Which of the following occurs during the fight or flight response (constriction of pupils, bradycardia, increase blood glucose levels, bronchocontriction, increased urine formation) | Bronchoconstriction |
The peripheral nervous system (includes the brain and spinal cord, may be divided into somatic and autonomic nervous system, is only involved with unconscious activities) | May be divided into somatic and autonomic nervous system |
Which are of the following are functions of muscle tissues (producing movements of the body, stabilizing body positions, storing and moving substances within the body, generating heat) | All of them |
When performing a lift, such as a bench press, for several repetitions which of these types of muscle contractions are involved (eccentric, concentric, isometric) | All of them |
Skeletal muscle fibers that are smallest in diameter and thus are the least powerful type of muscle fibers are called | Slow oxidative fibers |
In an eccentric action the muscle develops tension and (lengthens, shortens, neither lengthen or shorter, does not conduct electrical current) | Lengthens |
