Question 4: What is the SARCOLEMMA?
Answer:
the muscle cell membrane.
Question 5: What molecules do calcium ions bind to in skeletal muscle cells?
Answer:
Calcium Ions bond to troponin molecules.Question 6: When a muscle fiber contracts, the I-Bands diminish in size, the H zones disappear, and the A bands move closer together but do not diminish in length. T OR F?
Answer:
True
Question 7: What is muscle tone?
Answer:
A state of sustained partial contraction Question 8: 3 discrete types of muscle fibers are identified based on size, speed, and endurance. wich would best represent the use of red fibers?
Answer:
a Long relaxing swim Question 9: Whereas skeletal muscle cells are electrically coupled, smooth muscle cells appear to be chemically coupled by gap junctions. T OR F?
Answer:
False Question 10: During isotonic contraction, the heavier the load, the faster the velocity of contraction. T OR F?
Answer:
False Question 11: Eccentric contractions are more forceful than concentric contractions. T OR F?
Answer:
True Question 12: What is the site of calcium regulation in the smooth muscle cell called?
Answer:
Calmodulin
Question 13: A motor neuron and all the muscle plates are referred to as a motor end plate. T OR F?
Answer:
False Question 14: What is recruited later in muscle stimulation when contractile strength increases?
Answer:
Motor units with larger, less excitable neurons.
Question 15: What do most muscles contain?
Answer:
A mixture of fiber types.Question 16: What happens to to calcium after nervous stimulation of the muscle cell has ceased?
Answer:
The calcium level in cytoplasm drops.Question 17: What is the phenomenon where the contraction strength of a muscle increases due to increase in Ca2+ availability and enzyme efficiency during the warm up?

performance is called___:
Answer:
TREPPE
Question 21: What is tetanus?
Answer:
Continued sustained smooth contraction due to rapid stimulation Question 22: Although there are no sarcomeres, smooth muscle still possesses thick and thin filaments. T OR F?
Answer:
True
Question 23: Why does Rigor mortis occur?
Answer:
Because there is no ATP available to release attached actin and myosin molecules.
Question 24: Single unit smooth muscle is found in the intestines. T OR F?
Answer:
True Question 25: During Isometric contraction, the energy used appears as movement. T OR F?
Answer:
False
Question 26: what is true about isotonic contraction?
Answer:
Muscle tension remains relatively constant.Question 27: One of the important functions of skeletal muscle contractions is to produce heat.
T OR F?
Answer:
True
Question 28: What is maximal stimulus?
Answer:
The stimulus above which no strongest contraction can be elicited, because all motor units are firing in the muscle.
