Answer 1

1. The inflammation of a tendon or its attachment point due to overuse of the muscle is known as Tendinitis.
2. A compound which accumulates in muscle fibers where it stores energy that can be used to synthesize ATP is known as Creatine phosphate.
3. Skeletal muscle fibers develop from cells called myoblasts.
4. The ilopsoas muscle, a combination of the iliacus and psoas major muscles, are important because they function as flexor of hip joint.
5. The enzyme which removes and recycles the neurotransmitter from the receptors of Na+ gated ion channels on the sarcolemma is Acetylcholinestrase.
6. The gastrocnemius joins with two other muscles, soleus and plantaris to from the calcaneal (Achilles) tendon.
7. Chemicals which cause production of action potentials in the post-synaptic membrane are called neurotransmitters.
8. A condition in which stimuli occur so rapidly as to not allow any relaxation between muscle contractions is called complete tetanus.
9. The progressive genetic disease where muscle tissue is replaced with fibrous connective tissue is known as Muscular dystrophy.
10. Opposition by the thumb is accomplished by contraction of the opponens pollicis muscle.
11. A strong band of fibrous connective tissue which covers the flexor and extensor tendons of the wrist and holds them in place is the retinaculum.
12. An age-associated, progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle is known as Sarcopenia.
