Exam 10: Muscular Tissue

A somatic motor neuron is a nerve cell that stimulates a skeletal muscle fiber (cell) to contract.

One sarcomere contains all of the following EXCEPT:

The ability of muscular tissue to contract forcefully when stimulated is:

Match the connective tissue components of skeletal muscle with the tissues. Identify the characteristics of skeletal muscle tissue.

Which type of muscle develops from the mesodermal cells that envelope the developing gastrointestinal tract, viscera, and blood vessels?

Match the connective tissue components of skeletal muscle with the tissues. Identify the description that matches slow oxidative fibers.

During an isotonic contraction of a muscle, the muscle shortens while the tension in the muscle increases, as in straightening the legs when rising from a sitting position to a standing position.

The close association of a transverse (T) tubule and two terminal cisterns forms a:

Stretching before a workout is the best way to increase flexibility of muscles.

Intercalated discs in cardiac muscle contain what type(s) of cell junctions?

Epimysium surrounds skeletal muscle fibers (cells) within fascicles.

Place the following events in the correct order. 1) ACh is released into the synaptic cleft. 2) Synaptic vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane. 3) A muscle action potential is triggered. 4) An action potential arrives at the synaptic end bulb. 5) ACh binds to receptors on the motor end plate.

Match the connective tissue components of skeletal muscle with the tissues. Identify the description of a motor end plate.

The protein has direct contact with actin in a muscle in the resting state, while the _____ protein has direct contact with actin in a muscle in the contracting state.

Autorhythmicity is the ability to repeatedly generate spontaneous action potentials.
