Bio:Anatomy (No Spaces)

2. muscle loses ability to contract after prolonged exercise or strain
3. muscle fibers organized into bundles
6. SUstained contraction of an individual fibers, even when muscle is at rest.
9. vesicles where neurotransmitters are stored. These are released into the cleft and tell the muscle to contract. They are filled with ACH.
12. Folded area of the sarcolemma where the muscle and neuron communicate
13. fascicles surrounded by a membrane
15. The muscle fiber + the motor neuron
16. Enlargement of a muscle
17. stimulus stimulus
18. the neurotransmitter that crosses the synaptic gap and causes muscle contraction

1. a single muscle cell
2. excessive stretching and possible tearing of muscle or tendon
4. Enzyme that breaks down ACH
5. a sustain involuntary contraction
7. gape between the neuron and motor end plate (aka: synaptic cleft)
8. surrounds each muscle cell/fiber
10. where a nerve and muscle fiber/cell come together
11. More and more fibers contract as the intensity of the stimulus increases
14. muscles become small and weak due to disuse
15. Muscle disease/disorder
