final exam apk Flashcards
fatigue coincides with the depletion of all of the following except
lactate
____ is when oxygen uptake remains elevated above rest into recovery
EPOC
which of the following is/are false concerning events that occur during stimulation of a motoneuron and generation of an action potential?
the action potential is propagated down the dendrite
research that takes place in the field is generally better controlled than in a laboratory setting
false
the stimulation of the golgi tendon organ leads to ___ of agonist muscles and ____ of antagonist muscles
inhibition; excitation
which of the following is NOT considered part of you total daily energy expenditure?
breathing rate
according to the size principle of motor unit recruitment, which motor unit will be recruited first for a task
type I fibers
which of these sets of factors determines the rate of ATP production?
substrate availability, enzyme activity
one mole of glucose when degraded in anaerobic glycolysis will have a net production of:
2 moles of ATP
which of the following occurs immediately after the power stroke in the sliding filament theory?
myosin disconnects from actin
ATP and PCr can both be used directly for fueling cellular work for brief by intense exercise bouts
false
the thick myofilaments are:
myosin
recovery of normal heart rate, airway diameter, and arterial diameter after exercise occurs through the ____ nervous system
parasympathetic
the study of how the body’s structures and functions are altered when exposed to acute and chronic exercise is an appropriate definition of
exercise physiology
glucose is the primary ATP substrate for the muscles and brain
true
the release of energy for PCr is catalyzed by
creatine kinase
what occurs immediately after myosin attaches to the actin binding site?
the power stroke occurs
muscle action is initiated when ___ activates the actin filaments
calcium
which of the following is a criteria for a VO2max test?
RER=1.15
many marathon runners “hit the wall” around mile 20. what does this tell about glycogen?
glycogen stores are likely significantly reduced or depleted by mile 20
most people achieve their highest aerobic capacity when tested with the use of
a treadmill
the breakdown of creatine phosphate is regulated by:
ADP concentration in the cytoplasm
which part of the myofilaments has a binding site for ATP and a binding site for actin
myosin
the ATP-PCr system would be the primary ATP source for which event
50 m sprint
as intensity increases, in which order are fibers recruited?
type I, type II, type IIx
what is the importance of NAD and lactate in the glycolytic pathway
lactate assists in regenerating NAD and removes H+ when it leaves the cell
explain the role of the muscle spindle in the stretch reflex
the muscle spindle inhibits the antagonist muscle and excites the agonist muscle. it is a receptor that is sensitive to the length of a muscle
what is the purpose of each of the following in the sliding filament theory?
a. acetylcholine
b. calcium
c. ATP
a. acetylcholine crosses the synapse and binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane
action potential cycle
steps of muscle contraction
- AP travels down axon of alpha-motor neuron
- AP crosses the synapse to the muscle fiber
- AP is generated through the muscle fiber
- Depolarization leads to release of calcium from SR
- calcium binds to troponin and the actin binding site is exposed
- ATP bound to myosin is hydrolyzed and myosin can bind to actin
7.phosphate is released from the ATP and the power stroke occurs - ADP is released from the myosin binding site and myosin is released from the actin binding site
9.myosin re-positions and is re-energinzed - calcium is pumped back into the SR
the volume of air that remains in the lungs after expiration and cannot be exhaled is the
residual volume
which of the following does NOT intrinsically control blood flow?
respiratory mechanisms
during exercise, blood flow will be redirected to the muscles and the ____
skin
which endocrine organ does NOT play a role in fluid regulation
adrenal medulla
if dehydration causes hematocrit to rise, what is the consequence?
increased blood viscosity
mechanoreceptors are located in the aortic arch and carotid arteries and are sensitive to changes in blood pressure
false
sympathetic nervous system stimulation of the heart results in an increase in HR and a decrease in myocardial contraction strength
false
which blood vessels are responsible for the most potent vasoconstriction and vasodilation
arterioles
