24
Q

What enzyme breaks down acetylcholine

A

Acetylcholinerase

25
Q

Single stimulus contraction relaxation sequence in a muscle fiber

26
Q

Graph of tension development in muscle fibers

27
Q

Action potential sweeps across sarcolemma
SR releases calcium ions
Contraction cycle has not beguny

A

Latent period

28
Q

Tension rises to Peak

Calcium binds to troponin allowing cross bridge formation between myosin head and active site on Actin

A

Contraction phase

29
Q

Calcium level falls
Active sites covered by Tropomyosin
Number of cross bridges decline with detachment

A

Relaxation phase

30
Q

Muscle fiber controlled by one motor neuron

A

Motor unit

31
Q

Size of the motor unit varies with what

A

Muscle control

32
Q

Muscle fibers of different motor units are what

A

Intermingled

33
Q

Movement begins with the smallest motor units

As the movement continues more and larger motor units are stimulated to contribute producing great attention

A

Recruitment

34
Q

Muscle length changes then remains constant

A

Isotonic contraction

35
Q

Muscle shortens

A

Concentric contraction

36
Q

Muscle lengthens

A

Eccentric contraction

37
Q

Muscle length does not change

A

Isometric contraction

38
Q

Occurs in the cytoplasm and produces little ATP

A

Glycolysis

39
Q 
Citric acid cycle
Electron transport chain
Occurs in the mitochondria
Produces the most ATP
Myoglobin Stores extra oxygen
A

Aerobic phase

40
Q

Stores energy that quickly converts to ADP to ATP

A

Creatine Phosphate

41
Q

The amount of oxygen needed by liver cells to use the accumulated lactic acid To produce glucose

A

Oxygen debt

42
Q

Lacks troponin instead uses calmodulin
Uses two neurotransmitters
Stretching can trigger a muscle contraction
Slower to contract and relax
More resistant to fatigue
Can change link without changing tautness
Some are self exciting or rhythmic

A

The differences between smooth muscle from Skeletal muscle

43
Q

What are cardiac muscle fibers join together by

A

Intercalated discs

44
Q

Increase in muscle size do to increase in myofilaments, myofribril size, and mitochondria
More glycogen and glycolic enzymes

A

Hypertropy

45
Q

Decrease in muscle size

46
Q

Virus attacks motor neurons of brain and spinal cord causing paralysis

47
Q

Tocsin from bacteria that suppresses the mechanism inhibiting motor neuron activity
Drive in low oxygen areas like deep puncture tissues
Results and sustained Powerball contractions of affected muscle

48
Q

Tocsin from bacteria that blocks acetylcholine release at Neuromuscular junctions

49
Q

Loss of acetylcholine receptors at the Neuromuscular junctions
Results and progressive weakness

A

Myasthenia gravis

50
Q

Tetanic Contraction of all skeletal muscle post Mortem

A
