Match these terms with the correct statement or definition.

• Muscle fasiculus

• Connective tissue that surrounds a muscle fiber.

• Epimysium.

• Single muscle cell; makes up muscle fasciculi.

• Muscle fiber

• Connective tissue that surrounds muscle fasciculi.

• Endomysium.

• Connective tissue sheath that surrounds each skeletal muscle.

• Perimysium.

• Muscle bundle.

Match the following.

• Actin

• Covers and uncovers attachment sites for myosin on actin

  myofilaments.

• Myosin

• Provide calcium binding sites on actin myofilaments.

• Tropomyosin

• Thin myofilament which resembles two minute strands of

  pearls twisted together.

• Troponin

• Thick myofilaments which resemble bundles of golf clubs.

• Myofibril

• Thread-like structure that extends from one end of the muscle

  fiber to the other.

The basic structural and functional unit of the muscle is

• the sarcomere.

• myosin.

• actin.

• a muscle fiber.

Forms an attachment site for actin myofilaments; the end of the sarcomere.

• z-disk

• myofibril

Match the following.

• T tubules

• Invaginations (indentions) of the sarcolemma that wrap around sarcomeres.

• Sarcoplasm

• Highly organized, smooth endoplasmic reticulum; contains

  high concentrations of calcium.

• Sarcoplasmic reticulum

• The cytoplasm of a muscle fiber.

• Sarcolemma

• The cell membrane of a muscle fiber.
