polarity

27
Q

The change in polarity in a neuron is called an

A

action potential

28
Q

An action potential in a nerve causes the release of

A

acetylcholine

29
Q

in muscle contraction, The action potential goes from the nerve to the muscle where it spreads through the _ ____ of the muscle

A

t tubules

30
Q

in muscle contraction, as a result of the action potential throughout the t tubules, the ____ _____ releases the mineral __

A

sarcoplasmic reticulum

Ca2

31
Q

in muscle contraction, the Ca2 released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum binds to ____ molecules on the _____ filament.
This prompts _____ molecules to expose binding sites

A

troponin
actin
tropomyosin

32
Q

A muscle contraction in response to a single nerve action potential is called a

A

twitch reaction

33
Q

4 phases of muscle contraction

LCRR

A

latent
contraction
relaxation
refractory

34
Q

phases of muscle contraction, the time required for the release of Ca2

A

latent period

35
Q

phases of muscle contraction, the time during actual muscle contraction

A

contraction period

36
Q

phases of muscle contraction, the time during which Ca2 are returned to the sarcoplasmic reticulum

A

refractory period

39
Q

phases of muscle contraction, the refractory period occurs at the same time as the

A

contraction period

40
Q

quality of muscle contraction,

If stimuli are repeatedly applied to a muscle, it can result in ___ ____ because there’s extra ____

A

stronger contraction

Ca2

41
Q

incomplete tetanus is also called

A

unfused tetanus

42
Q

complete tetanus is also called

fused tetanus

43
Q

This occurs when the frequency of stimuli increases to a point where successive contractions blend to where they’re almost one big contraction

A

incomplete tetanus

44
Q

This occurs when individual muscle contractions completely fuse to produce one large contraction

A

complete tetanus

45
Q

Muscle contractions intensify when more motor neurons stimulate more muscle fibers. This is called ___ or ____ ___ ___ ___

A

recruitment or

multiple motor unit summation
