Skeletal muscles are surrounded
by a fibrous _________
epimysium
Connective tissue called _________ subdivides the muscle into fascicles.
perimysium
Group of muscle fibers surrounded by a perimysium?
fasicle
Each fascicle is subdivided into _________ surrounded by _________
-muscle fibers

-endomysium
the ability to be stretched or extended.
Extensibility
the ability of a muscle fiber to resume its resting length.
Elasticity
region between two successive Z lines.
Sarcomere
protein that anchors in the thick filaments and allows elastic recoil of muscle.
Titin
I bands
contain only thin filaments
A bands
contain both thick and thin filaments
H bands
are the center of the A band with no thin filament overlap.
Z lines
are found in the center of each I band
M lines
are found in the center of each A band and help hold down thick filaments.
During contraction what zones move?
H zone and I band narrow

Z lines move closer together
Troponin complex and tropomyosin are ________ proteins
regulatory
__________ blocks the myosin binding site on actin
Tropomyosin
Calcium binds to __________. This causes a conformational change of __________ allows myosin to bind actin
-troponin-c

-tropomyosin
precision of muscle movement is indicated by
Indicated by number of muscle fibers per motor unit
Slow oxidative fiber - type 1
•Smallest, lots Myoglobulin
•Slow contraction rate
•Longer peak reach tension
•Aerobic respiration- ATP synthesis
•Fatigue resistant-jogging
-largest, low myoglobulin
-most powerful contraction
-Glycolysis-ATPsynthesis
-Strong & rapid contraction
-Intense movement - weight lifting
-Rapidly fatigued
Fast glycolytic fiber - type 2
•Medium sized, lots Myoglobulin
•Fast contraction rate
• walking/sprinting
•Aerobic respiration & Glycolysis- ATPsynthesis
•Moderate fatigue resistant
fast oxidative-glycolytic fiber - type 2b
type 1 fibers increase with increasing
type 1 fibers increase with increasing endurance actiivity
type 2a fibers decrease with increasing
type 2 fibers decrease with increasing endurance activity
type 2b fibers remain constant and drop off with increasing
endurance activity
isotonic contraction?

two types?
tension remains constant while length changes

2 types: eccentric and concentric
eccentric isotonic contraction
muscle increases in length with contraction
concentric isotonic contraction
muscle decreases in length with contraction
abductor muscle
moves limb away from midline
adductor muscle
moves limb toward midline
levator
moves insertion upward
depressor
moves insertion downward
The ratio of ____ muscle fibers to _______ fibers increases with increasing __________
-ratio of fast type 2b (oxy-glycolytic) to fast type 2a (glycolytic) increases with increasing endurance activity
type 1 other name?
slow oxidative fiber
type 2a other name?
fast glycolytic fiver
type 2b other name
fast oxidative-glycolytic
stretch on muscle spindle activates ________ fibers.
intrafusal
sensory neuron activates ________ located in the ______
-alpha motor neuron

-spinal cord
alpha motor neuron stimulates _______ to contract
extrafusal fibers
