1.
Concentric Isotonic contraction: Muscle shortens and does work
2.
Creatine phosphate system: a rapidly mobilizable reserve of high energy phosphates
3.
Cross bridge: two small light polypeptide chains
4.
Elasticity of muscle: the ability to recoil and resume the original resting length
5.
Endomysium: Fine sheath of connective tissue composed of teticular fibers surrounding each muscle fiber
6.
Fast glycolytic muscle fibers: Fastest muscle type in humans, contracts with great force, but can only sustain short anaerobic bursts
7.
Filaments that have active sites: Thin filaments
8.
fused tetanus: Smooth sustained muscle contraction
9.
Glycolysis-lactic acid (anaerobic) system: No oxygen required in muscles for short amount of time, breaks down glucose to substitute oxygen
10.
Ion troponin binds to: Calcium
11.
Isometric contraction: Increasing muscle tension (muscle does not shorten)
12.
Motor end plate: Specific part of the sarcolemma that contains ACH receptors
13.
Muscle twitch: Response of a muscle to a single brief threshold stimulus
14.
Perimysium: Fibrous connective tissue that surrounds fascicles
15.
Sliding filament mechanism: Thin filaments slide past thick ones, myosin binds and detaches several times during contraction
16.
Troponin and Tropomyosin: Regulatory subunits bound to actin
17.
Type of proteins that are actin and mysoin in skeletal muscle: Filament forming protiens
18.
Unfused tetanus: Relaxation time between twitches gets shorter while the strength of contraction amplifies
19.
What is anchored in the Z discs: Thin filaments
20.
What travels down T tubules: impulses to the deepest regions of the muscle
