ENDOMYSIUM SURROUNDS MUSCLE FIBER

36
Q

What are the A bands of the sarcomere composed of?

A

THIN AND THICK

37
Q

Why is it important to have action potential in the muscle for contraction?

A

THE SR WILL RELEASE CA ONLY IF IT’S BEEN ELECTRICALLY STIMULATED

38
Q

What determines a normal resting heart rate?

A

PARASYMPATHETIC AND SYMPATHETIC

39
Q

At rest, which organs receive about 50% of cardiac output?

A

LIVER AND KIDNEYS

40
Q

What is the resting cardiac output approximately?

A

5 L/min while cardiac output during exercise can increase up to 25 L/min.

41
Q

At what percentage of VO2 max does stroke volume start to plateau for most individuals?

A

APPROXIMATELY 50% VO2MAX

Q

What are arterioles primarily responsible for?

A

CONTROLLING VASCULAR RESISTANCE

43
Q

What is the consequence of dehydration causing hematocrit to rise to 60%?
