A

Initiated by pacemaker cells

34
Q

Skeletal muscle action potential when excited initiated by

A

Chemical stimulus

35
Q

Where does a chemical stimulus occur in skeletal muscle?

A

Neuromuscular junction where ACh is releases by motor neuron as neurotransmitter

36
Q

What is ACh

A

A neurotransmitter, acetylcholine

37
Q

Where is the neuromuscular junction?

A

Junction between somatic motor neuron and muscle

38
Q

What is contractibility in regards to muscle?

A

Ability of muscular tissues to contract forcefully when stimulated by action potentials

39
Q

What produces tension?

A

Contraction without muscle shortening

40
Q

Greater the change in velocity of muscle fiber, greater the (-)

A

Force of contraction

41
Q

What is the formula for force

A

F=ma

42
Q

Force in regards to muscle produces what?

A

Movement

43
Q

What is extensibility in regards to muscle?

A

Ability of muscular tissues to stretch without being damaged, within limits

44
Q

What is elasticity in regards to muscle?

A

Ability of muscular tissues to return to its original length and shape after contraction or extension

45
Q

What is the function of titin?

A

Provides elasticity and stabilizes myosin

46
Q

Titin and nebulin are what?

A

Accessory proteins

47
Q

What is the function of nebulin?

A

Helps to align actin

48
Q

Where is titin found?

A

Spans the distance of from one Z disk to neighboring M line

49
Q

Where is nebulin found?

A

Lies along thin filament, attaches to a Z disk but does not extend to the M line

50
Q

What is adaptability in regards to muscle?

A

Muscular tissues have the ability to undergo hypertrophy or atrophy

51
Q

What produces hypertrophy?

A

Exercise

52
Q

2 types of skeletal muscle types:

A
  • Slow-twitch oxidative fibers (type I)
  • Fast-twitch oxidative/glycolytic fibers (type II)
53
Q

2 types of type II skeletal muscle

A
  • Type IIa (fast-twitch oxidative fibers)
  • Type IIb/IIx (fast-twitch glycolytic fibers)
