List three reasons why the connective tissue wrappings of skeletal muscle ar important.The connec tive tissue wrappings (a) bundle the muscle fibers together, increasing coordination of their activity (b) add strength to the muscle and (c) provide a route for entry and exit of blood vessels and nerves to the muscle fibers.3. Why are there more indirect-that is, tendinous-muscle attachments to bone than there are direct attachments? They conserves space (less bulky than fleshy muscle attachments) and are more durable than muscle tissue where bony prominences must be spanned.4. How does an aponeurosis differ from a tendon structurally? tendon is a band or cord of the same tissue. An aponeurosis is a sheet of white fibrous connective tissue The diagram illustrates a small portion of several myofibrils.

On the spare-time activity figure, label a blood ve ssel, endomysium, epimysium, a fascicle, a muscle cell, perimysium, and the tendon. Perimysium Tendon Epimysium Fascicle 90 Review Sheet 14 r. The Neuromuscular Junction7. Complete the future(a) statements The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neurornuseular junction or a _1_ junction. A motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle cells it stimulates is called a _2_. The actual gap between the axon terminal and the muscle cell is called a _3_.Within the axon terminal are many small vesicles containing a neurotransmitter substance called_4_. When the _5_ reaches the ends of the axon, the neurotransmitter is released and diffuses to the muscle cell membrane to combine with receptors there. The combining of the neurotransmitter with the muscle membrane receptors causes the membrane to become permeable to both(prenominal) sodium and potassium. The greater influx of sodium ions results in _6_ of the membrane. Then contraction of the muscle cell occurs. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. yoneural motor unit synaptic cleft acetylcholine nerve itch (action potential) depolarization 8.
