FINAL 01 - Muscular System Reporting Flashcards
It is a part of myofilament that forms short or thin filaments
Actin
What are the different parts of the actin?
G-actin, Tropomyosin, Troponin
It is a part of myofilament that do not slide during contraction and are free at both ends
Myosin
The region in the center of the sarcomere where only thick filaments are present, with no overlapping thin filaments
H-zone
4 microscopic structure of the skeletal muscle
Muscle fibers, Myofibrils, Sarcomeres, Myofilaments
There is a higher concentration of potassium (K+) ions inside the cell compared to the outside of the cell (T/F)
T
The resting membrane potential of a cell has a charge of -150 mV (T/F)
F
The resting membrane potential changes in response to stimuli that activate gated-ion channels (T/F)
T
Repolarization refers to the initial increase of the membrane potential to the value of the threshold potential (T/F)
F
The peak of the action potential where the membrane potential is positive is referred to as the overshoot (T/F)
T
What is contractility in muscle tissue?
a) Ability to stretch and lengthen
b) Ability to return to its original shape after being stretched
c) Ability to shorten forcibly when contracting
d) Ability to receive and respond to stimuli
C
Which example illustrates the concept of excitability in muscle function?
a) Stretching exercises like yoga
b) Reflex action when touching a hot surface
c) Performing a bicep curl
d) Using a rubber band
B
Extensibility in muscle tissue refers to its ability to:
a) Return to its original shape after being stretched
b) Respond to electrical stimulation
c) Lengthen and stretch beyond its normal resting length
d) Generate movement and pressure
C
What is elasticity’s role in muscle function?
a) Maintaining flexibility and range of motion
b) Allowing muscles to return to their original shape after stretching
c) Enabling muscles to respond to nervous system signals
d) Facilitating force generation during contraction
B
Which activity demonstrates the concept of elasticity in muscle tissue?
a) Stretching before exercise
b) Performing a knee-jerk reflex
c) Plyometric exercises like jump squats
d) Passive lengthening of muscles after contraction
C
3 phases of twitching
Latent period, Period of contraction, Period of relaxation
3 causes of twitching
Lack of sleep, Exercise, Lack of nutrients
A state of sustained contraction of a muscle during which the muscle does not relax to its initial length or tension
Tetanus
The occurrence of additional twitch contractions before the previous twitch has completely relaxed
Summation
What is the primary source for ATP synthesis in slow-twitch muscles?
Aerobic respiration
What role does myoglobin play in slow-twitch muscle fibers?
It acts as an oxygen reservoir
What is the primary energy source for fast-twitch muscle fibers?
Glycolysis
Which type of muscle fiber is characterized by fast contraction speed and high susceptibility to fatigue?
Type IIB fibers
