What type of muscle(s) are involuntary?

a)

Cardiac and Skeletal

b)

Smooth and Skeletal

None

3.

What do you call "the outer sheath of connective tissue surrounding a skeletal muscle"?

a)

Endomysium

b)

Epimysium

c)

Perimysium

d)

Sarcolemma

4.

What is the structural and functional unit of a myofibril?

a)

Sarcoplasmic Reticulum

b)

Perimysium

c)

Filament

d)

Sarcomere

5.

What tissue(s) are striated?

a)

Cardiac only

b)

Smooth only

c)

Cardiac and Skeletal only

d)

Smooth and Skeletal only

6.

What part of the muscle contracts?

a)

Nucleus

b)

Tendon

c)

Sarcomere

d)

Motor Axon Neuron

7.

Which of these is the first step in muscle contraction?

a)

The Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR) releases Ca^2.

b)

The Sarcomere (z-lines) and muscle fiber shorten.

c)

The motor axon releases a nerve impulse which releases acetlycholine.

d)

The Ca^2 binds to the troponin, pulling the tropomyosin to the side, exposing the actin binding site.

Balances PH levels and regulates temperature

d)

Generates Heat

a)

Walking

b)

Marathon

c)

Bicycling

d)

Weightlifting

11.

What is the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum's role?

a)

To store and release Calcium to trigger contraction.

b)

To protect and cover a thin layer of connective tissue surrounding each muscle fiber.

c)

To bore anatomy kids.

d)

To protect filaments within myofibril.
