Q

Anesthesthia to relax skeletal muscles

22
Q

Muscle contractions that shorten the muscle

A

Isotonic contractions

23
Q

Muscles contract by increasing tension while the length stays the same

A

Isometric conctractions

24
Q

Different ways muscle requires energy

A
  1. aerobic respiration of fatty acids
  2. creatine phosphate
  3. anaerboric respiration of glucose
  4. aerobic respiration of glucose
25
At rest, muscles obtain most of their energy by
Metabolizing fatty acids | Aerobic respirtation to break down fatty acids for energy
26
When beginning to exercise how does muscle obtain their energy
Oxygen levels drop so the muscles break down creatine phosphate (stored in the muscle)
27
If exercise continues, CP is exhausted, so how does muscle get their energy supply
-anaerobic respiration of glucose | Can lead to muscle fatigue at the byproduct of Glycogen that's stored in the muscle, is lactic acid
28
After 10 minutes of exercise how do the muscles receive energy
-switches back to aerobic respiration of glucose
29
The extra oxygen used in the process of covereting lactic acid back to glucose is
Oxygen debt
30
The role of muscle
Move a body part
31
Referees to the end of the muscle that attaches to the more stationary bone
Origin of muscle
32
The thick midsection of the muscle
Belly
33
The end of the muscle that attaches to the more movable bone
Insertion
34
The main muscle triggering the movement is called
Prime movers
35
The muscle that assist are called
Synergistic
36
Muscle balancing these movements are
Anatagonists
37
What's the main role of the anatagoinst
It works to moderate the speed or range of movement, helping prevent joint injury
38
When muscles enlarge due to strength training
Hypertrophy
39
Muscles that have shrunk
Atrophy
40
Muscles are name by their shape, size, location , number of origins
True
41
A single muscle cell is called a
Muscle fibres
42
What occurs when a muscle contracts
After forming cross bridges with the action myofilament, the myosin myofilament propels the action myofilament toward the centre of the sarcomere
43
A continuous state of parietal muscle contraction in which muscles are at their optimal resting length is called
Muscle tone
44
At rest, muscles obtain most of their energy by metabolizing
Fatty acids
45
The end of a muscle that's attached to the more mobile bone is called
Insertion
46
The prefix Bi means
Has two origins
47
A tendon is an extension of what muscle component
Epimysium
48
During the process of muscle contraction, the sarcoplasmic reticulum is stimulated to release which substance
Calcium
49
Which muscle is often called the praying muscle
Sternocleidomatoid
50
The prime mover for knee extension is the
Quadriceps femoris
