This type of muscle is not striated
Smooth muscle
This type of muscle is found in the walls of some blood vessels, the stomach and intestinal walls, bronchioles and other organs under involuntary control.
Smooth muscle
This type of muscle can be under voluntary or involuntary control?
as seen with the reflex test in lab.
Skeletal muscle
These muscle cells are multinucleated
Skeletal muscles
Because these muscles contract and relax continuously from before birth until death, they are packed with mitochondria.
Cardiac muscle
This structure is an extension of the sarcolemma, allowing an action potential to travel deep into the cell.
Transverse tubule
This structure that stores calcium, when released, calcium will act as an intracellular messenger in muscle cells. What is the name of the structure?
Terminal cisternae
This structure is found at the end of the sarcomere
Z disc
This structure is a repeating pattern of bands and lines along the length of a muscle cell
Sarcomere
This protien undergoes a confirmational change called the power stroke?
Myosin
This Protein has a binding site for myosin
Actin
This band is part of a sarcomere’s length of the thick filaments
A band
What band is part of the sarcomere that only contains thin filament?
I band
This myofilaments is made up of about 250 myosin in a molecules?
Thick filaments
Another name for a muscle cell is a muscle?
Muscle fiber
Actin, troponin and tropomyosin make up this myofilament?
Thin filament
A part of this contractile protein is an ATPase
Myosin
This type of neuron innervates skeletal muscle cells?
Somatic motor neuron
The receptive area of a muscle cell is called?
Motor end plate
The area that includes the axon terminal of the neuron and the receptive area of the muscle cell is called?
Neuromuscular junction
what neurotransmitter is released by a neuron that innervates skeletal muscle?
Acetylcholine
which receptor to the neurotransmitter ACH that will bind at the receptive area on a skeletal muscle is?
Nicotinic receptors
When the neurotransmitter Ach binds to the nicotinic receptors, the channels open that allow this Ion to enter?
Sodium
When a muscle cell is excited, an action potential is generated and spreads along the sarcolemma and down the transverse tubules. The action potential activates these proteins that are located on the transverse tubules?
Dihyropyridine receptor
