Question 1

Reciprocal inhibition

Answer 1

When an agonist receives a signal to contract, it’s functional antagonist also receives an inhibitory signal allowing it to lengthen.

Question 2

Muscle imbalance

Answer 2

When muscles in each side of a joint have altered length-tension relationships

Question 3

Altered reciprocal inhibition

Answer 3

When an overactive agonist muscle decreases the neural drive to its functional antagonist.

Question 4

Altered length-tension relationship

Answer 4

When a muscle’s resting length is too short or too long, reducing the amount of force it can produce.

Question 5

The muscles of the lower leg, hamstrings, and low back region make up which of the following global muscular subsystems?

Answer 5

Deep longitudinal subsystem (DLS)

Question 6

Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by?

Answer 6

Tendons and produce movement by bending the skeleton at moveable joints
