Across
- 1. _________ muscle fibers are large in diameter, fatigue easily, are the main component of “white muscle” and use anaerobic metabolism
- 6. ____ is required to break the cross-bridge of myosin & actin and allow for muscle relaxation to occur
- 7. thin filaments of the sarcomere are primarily composed of _________
- 8. with isotonic ________ contractions, tension is greater than load and the muscle fibers shorten
- 9. A skeletal muscle cell is also called a skeletal muscle _________
- 11. the muscles store excess glucose as ________
- 14. membrane complex that forms a tubular network around each myofibril, stores and releases calcium in the skeletal muscle fiber is the sarcoplasmic __________
- 15. with ________ contractions, tension develops but fibers stay the same length
- 16. layer of connective tissue that surrounds the entire skeletal muscle
- 17. the creatine ________ catalyzes conversion of ADP to ATP using the energy stored in creatine phosphate
Down
- 2. when calcium binds ________ it changes the shape of the troponin-tropomyosin complex and exposes the active sites on actin
- 3. when the active sites on actin are exposed, _____ heads can then bind to the actin
- 4. with anaerobic metabolism, the byproduct _____ acid is produced which can result in muslce fatigue and cramps
- 5. with ______ contractions,muscle fibers change length and an object is moved
- 7. __________ metabolism requires oxygen and is used by muscles at rest or with minimal activity
- 10. layer of connective tissue that surrounds each individual muscle fiber
- 12. thick filaments of the sarcomere are primarily composed of _________
- 13. The smallest functional unit of the muscle fiber, made up of myofibrils arranged into repeating units and is responsible for contraction of skeletal muscles
