Chapter 10 Muscles Online Assignment

The document is a worksheet on muscular system physiology that contains vocabulary definitions and questions about muscle structure, function, and disorders. It defines terms like fascicle, tendon, twitch, anaerobic, and aerobic. It includes questions about labeling muscle anatomy, identifying connective tissues, explaining the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and myofilaments. Tables compare glycolysis vs. cell respiration, energy storage forms, and fast-twitch vs. slow-twitch muscle fibers. A graph is labeled showing the phases of a muscle twitch. Muscle disorders like polio, ALS, and muscular dystrophy are also summarized.

Muscular System Physiology Worksheet

Vocabulary
1. Fascicle – a bundle of fibres

2. Tendon – a cord or band of inelastic tissue connecting a muscle with its bony attachment

3. Twitch – move with abrupt, seemingly uncontrolled motions

4. Anaerobic – living or active in the absence of free oxygen

5. Aerobic – adjdepending on free oxygen or air

Short Answer
Be able to answer questions similar to these.

6. Label the myofibril, muscle, muscle fiber, and fascicle on the diagram below.
perimesium

Epimysium
myofibril

muscle fobre
7. Name the connective tissue (perimysium, epimysium, endomysium) covering each of these structures:

Muscle – endomysium

Fascicle – perimysium

Muscle Fiber (cell) - epimysium

8. What is the sarcoplasmic reticulum? What function does it have in muscle fibers?
The function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum is to storw calcium ions. Sarcoplasmic reticulum is
very abundant in skeletal muscle cells and is closely associated with the myofibrils.
9. What are the thick and thin filaments in muscle fibers that slide past each other called?
The myofibrils are made up of thick and thin myofilaments, which help give the muscle its
striped appearance. The thick filaments are composed of myosin, and the thin filaments
are predominantly actin, along with two other muscle proteins, tropomyosin and troponin.

stimulus

10. This graph shows the tension


produced by a single muscle twitch.
Label the latent period, contraction
phase, stimulus, and relaxation
phase.

latend period relaxation phase

contraction phase

11. Complete this table summarizing the differences between glycolysis and cell respiration.

Amount of ATP Where takes


Anaerobic / Aerobic place in cell
Produced
Glycolysis aerobic 2 krebs cycle
Cell Respiration Aerobic 2 Mitochondria

12. What two forms do muscles store excess energy in during rest? What molecules are these made from?
In a resting muscle, excess ATP transfers its energy to creatine, producing ADP and creatine
phosphate. This acts as an energy reserve that can be used to quickly create more ATP.
When the muscle starts to contract and needs energy, creatine phosphate transfers its
phosphate back to ADP to form ATP and creatine.

13. Complete the table below comparing fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers.

Amount of
Size Myoglobin? Color
Mitochondria
Fast-Twitch small Lower low white
Slow-Twitch large Higher high red

Motor the death of motor neurons


ALS (Lou Gehrig’s) neurons

Muscle fibres Difficulty rising from a lying or sitting position
