Q

respiratory cycle

A

consists of one inhalation and one exhalation

bundles of contractile filaments run the length of the muscle fiber

62
Q

muscle cells are like neurons in what way

A

they are excitable

63
Q

if no calcium is present then

A

no muscle contraction

64
Q

Myoglobin

A

have an abundance of mitochondria, produce ATP, allow aerobic respiration to continue even if blood flow is insufficient to meet oxygen need
