Question
Answer

🗑
show Continued sustained smooth contraction due to rapid stimulation

🗑
How is a smooth increase in muscle force produced?   show
🗑

🗑
Peristalsis is characteristic of smooth muscle. T OR F?   show
🗑
A contraction in which a muscle does not shorten but its tension increases is called isometric. T OR F?   show
🗑
During isotonic contraction, the heavier the load, the faster the velocity of contraction. T OR F?   show
🗑
During Isometric contraction, the energy used appears as movement. T OR F?   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
show False  
🗑
Although there are no sarcomeres, smooth muscle still possesses thick and thin filaments. T OR F?   show
🗑
Whereas skeletal muscle cells are electrically coupled, smooth muscle cells appear to be chemically coupled by gap junctions. T OR F?   show
🗑
Single unit smooth muscle is found in the intestines. T OR F?   show
🗑
A resting potential is caused by a difference in the concentration of certain ions inside and outside the cell. T OR F?   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
show True  
🗑
The more slowly a skeletal muscle is stimulated the greater its external force becomes. T OR F?   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
Smooth muscles relax when intracellular Ca2+ levels drop but may not cease contractions. T OR F?   show
🗑
Recruitment is an option of a single unit smooth muscle cell. T OR F?   show
🗑
show To regulate intracellular calcium concentration.  
🗑
show when muscle fibers degenerate and atrophy.

🗑
What is recruited later in muscle stimulation when contractile strength increases?   show
🗑
show Increase in the number of muscle cells  
🗑
In skeletal muscle contraction, what does calcium do?   show
🗑
show Calcium Ions bond to troponin molecules.  
🗑
What does myoglobin do?   show
🗑
An elaborate network of membranes in skeletal muscle cells that functions in calcium storage is called:   show
🗑
Immediately after the stimulus arrive at the skeletal muscle cell there is a short period called the LATENT period, during which the events of ________ occur.   show
🗑
show It stores energy that will be transferred to ADP to resynthesize ATP.  
🗑
What happens to to calcium after nervous stimulation of the muscle cell has ceased?   show

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.
