What is plasm?
This type of protein is known as the thin filament.
What is actin?
This is the proper term for a muscle cell.
What is a muscle fiber?
This seperates sarcomeres.
What is the z-line?
This type of metabolism occurs in the mitochronria.
What is aerobic repsiration?
lungs
what is pneumato or pulmo?
This protein type generates force.
What is a contractile protein?
Shivering is an example is of this function of muscle.
What is generating heat?
This area holds thick filaments together.
What is the M-line?
These types of metabolism do not require oxygen. (name the 2 pathways)
What are Creatine Phosphate and Anaerobic Glycolysis?
rib, side
what is pleur-?
This protein type keeps actin and myosin in proper alignment.
What are structural proteins?
This is the ability of muscle tissue to stretch (within limits) without being damaged.
What is extensibility?
The area containing mostly myosin.
What is the a-band?
These fibers are dominate during a maraton.
What are slow twitch fibers?
nearest
What is prox?
This protein covers myosin binding sites.
What is tropomyosin?
This is the ability of muscular tissue to return to it's original length after contraction or extension.
What is elasticity?
The area with only Actin.
What is the I-Band?
This skeletal muscle tissue type are characterized by strong & quick contractions and being easily fatigued?
What are fast glycolytic fibers?
backwards
What is retro-?
This protein has a receptor for ATP.
This covers a muscle fiber.
This typically disappears when a muscle is fully contracted.
What is the H-zone?
The three determinants of muscle fiber type.
What are genetics, training, and muscle action?
