Change in voltage of a cell membrane in response to a stimulus that results in transmission of an electrical signal unique to neurons & muscle fibers

Loss of structural proteins from muscle fibers

Muscle contraction that shortens the muscle to move a load

Ability to shorten(contract) forcibly

phosphagen used to store energy from ATP and transfer it to the muscle

Muscle contraction that lengths a muscle as the tension is diminished.

Ability to stretch and rebound.

Outer layer of Connective tissue around a skeletal muscle.

Ability to undergo neural stimulation.

Signaling chemical release by nerve terminal that bind to inactive receptors on target cells.

Bundle of muscle fibers Within a skeletal muscle.

Replacement of muscle fibers by scar tissue.

Addition of structural proteins to muscle fibers

Muscle contraction that occurs with no change in muscle length

motor neuron and the group of muscle fibers it innervates .

Low levels of muscle contraction That occurs when a muscle is not producing movement

Protein that makes up the most of the thick cylindrical micro filament. Within a sarcomere muscle fiber

Plasma membrane of a skeletal muscle fiber

Cytoplasm of muscle cell

Longituinally,repeating functional unit of skeletal muscle,with all contractile and associated proteins involved in contraction.

Age-related muscle atrophy

Single contraction produce by one action potential

Space between a nerve (axon) terminal and a motor end plate

Addition of successive neural stimuli to produce greater contraction.
