Question
Answer
What structure is said to be involved in "gating of volitional movements?"   show
🗑
What is the relation of flexor to extensor motoneuron pools?   show
🗑
show proximal muscles are medial to distal muscles within ventral horn  
🗑
show low (10 fibers per unit)  
🗑
show high (1000 fibers per unit)  
🗑
show gamma motoneurons  
🗑
How much synaptic current is required to intiate repetitive firing of a motoneuron?   show
🗑
show fast fatigable  
🗑
show persistent changes in motor neuron activity can over time induce changes in muscle fiber type  
🗑
show increase the firing rate of active units and recruit more units  
🗑
show  
🗑
Which type of muscle's nerve fibers will have the lowest threshold?   show
🗑
show lower freq  
🗑
show Small motoneurons have a larger input resistance and thus a smaller current can is needed to successfully initiate a depolarization. Large motoneurons require more current to depolarize due to their small effective resistance  
🗑
show focal atrophy or diffuse muscle wasting, fasciculations, muscle weakness, decreased DTRs  
🗑


   

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.
