100
the type of muscle that makes up the majority of the skeletal system
What is striated muscle?
100
connects muscle to bone
What is tendon?
100
the age in which one begins to loss of muscle fibers
What is 25 years old?
100
the arm is attached to the thorax by this
What is the pectoralis major OR latissmus dorsi
100
an enzyme that breaks down muscle fibers
What is acetylcholinesterase?
200
each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath
What is epimysium?
200
broad, sheetlike tendons
What are aponeuroses?
200
this can help slow down the process of muscle fiber lose
What is weight lifting?
200
a group of four muscles that attaches the humerus to the scapula
What are the rotator cuff muscles?
200
this happens when ATP is used during muscle contraction faster than it can be produced
What is muscle fatigue?
300
a threadlike structure that extends from one end of a muscle fiber to another
What is myofibril?
300
a group of muscles working together to produce a movement
What are synergists?
300
this decreases over time in the muscle
What are motor neurons?
300
a strong band of fibrous connective tissue
What is retinaculum?
300
isotonic contractions in which tension is maintained as the muscle lengthens
What are eccentric contractions?
400
nerve cells along which action potentials travel to skeletal muscles
What are motor neurons?
400
muscles that hold one bone in place relative to the body while usually more distal bone is moved
What are fixators?
400
when the neuromuscular surface decreases, this happens to the action potentials
What is stimulation to the action potentials in muscle cells?
400
these muscles flex the wrist
What is the flexor carpi?
400
cardiac muscle cells are connected to one another by...
What are intercalated disks?
500
an enlarged axon terminal
What is presynaptic terminal?
500
the muscle that raises the eyebrows
What is the occipitofrontalis?
500
remaining neurons do this
What is innervating more muscle fibers?
500
the primary extensor of the elbow
What are the triceps brachii?
500
a periodic spontaneous contraction of smooth muscle
What is autorhythmicity?
