  1. 6. A motor neuron and all the muscle fibers that it controls
  2. 7. Enzyme which breaks down ACh
  3. 11. Phase that lasts 15msec, tension increases at peak
  4. 13. Phase that lasts about 25msec, the period after the contraction when the tension in the muscle fiber returns to resting levels
  5. 14. The maximum amount of tension produced by a particular muscle or muscle group
Down
  1. 1. Contraction that exceeds the load and the muscle shortens
  2. 2. This thin filament protein pulls the tropomyosin binding site on actin
  3. 3. The resting tension in a skeletal muscle
  4. 4. Skeletal muscle fiber contraction begins with the release of ___
  5. 5. In ___tetanus a muscle almost produces peak tension
  6. 8. Contraction that changes is tension but not length
  7. 9. The synaptic knob contains vesicles of this neurotransmitter
  8. 10. The amount of time during which a person can perform a particular activity
  9. 12. A single stimulus contraction relaxation cycle in a muscle fiber
  10. 13. Steady increase in muscular tension produced by increasing the number of active motor units
