what is another name for extrapyramidal systems?
brainstem pathways
striation appears due to numerous ____________ arranged in a __________

what is the net gain in ATP for aerobic respiration?
36 ATP
which kinds of muscle are striated?
skeletal and cardiac
in anaerobic glycolysis, where does glycolysis occur?
in the sarcoplasm
what splits ATP into ADP and Pi, allowing the head to bind to actin where the muscle is stimulated?
myosin head
plasma membrane covering each muscle fiber
sarcolemma
cause of muscle fatigue: due to decreased release of _______ from _________ causing decreased levels in the sarcoplasm
Ca++; SR
where do thick filaments connect? what connects them?
z lines; titin
which type of skeletal muscle fiber responds the most to training?
fast oxidative glycolytic
what is another name for the pyramidal system?
corticospinal system
assesses sensory input from vestibular and proprioceptive sensory information
romberg test
what is the most immediate way a muscle fiber can attain ATP?
creatine phosphate
tunnel-like extensions of the sarcolemma that can conduct action potentials
transverse tubules
what are possible energy sources for aerobic respiration?
glucose, fatty acids, amino acids
type of recruitment: high number of motor units
jerky contraction
which kind of muscle is responsible for vasodilation and constriction?
smooth muscle
type of skeletal muscle fiber: uses aerobic respiration
slow oxidative
which pathway to ATP can only use glucose as an energy source?
anaerobic glycolysis
what part of the brain helps initiate, terminate, and control movements, regulate muscle tone, behavior?
basal ganglia
type of recruitment: small number of motor units
smooth contraction
what are 5 causes of muscle fatigue?
- lower levels of Ca++ 2. depletion of nutrients (ex: O2, CP) 3. too much lactic acid 4. cross bridge inhibition 5. failure to reach AP
which system of motor control involves upper motor neurons?
pyramidal system
arrangement of myofibrils within a muscle cell which is the *functional unit of contraction*

slow, writhing movements
athetosis
what are thin filaments composed of?
actin
incoordination, wobbling gait *cerebellar deficits*
ataxia
which protein physically blocks cross bridges, thereby regulating contractions?
tropomyosin
where do thin filaments connect terminally?
z lines
sequential muscle contraction stimulations (and resulting stronger contraction)
wave summation
contains many mitochondria that mass produce ATP
