48
Q

automatic pathway that mediates a response to a stimulus

A

Reflex arc

49
Q

Somatic reflex

A

skeletal muscle

50
Q

motor neuron & muscle fiber it innervates

A

Motor unit

51
Q

sequence of events from motor neuron signaling to a skeletal muscle fiber to contraction of the fiber’s sarcomeres

A

Excitation-Contraction Coupling

52
Q

muscle surface that ACH binds to

A

motor end plate

53
Q

degrades ACh in synaptic cleft

A

acetylcholinesterase (AChE)

54
Q
  1. ACh released, binding to receptors
  2. AP reaches T tubule
  3. Sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca2+
  4. active site exposure and cross-bridge formation
  5. contraction begins
A

steps that initiate a muscle contraction

55
Q
  1. ACh removed by AChE
  2. sarcoplasmic reticulum recaptures Ca2+
  3. active sites covered, no cross-bridge interaction
  4. contraction ends
  5. relaxation occurs, passive return to resting length
A

steps that end a muscle contraction

56
Q

what time of muscle fiber & where is it located

A

slow fibers (smaller diameter, darker color due to myoglobin; fatigue resistant)

located in the calf & back (prolong contraction)

57
Q

what time of muscle fiber & where is it located

A

fast fibers (larger diameter, paler color; easily fatigued)

located in the hands & eyes

58
Q

increase in cell size & increase # of myofibrils

A

Hypertrophy

59
Q

reduction in muscle size, tone, and power; due to disuse, age, or disease

60
Q

theory that actin filaments slide toward each other during muscle contraction, while the myosin filaments are still

A

sliding filament theory

61
Q

when contracting, they increase in diameter

A

Parallel muscles

62
Q

not as strong as parallel muscles; direction of tension can vary

A

Convergent muscles

63
Q
  • shortest contraction distance
  • produce more force than parallel muscles due to higher fiber concentration
A

Pennate muscles

64
Q
  • regulate opening and closing of an orifice
  • can be found at sphincters
  • some are active until relaxed
A

Circular muscles
