Anatomy
Layer of tissue that surrounds the entire muscle
What is epimysium?
The muscle that holds the bone in place as an action occurs
What is the fixator?
The molecule used to facilitate oxygen transfer in muscle fibers
What is myoglobin?
The one thing muscles do
What is contract?
The contractile unit of muscle
What is the sarcomere?
The functions of muscles
What are heat production, mobility, opening/closing of passageways, and stability?
The molecule calcium binds to inside the sarcomere
What is troponin?
The type of metabolism used for endurance training.
What is aerobic respiration?
The non-moveable point where muscle attaches to bone.
What is origin?
Layer of tissue that surrounds a group of muscle fibers
What is perimysium?
The primary muscle that extends the forearm
What is the triceps brachii?
The neurotransmitter needed to stimulate muscle cells for contraction
What is Acetylcholine?
A reason for muscle fatigue (actual reason, not "we don't know")
What is the decline of ATP synthesis as glycogen is consumed, the lowering of pH from lactic acid, no more Ach, and CNS fatigues.
The enzyme that stops muscle contraction.
What is acetylcholinesterase?
The three muscles of the hamstrings
What are the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus?
The condition in which viscera protrudes into the thorax through the diaphragm
What is a hiatal hernia?
The structure that contains calcium needed to actually being contraction
What is cisternae?
The waste product of glycolysis
What is pyruvate?
The type of contraction that occurs when more resistance is applied to a muscle than there is tension.
What is eccentric isotonic contraction?
The muscles of the rotator cuff
What are the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis?
The primary adductor of the arm
What is the latissimus dorsi?
The reason why muscles contract after death
What is the lack of ATP available in the body to allow the detachment of myosin heads from the thin, actin filaments?
The molecule that contains energy needed for the initial burst of muscle activity
What is creatine phosphate?
The amount of ATP generated by glycolysis in aerobic respiration
What is two?
