bio kahoot muscle Flashcards
The epimysium covers
the muscle
Which muscles have a single nucleus
Cardiac and smooth
A single motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers it innervates
motor unit
Order from most to least complex
Muscle, fascicle, muscle fiber, myofibril
The smallest unit of muscle structure
sacromere
Calcium binds to
troponin
Sustained contraction that lacks even partial relaxation between stimuli
Tetanus
Order steps of muscle contraction
Nerve action travels down motor neuron and release ach
Ach binds to receptors so sodium channels open causing depolarization
T tubules trigger sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium
Calcium binds to troponin, removing tropomyosin from actin binding sites
What is released into the NMJ to stop muscle contraction
Acetylcholinesterase
Characteristics of oxidative glycolytic fibers
Pink, walking, medium amount of mitochondria
Characteristics of fast glycoltic fibers
White, weight lifting, little mitochondria
characteristics of slow oxidative fibers
Red, endurance running, give ATP slow
Time during which muscle tension increases
contraction period
Time lag between when stimulus is applied and when contraction occurs
latent period
Time during which muscle tension decreases, and muscle returns to resting state
refactory period
