STUDY GUIDE FOR MUSCLE TEST
B day Wednesday, Jan 8
A day Thursday, Jan 7
1. Draw, label and explain the structures of skeletal muscle. Words used should be
actin, endomysium, epimysium, fascia, fasiculi, muscle, muscle fiber, myofibril,
myofilament, myosin, perimysium, sarcolemma, sarcomere, sarcoplasm,
sarcoplasmic reticulum, tendon
BONUS: If the words in bold are used to make a 3-Dimensional model and the
model is accurately explained to the class, then a maximum of 10 extra credit
points will be added to the muscle test score.
Due on Jan 4 B day or Jan 5 A day
2. Describe the 3 types of muscle tissue in regards to appearance, location and
control.
3. Explain the 3 functions of skeletal muscle.
4. What is the difference between a muscles origin, insertion, and belly?
5. Explain the 3 interactions of muscles (prime mover, antagonist, synergist).
6. What is the difference between tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses, and fascia?
7. Describe a motor neuron, neuromuscular junction, motor unit
8. Explain the Sliding Filament Theory OR explain the basics of muscle contraction.
9. What gives the muscles oxygen?
What is oxygen debt? What does it cause? What can be done about it?
10. Explain muscle fatigue.
11. Describe muscle tone, isotonic-isometric contractions.
What is the difference between eccentric and concentric?
12. Compare strength training versus endurance training. Aerobic vs anaerobic.
13. Describe the 4 effects exercise has on muscles. Hypertrophy vs atrophy.
14. How many muscles are in the human body?
15. Full body muscle diagram. Make sure you can identify every muscle on the list
you were given on the back of your guided notes, there will be a full body muscle
diagram. There will also be 7-10 questions in lab practical format.
