Q

Ganglion cysts

A

Cysts that form on the tendon sheath

19
Q

Strain

A

Damage to the muscle, tendons and due to over use or overstreaching

20
Q

Sprain

A

Damage to a ligament

21
Q

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

Is abnormal thickening if the heart muscle that causes heart problems or heart attacks

22
Q

Excitation contraction coupling(1)

A

Action potential occurs and the signals sent through the sarcolemma into the T-tubes

23
Q

Excitation contraction (2)

A

The action potential triggers calcium(Ca2+) release

24
Q

Excitation contraction (3)

A

Calcium binds to troponin and moves tropomyosin in order to expose the
binding site.

25
Q

Excitation contraction (4)

A

The myosin head attaches to the actin and pulls the actin towards the
middle of the sarcomere, causing a contraction. (fueled by ATP)

26
Q

Excitation contraction (5)

A

Calcium is released, the myosin head detaches from the actin, & tropomyosin covers the binding site.

27
Q

Excitation contraction (6)

A

Muscle relaxes

28
Q

Dorsiflexsion

A

Pointing toes up (heel down, toes up)

29
Q
