myosin?
100
We breath to get oxygen and eat to get food in the process of cell respiration to make this molecule.
What is ATP?
100
A sustained involuntary contraction
What is a muscle cramp?
100
Humans have 3 types of muscle; skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and this.
What is smooth muscle?
200
Make UP muscles and made OF a bundle of muscle fibers.
What are fascicles?
200
Sarcomeres are responsible for this action by muscles.
What is contraction?
200
Myosin heads preform this when sliding down actin and releasing ADP and phosphate.
What is a "power stroke"?
200
Muscles become small and weak due to disuse
What is atrophy?
200
The scientific name for the "striped" look of skeletal muscle.
What is "striated"?
300
This part of a muscle is has a special membrane called the sarcolemma.
What are muscle fibers?
300
Ends of a sarcomere where actin attaches; comes closer together as muscle contract.
What are Z-lines?
300
Nerve signals release this chemical that pulls troponin and tropomyosin out of the way for contraction to occur.
What is Calcium?
300
This type of respiration happens more when in oxygen debt.
What is anaerobic respiration?
300
Type of respiration that makes a lot of ATP.
What is aerobic respiration?
400
Prefixed by words such as "epi", "peri", and "endo"; this word means "muscle" in greek.
What is "mysium"?
400
Two substances that prevent myosin and actin from bonding.
What are Troponin and Tropomyosin?
400
ATP uses its __________ energy to "recock" the myosin head turning itself into __________ and phosphate. (2 answers)
What is chemical and ADP?
400
The condition when cholinesterase does not break down the acetylcholine in the synapse, resulting in a person's muscles contracting and not relaxing
What is tetanus?
400
Muscles cannot partially contract, this is called the...
What is the all-or-nothing (none) response?
500
Starting at fascicle and not counting tissue wrappings, follow the instructions:
- Go up 1 level
- Go down 3 levels
- Go up 2 levels
- Go down 1 level
- Go down 1 level
What muscle structure does it end on?
What are myofibrils?
500
This area on the sarcomere makes the "light" colored section of the striated look on muscle cells.
What is the I band?
500
This process involves myosin heads pulling actin filaments closer to the M-line, shortening the sarcomere. However, neither the actin nor myosin filaments change length. (name of the whole process)
What is the "sliding filament model"?
500
Muscles stay contracted during rigor-mortis because this chemical is no longer being produced to release the muscle contraction.
What is ATP?
500
After a long day of exercise, you notice your muscles feel sore and stiff. This sensation is primarily due to tiny tears in muscle fibers, a process that stimulates repair and growth of the muscle. Name this process.
What is hypotrophy?
