Question
Answer
What are the 3 elements of the skeletal muscle mechanics model?   1. Sarcomere 2. Tendons 3. Endomysium  
🗑
True or False, When the parallel elastic element is shortening, the sarcomere is lengthening?   False, Both have to be lengthening or shortening together  
🗑
What are the 4 phases of muscle contraction?   1. Isometric Contraction 2. Isotonic contraction 3. Isotonic relaxation 4. Isometric Relaxation  
🗑
During which phase of the muscle contration phase is there muscle tension development?   Isometric Contraction Phase  
🗑
During which phase of the muscle contration phase is there muscle contraction?   Isotonic Contraction Phase  
🗑
During which phase of the muscle contration phase is there muscle elongation?   Isotonic Relaxation Phase  
🗑
During which phase of the muscle contration phase does muscle tension dissipate?   Isometric Relaxation Phase  
🗑
What does isometric mean?   Same length  
🗑
How does a muscle contract but the length does not change?   The contractile machinery contracts, but the series eleastic element stretches an equal amount  
🗑
What does isotonic mean?   Same tension  
🗑
What is the movement phases of muscle contraction?   Isotonic phases  
🗑
What type of contraction actually lengthens muscle fibers?   Eccentric Contraction  
🗑
The velocity of muscle contraction is dependent upon what factor?   The weight of the load  
🗑
True or False, The greater the load, the faster the contraction.   False. Heavy load = Slow Contraction  
🗑
What is the Series Elastic element?   Tendons  
🗑
What is the Parallel Elastic element?   Endomysium  
🗑
What is the Contractile element?   Sarcomere  
🗑
During the Isometric Contraction Phase, what is happening to the Series Elastic element? Parallel Elastic element? Contractile element?   Series Elastic element - Lengthens, Parallel Elastic element - Shortens, Contractile element - Shortens  
🗑
During the Isotonic Contraction Phase, what is happening to the Series Elastic element? Parallel Elastic element? Contractile element?   Series Elastic element - Stays the same length, Parallel Elastic element - Shortens, Contractile element - Shortens  
🗑
During the Isotonic Relaxation Phase, what is happening to the Series Elastic element? Parallel Elastic element? Contractile element?   Series Elastic element - Stays the same length, Parallel Elastic element - Lengthens, Contractile element - Lengthens  
🗑
During the Isometric Relaxation Phase, what is happening to the Series Elastic element? Parallel Elastic element? Contractile element?   Series Elastic element - Shortens, Parallel Elastic element - Lengthens, Contractile element - Lengthens  
🗑
What phase of muscle contraction is happening when the sarcomeres are contracted and the whole muscle shortens?   Isotonic Contraction  
🗑
What is another name for the sarcomere length - tension relationship?   Active Tension Curve  
🗑
In the active tension curve, skeletal muscle diplays a bell shaped curve - Does cardiac muscle react in the same manner?   No  
🗑
When is any muscle capable of generating its greatest velocity?   When there is no load  
🗑
If a muscle is fully contracted, how much tension can be produced?   None  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
