1

Skeletal Muscle/Voluntary Muscle

card image

-attaches to the skeleton
-shapes the body and gives you the ability to move
-most of the muscle tissue in the body
-consciously controlled
-striated

2

Fibers

card image

-large, long cylindrical cells that makes up skeletal muscle
-multinucleated

3

Sarcolemma

card image

-membrane enclosing a striated muscle fiber

4

Myofibrils

card image

-a contractile fibril of skeletal muscle
-made up of myofilaments

5

Myofilaments

card image

-composed of actin and myosin, which slide past each other during muscle activity to bring about shortening and contracting of the muscle cells

6

Sarcomere

card image

-contractile units of muscle
-extends from the middle of one I band (its Z disc) to the middle of the next along the length of the myofibrils

7

Transverse Tubule (t tubule)

card image

-deep invagination of the sarcolemma

8

Terminal Cisterns

card image

-pairs of tranversely oriented channels that are confluent with the sarcotubules, which together with an intermediate T tubule constitute a triad of skeletal muscle

9

Triads

card image

-regions where the sarcoplasmic reticulum terminal borders a t tubule on each side.

10

Endomysium

card image

-delicate areolar connective tissue that encloses each muscle fiber

11

Perimysium

card image

-collagenic membrane surrounding several muscle fibers

12

Fascicle

card image

-bundle of fibers

13

Epimysium

card image

- large number of fascicles bounded together by dense connective tissue

14

Deep Fascia

-coarser sheets of dense connective tissue that bind muscles into functional groups

15

Insertion

card image

-a muscles more movable attachment

16

Origin

card image

- a muscles immovable attachment

17

Neuromuscular/Myoneural Junction

card image

- junction between an axon of a motor neuron and a muscle cell

18

Motor Unit

card image

-a neuron and all the muscle fibers it stimulates

19

Synaptic Cleft

card image

-small fluid-filled gap separating the neuron and muscle fiber membranes
