Question 1

Define muscle tone.

Answer 1

Muscle tone is the amount of tension (or resistance to movement) in muscles.

Physiological contraction B

Question 19

It is a band of connective tissue that holds fown the tendons at each wrist and ankles.

Answer 19

Retinaculum

Question 20

How do the movements promoted by skeletal muscle differ from those promoted by smooth muscle?

Answer 20

Skeletal muscle movements can be very forcedul and rapid, whereas smooth muscle movements tend to be slow and ofrern rhythmic

Question 21

It is the electrical charge difference across the cell membrane of an unstimulated cell is called

Answer 21

Resting Membrane Potential

Question 22

What would happen to skeletal muscle if the epimysium were destroyed?

Answer 22

Muscles would lose their integrity during powerful movements, resulting in muscle damage

Question 23

Are specialized nerve cells that stimulate muscles to contract?

Answer 23

motor neurons

Question 24

Each branch forms a junction with a muscle fiber called.

Answer 24

neuromuscular junction

Question 25

What is the function of action potential in the motor neuron?

Answer 25

to stimulate the release of Ach (acetycholine)

Question 26

Describe how the terms muscle cells, muscle fibres, and myocytes relate to each other.

Answer 26

Both muscle fibres and myocytes are muscle cells. The term muscle fibre is mainly used to describe muscle cells in skeletal and cardiac muscles. The term myocyte is mainly used to describe muscle cells in smooth muscles

Question 27

What types of neurons have two processes: one dendrite and one axon. It is located in some sensory organs, such as retina of the eye and in the nasal cavity.

Answer 27

Bipolar neurons

Question 28

This is a major energy source in a hurdle race to the leg muscles?

Answer 28

Oxidative metabolism

Question 29

Describe the hamstring muscle.

Answer 29

three muscles run down the back of your leg, from your thigh to your knee. The biscepsfemuris, semitendinusus, and semembranosus and help you bend your knee and extend your hip. As a group they are known as the hamstring

Question 30

It is a group of synergists if one muscle plays the major role in accomplishing the desired movement. It is called.

Answer 30

Prime Mover

Question 31

Give atleast 4 major functions of the muscular system.

Answer 31

Movement of the body
Maintenance of posture
Respiration
Production of the body heat
Communication
Constriction of organs and vessels
Contraction of the heart

Question 32

Distinguish between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Answer 32

Aerobic respiration, which occurs mostly in mitochondria, requires O2 and breaks down glucose to produce ATP, CO2, and H2O.
Anaerobic respiration, which does not require O2, breaks down glucose to produce ATP and lactate

Question 33

What are the two types of muscle contraction? Explain each type.

Answer 33

Isometric contractions- this is the type of contraction that the muscle does not shorten and it increases the tension in the muscle, but the length of the muscle stays the same time.

Isotonic contractions- the type of contraction that the muscle shortens and this increases the tension in the muscle and decreases the length of the muscle.

Question 34

List down the seven most common characteristics used to name the muscles:

Answer 34

location
size
shape
orientation of fasies
origin and insertion
number of heads
function

Question 36

Muscles That Position the Pectoral Girdle

Answer 36

The pectoral girdle, or shoulder girdle, consists of the lateral ends of the clavicle and scapula, along with the proximal end of the humerus, and the muscles covering these three bones to stabilize the shoulder joint.

DESCRIBE THE SLIDING FILAMENT THEORY.

Answer 44

upon stimulation, the calcium will remove the troponin and the binding receptor will be open, then, the myocin head will be attached to the binding receptor. the thin filamen will slide to the thick filamen and movement will happen.
