Definition
Epimysium

Term
7. When connective tissue extends as a broad flat layer, the tendon is referred to as what?

Definition
Aponeurosis
Term
8. For every nerve that penetrates a skeletal muscle there are generally how many arteries and veins?
Definition
One artery and one or two veins

Term
9. Axon terminal clusters at the ends of neuromuscular junctions are referred to as what?
Definition
Synaptic end bulbs

Term
10. What is the sequence that muscle action potentials must go through to excite a muscle cell?

Definition
Axon of a neuron, sarcolemma, T tubules
Term
11. After the fusion of myoblasts the muscle fiber loses its ability to do what?

Definition
Go through mitosis

Term
12. How are the mitochondria arranged in a muscle fiber?

Definition
In rows

Term
13. What are the contractile organelles of the muscle fiber?

Definition
Myofibrils / sarcomere
Term
14. What part of the skeletal muscle cell releases calcium when stimulated by the T tubules?

Definition
Terminal cisterns of sarcoplasmic reticulum

Term
15. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is used for storing what?
Definition
Ca+

Term
16. Where are the thin filaments located?


Definition
I band and A band


Term
17. Types of proteins contained in myofibrils:

Definition
Contractile proteins, regulatory proteins, structural proteins
Term
18. Motor protein in all three types of muscle tissue?
Definition
Myosin

Term
19. What regulatory proteins can be found on an actin molecule?


Definition
Tropomyosin and Troponin


Term
20. Where is titin found in a sarcomere?

Definition
From M line to Z disc

Term
21. Which protein is used to reinforce the sarcolemma?

Definition
Dystrophin
Term
22. What is the function of a neuroglia or glial cell?
Definition
Neuroglia separate and protect neurons, provide a supportive framework for neural tissue, act as phagocytes, help regulate the composition of the intestinal fluid – out numbers the neurons (support neurons) / maintain homeostasis, form myelin and provide support and protection for the brain’s neurons.
Term
23. Response to a stimulus first involves which process?
Definition
Detection from the dendrites or cell body / release of ACH
Term
24. Which type of neuron integrates information coming into and out of the central nervous system?
Definition
Interneuron / Sensory Neurons carry information to the CNS and Motor Neurons carry information from the CNS
Term
25. Which cell provides insulation for a neuron?
Definition
Oligodendroglia / myelin sheath
Term
26. Gaps found along the myelin sheath of a neuron are referred to as what?
Definition
Nodes of Ranvier
Term
27. This chemical facilitates transfer of action potential from one neuron to another or to a muscle?
Definition
Neurotransmitters/Acetylcholine (ACH)
Term
28. What is the structure of a neuron that detects an impulse?
Definition
Dendrites
Term
29. What is a nerve cell?
Definition
The basic unit of the nervous system, also known as neuron
Term
30. What is a junction between the terminal buds of a neuron and dendrites of another neuron?
