Question
Answer
show a neuron  
🗑
what is the name of the junction between axon terminal and motor end plate?   show
🗑
show the end of an axon  
🗑
show vessicles within the axon terminal that contain the neurotransmitter ACh which gets the message from neuron to muscle cell  
🗑
show acetocholine  
🗑
show the space between the axon terminal and motor end plate  
🗑
what is the motor end plate?   show
🗑
what is it called when there is a charge difference?   show
🗑
show Na+ (sodium ions)  
🗑
show K+ (potassium ions)  
🗑
show although there is an abundance of K+ on the inside, there is still more sodium ions on the outside, therefore, there is a difference in the charges  
🗑
show muscle and nerve  
🗑
show maintain  
🗑
show there is a change in the permeablity in the membrane so sodium ions go to the bottom and potassium ions go to the top  
🗑
show one; switch; switch  
🗑
the "switch" during action potential is really what?   show
🗑
what is action potential?   show
🗑
what is the first step for excitation-contraction coupling?   show
🗑
what is the second step for excitation-contraction coupling?   show
🗑
what is the 3rd step for excitation-contraction coupling?   show
🗑
show the attachment to the motor end plate allows the action potential to travel along the sarcolemma and once it gets to the t tubles it changes the permeablity in the terminal cisternae and allows them to release Ca+  
🗑
show calcium binds to troponin and tropomyosin  
🗑
show cross bridges flip up and connect to actin and cause it to slide toward the H zone  
🗑
show acetylcholinesterase stops contraction  
🗑
show broken down glucose  
🗑
show ADP  
🗑
show energy and the ability to do work is prsent  
🗑
ATP is stored in   show
🗑
show breaks attachment  
🗑
show energized myosin head attaches to actin and forms a cross bridge  
🗑
what is the second step of the cross bridge attachement?   show
🗑
what is the power stroke?   show
🗑
show ATP attaches to myosin and the link between actin and myosin weakens and myosin head detaches  
🗑
what is the 4th step of the cross bridge attachment?   show
🗑
show force buliding up in muscle (inside the muscle)  
🗑
show what is being moved (outside the muscle)  
🗑
what is isotonic contraction?   show
🗑
what is isometric contraction?   show
🗑
show the whole muscle  
🗑
what does the motor unit include?   show
🗑
show only 1  
🗑
How many motor units and axon terminals can an axon have?   show
🗑
How do we maintain tone? *   show
🗑
what is a myogram?   show
🗑
what is a twitch?   show
🗑
What is the lag phase in a myogram?   show
🗑
show building up of muscle tension; the # of myosin & actin bonds begin to increase until it reaches maximum contraction  
🗑
show period of relaxation  
🗑
show differently  
🗑
what is graded muscle response?   show
🗑
contraction strength can change only by:   show
🗑
show how many times stimulus is applied  
🗑
what is stimulus intensity?   show
🗑
in low stimulus frequency contraction, the stimulation is:   show
🗑
what is wave summation?   show
🗑
show because it adds stimulation before the contraction can finish  
🗑
show greater  
🗑
in high stimulus frequency contraction the stimuation is:   show
🗑
show because the stimulus is applied before the contraction has time to begin to undo itself  
🗑
what causes muscle to fatigue   show
🗑
a change in stimulus intensity is generally measured in what?   show
🗑
more and more motor units begin to be _____ with increase of intensity   show
🗑
show the point at which there is a first response to the buliding intensity of stimulus  
🗑
what is the lowest intensety that will genereate a response from a muscle called?   show
🗑
show intensity applied before threshold that is too weak to generate a response  
🗑
what is maximal stimulated intensity?   show
🗑
the more and more intensity added after threshold, the more ___ are filled to capactiy   show
🗑
show because all of the motor units have been engaged  
🗑


   

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.
