Question | Answer |
---|---|
How many different types of muscle tissue are there? | 3 |
Major function of muscle tissue? | Stopping the movement of joints Moving blood throughout the body Generating heat through contractions |
This is a band of connective tissue that surrounds an entire muscle. | Epimysium |
The cylindrical structures that extend along the entire length of a muscle fiber are: | Myofibrils |
The thick filaments of a sarcomere consist of: | Myosin |
What slides past what during muscle contraction? | Thin filaments slide past thick filaments |
This consists of a somatic motor neuron plus all the skeletal muscle fibers it stimulates. | Motor unit |
The neurotransmitter released from synaptic end bulbs after arrival of a nerve impulse is: | Acetylcholine |
What ingredients are needed for muscle contraction? | ATP and Ca2+ |
The sequence that muscle action potentials must go through to excite a muscle cell are: | Axon of neuron, sarcolemma, T tubules, sarcoplasmic reticulum |
Where is ATP split to energize contraction of a sarcomere? | At the myosin heads |
Creatine phosphate and ATP together create enough energy for a muscle to contract for | 15 Seconds |
Aerobic respiration requires? | It requires oxygen and mitochondria |
The brief delay between application of a stimulus and the beginning of contraction is called the: | Latent period |
Increasing the number of active motor units is called: | Motor unit recruitment |
In an isometric contraction, the muscle develops tension but does not: | Shorten |
Hypertrophy is: | An increase in the size of muscle fibers |
Which of the following exhibits autorhythmicity? | Cardiac muscle fibers |
Smooth muscle tone is due to the prolonged presence of what in the cytosol? | Calcium ions |
Between the ages of 30-50,about ______of muscle mass has been lost | 10% |
How much of the total body weight of the average adult is muscle tissue? | 40-50% |
Which type of muscle tissue is nonstriated and involuntary? | Smooth |
This is the property of muscle that gives it the ability to stretch without damage. | Extensibility |
This is a band of connective tissue that surrounds fascicles of muscle fibers within a muscle. | Perimysium |
For every nerve that penetrates a skeletal muscle there are general how many arteries and veins? | One artery and one or two veins |
The basic functional units of striated muscle fibers are: | Sarcomeres |
What regulatory proteins can be found on an actin molecule? | Tropomyosin and Troponin |
In the sliding filament mechanism, the thin filament is being pulled towards the | Center of the sarcomere |
Axon terminal clusters at the ends of neuromuscular junctions are referred to as: | Synaptic end bulbs |
The signal to excite a muscle cell must cross the neuromuscular junction by the diffusion of acetylcholine across the: | Synaptic cleft |
This part of the skeletal muscle cell releases calcium when stimulated by the T tubules. | Terminal cisterns of sarcoplasmic reticulum |
The sarcoplasmic reticulum is used for storing: | Ca2+ |
What energizes the myosin head? | ATP hydrolysis reaction |
True or False. Transfer of energy from creatine phosphate to ADP, anaerobic cellular respiration, and aerobic cellular respiration are all processes by which muscles produce ATP. | true |
Lactic acid is created during: | Anaerobic respiration |
This is a brief contraction of all muscle fibers in a motor unit in response to a single action potential. | Twitch contraction |
A sustained contraction that is stimulated at a rate higher than 80 to 100 times per second, is called: | Tetanus |
Example of white fibers? | Fast glycolytic fibers |
Involuntary and often painful contractions of muscles are called: | Spasms |
Muscle spindles are supplied by: | Gamma motor neurons |
Which muscle fibers are joined by intercalated discs? | Cardiac muscle fibers |
The muscle tissue found in many internal organs and blood vessels is: | Smooth muscle |
When connective tissue extends as a broad flat layer, the tendon is referred to as | Aponeurosis |
Which of the following are the proprioceptors that monitor the changes in the length of skeletal muscles? | Muscle spindles |
