Q

the process of producing heat

A

thermogenesis

25
Q

Muscular tissues produce heat during contraction.

A

generating heat

26
Q

Most of the heat generated by the muscle is used to maintain

A

normal body temp

27
Q

the involuntary contractions of skeletal muscle, which can increase the rate of heat production

A

shivering

28
Q

usually attached to bones by tendons

A

skeletal muscle tissue

29
Q

Long cylindrical fiber with many peripherally located nuclei; unbranched; striated with alternating light and dark bands seen by microscopy

A

skeletal muscle tissue

30
Q

Arise from the fusion of a hundred or more small mesodermal cells called

A

myoblasts

31
Q

Part of the myoblast population does not fuse and differentiate but remains as a group of mesenchymal cells called muscle

A

satellite cells

32
Q

proliferate and produce new muscle fibers following muscle injury

A

satellite cells

33
Q

length of skeletal muscle

A

from few centimeters or 30-40 in the longest muscles

34
Q

diameter of skeletal muscle fibers

A

very large (10-100um)

35
Q

long, finger-like invaginations of the sarcolemma that penetrate into the sarcoplasm

A

transverse tubules

36
Q

aligned with each A-I band junctions

A

transverse tubules

37
Q

filled with interstitial fluid

A

transverse tubules

38
Q

number of nuclei of skeletal muscle

A

100 or more in each skeletal muscle fiber

39
Q

found just beneath the sarcolemma

A

nuclei

40
Q

large molecule composed of many glucose molecules

A

glycogen

41
Q

can be used for ATP synthesis

A

glycogen

42
Q

red-colored protein, found only in muscle

A

myoglobin

43
Q

binds oxygen molecules that diffuse into muscle fibers from interstitial fluid and releases oxygen when it is needed by the mitochondria for ATP Production

A

myoglobin

44
Q

lie in rows throughout the muscle fiber, strategically close to the contractile muscle proteins that use ATP during contraction so that ATP can be produced quickly as needed

A

mitochondria

45
Q

fluid-filled system of membranous sacs that encircles each myofibril

A

sarcoplasmic reticulum

46
Q

dilated end sacs of the SR called terminal cisterns butt against the T tubule from both sides

A

sarcoplasmic reticulum

47
Q

in a relaxed muscle fiber, this stores calcium ions. release of ca++ from the terminal cisterns of this triggers muscle contraction

A

49
Q

About 2um in diameter and extend the entire length of muscle fiber

A

myofibrils

50
Q

containing thin and thick filaments (myofilaments) whose overlapping organization produces staining differences that cause striations
