the flattened end of a motor neurone that transmits impulses to a muscle
7 of 24
Q: ______ motor neurones can stimulate _______ muscle
A: MANY motor neurones can stimulate ONE muscle
8 of 24
Q: _____ neurone can innervate ______ muscle cell
A: ONE neurpne can innervate ONE muscle cell
9 of 24
Q: the function of branching motor neurones
A: many neuromuscular junctions / one neurone can cause contraction of a whole motor unit (cluster of muscle cells)
10 of 24
Define: gradation of response
the more motor units stimulated the greater the force of contraction
11 of 24
Q: Fine movements are controlled by ____ motor units consisting of a _____ of cells in each motor unit
A: Fine movements are controlled by MANY motor units consisting of a FEW of cells in each motor unit
12 of 24
define: actin
a protein found in muscle cells / the main component of thin filaments
13 of 24
define: myosin
protein found in muscle cells / the main componet of thick filaments / has heads which form cross bridges associated with muscle contraction
14 of 24
Q: myofilaments found in voluntary muscle
actin and myosin
15 of 24
A: name of thick filament in voluntary muscle
A: Myosin
16 of 24
A: name of thin filament in voluntary muscle
A: actin
17 of 24
Define: myofibrils
organelles consisting of bundles of myofilaments (action and myosin)
18 of 24
Q: the line in the MIDDLE of the DARK band of the myofibril
M line
19 of 24
Q: the line in the MIDDLE of the LIGHT band of the myofibril
Z line
20 of 24
Q: where is the sarcomere on a myofibril
from Z line to Z line
21 of 24
Q: structure of myosin
thick filament / myosin heads which form cross bridges
22 of 24
Q: structure of actin
thin filament / globular protein / double helix chain / at each twist there is a binding site for myosin head / tropomyosin covers this during relaxation
23 of 24
Q: function of tripomyosin
part of actin which covers the binding site for myosin during relaxation
