NPTE MSK Review

muscle physiology

QuestionAnswer
Are Type 1 muscle fibers Aerobic or Anaerobic? aerobic - red
Are Type 1 muscle fibers slow or fast twitch? slow
Are Type 1 muscle fibers slow-oxidative or fast-glycolytic? slow-oxidative
Are Type 1 muscle fibers tonic or phasic? Tonic => tonic muscles are responsible for holding your posture
Are Type 2 muscle fibers Aerobic or Anaerobic? Anaerobic - white
Are Type 2 muscle fibers slow or fast twitch? fast twitch
Are Type 2 muscle fibers slow-oxidative or fast-glycolytic? fast-glycolytic
Are Type 2 muscle fibers tonic or phasic? phasic => phasic muscles are used for dynamic movement.
what are functional characteristics of Type 1 Muscle fibers? low fatigability, smaller fibers, large blood supply, large amt of mitochondia => Ex: marathon, swimming
what are functional characteristics of Type 2 Muscle fibers? high fatigability, large fibers, less blood supply, less mitochondria => Ex:high jump, sprinting
What are muscle spindles? Measures change in LENGTH...spread throughout muscle belly.
What is the Golgi Tendon Organ? Measures changes in TENSION. When a GTO is stimulated, it causes its associated muscle to relax by interrupting its contraction. When a muscle is inhibited by a GTO, the process is called autogenic inhibition.
What is an isometric contraction Metric = length. Tension develops but no change in length of muscle. STATIC
what is an isotonic contraction Tonic = tension. Muscle shortens/lengthens while resisting constant load. DYNAMIC
what is an isokinetic contraction tension develops while shortening or lengthening at a constant speed

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
