A

contract

32
Q

voltage of a repolarizing neuron or muscle fiber becomes more ______.

A

negative

33
Q

protein channels connecting cardiac muscle cells which allow action potentioals to pass from cell to cell are called;

A

gap junctions

34
Q

a whole muscle is innervated by;

A

more than 1 neuron

35
Q

smooth muscle properties;

A
  • relatively constant tension

- autorhythmic contractions

36
Q

action potential travels from the brain or spinal cord along the axons to;

A

across the plasma membrane by stimulating the production of another action potential

37
Q

intercalate means=

A

=insert between or among element (branched cardiac muscle fiber)

38
Q

a type of smooth muscle that contracts as many independent units and has fewer gap junctions is;

A

multiunit smooth muscle

39
Q

electrically excitable cells are _______.

A

polarized

40
Q

polarized means;

A

electrical charge difference exists across each plasma membrane

41
Q

3 location of fatigue;

A
  • central nervous system = psychological fatigue/emotional state
  • muscle fiber = muscular fatigue/Ca+ imbalances by dropped ATP level
  • neuromuscular junction = synaptic fatigue/too many ACh, empty synaptic vesicles
42
Q

7 functions of the muscular system;

A
  1. movement of the body (skeletal)
  2. maintenance of body posture (skeletal)
  3. respiration (skeletal)
  4. production of body heat (skeletal)
  5. communication (skeletal)
  6. constriction (compress) of organs and vessels (smooth)
  7. contraction of the heart (cardiac)
43
Q

during Depolarization of action potential, the membrane potential voltage becomes _____

A

positive

44
Q

during Repolarization of action potential, the membrane potential voltage becomes _____

A

negative

45
Q

organelles located within the presynaptic terminals and contain neurotransmitter are called;

A

synaptic vesicles

46
Q

each action potential affects;

A

only a small area of the plasma membrane at a time

47
Q

the force of contraction is increased in 2 ways:

A
  1. summation (within the muscle)

2. recruitment (number of muscle fibers)

48
Q

muscle relaxation;

A

occurs when acetylcholine is no longer released at the neuromuscular junction.

  1. action potential stops along the sarcolemma stops Ca+ release, Ca+ is actively transported back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
  2. Ca+ diffuses away from the troponin molecules.
  3. troponin-tropomynosin complex and reestablishes its position, which blocks the active sites on the actin molecules.
  4. cross-bridges cannot re-form once they have been released, and the muscle relaxes.

arrector pili muscle=

A

cause hair to stand (locates in dermis)

53

action potential in the motor neuron generates an action potential in each of the muscle fibers of its ________.

A

motor unit

2 types of isotonic contractions (the amount of tension produced by the muscle is constant during contraction but the length of the muscle changes)

A
  • concentric contraction =lifting a loaded backpack from the floor
  • eccentric contraction =slowly lowers a heavy weight
60
Q

mechanism of ATP production that requires oxygen is;

A

aerobic respiration

61
Q

thin myofilament =

A
  • actin
  • troponin
  • tropomyosin
62
Q

during a single contraction, each myosin molecule undergoes the cycle of cross-bridge formation, movement (power stroke), release and return (recovery stroke) many times, this called;

A

cross-bridge cycling

63
Q

A

myoglobin

64
Q

receptor molecules that stimulate smooth muscle contractions open ____ or _____ channels

A

Na+ / Ca2+

65
Q

when muscle fiber relaxes, ATP is needed to;
