Across
  1. 2. muscle loses ability to contract after prolonged exercise or strain
  2. 3. muscle fibers organized into bundles
  3. 6. SUstained contraction of an individual fibers, even when muscle is at rest.
  4. 9. vesicles where neurotransmitters are stored. These are released into the cleft and tell the muscle to contract. They are filled with ACH.
  5. 12. Folded area of the sarcolemma where the muscle and neuron communicate
  6. 13. fascicles surrounded by a membrane
  7. 15. The muscle fiber + the motor neuron
  8. 16. Enlargement of a muscle
  9. 17. stimulus stimulus
  10. 18. the neurotransmitter that crosses the synaptic gap and causes muscle contraction
Down
  1. 1. a single muscle cell
  2. 2. excessive stretching and possible tearing of muscle or tendon
  3. 4. Enzyme that breaks down ACH
  4. 5. a sustain involuntary contraction
  5. 7. gape between the neuron and motor end plate (aka: synaptic cleft)
  6. 8. surrounds each muscle cell/fiber
  7. 10. where a nerve and muscle fiber/cell come together
  8. 11. More and more fibers contract as the intensity of the stimulus increases
  9. 14. muscles become small and weak due to disuse
  10. 15. Muscle disease/disorder
