Chapter 12
Across
- 2. The inability of muscle cells to relax that is due to high frequency stimulation
- 3. The structural and functional unit of skeletal muscle
- 5. Each fascicle of a muscle is surrounded by this
- 7. These structures carry the action potentials into the interior of the muscle to cause muscle contraction
- 8. This is characterized by continued attachment of myosin heads to actin filaments due to a lack of ATP
- 10. This type of contraction occurs against a resistance greater than the force of contraction and causes muscle lengthening
- 11. This is composed primarily of thick filaments
- 12. The prime mover of any skeletal movement
- 14. The more movable bony attachment
Down
- 1. The movement of the troponin-tropomyosin complex requires this ion
- 2. This is also known as the staircase effect, and represents a warm up effect due to increasing intracellular calcium concentrations
- 4. Each somatic motor neuron with all the muscle fibers it innervates is known as this
- 6. This is the specialized region of the sarcolemma at the neuromuscular junction
- 9. The light band of a skeletal muscle
- 13. This protein primarily makes up the thick filament
