35
Q

Light-staining band

36
Q

Central dark staining disk

37
Q

A disk that contains only myosin filaments ; center of sarcomere

38
Q

39
Q

Cell membranes have a negative charge on the inside relative to positive charge outside

A

Resting Membrane Potential

40
Q

Brief reversal of the membrane charge

A

Action potential

41
Q

Na+ channels open causing the sodium ions to enter inside the cell membranes (becomes more positive)

A

Depolarization

42
Q

Na+ channels are closed and Na movement into the cell stops. The inside of the cell is negatively charged

A

Repolarization

43
Q

Weakest stimulus needed to produce a response

44
Q

Stimulate muscles to contract

A

Motor neurons

45
Q

Nerve cells that carry action potentials to skeletal muscle

A

Motor neurons

46
Q

group of muscle fibers that motor neuron stimulates

A

Motor unit

47
Q

Where the neuron and muscle fibres meet

A

Neuromuscular junction or synapse

48
Q

The rapid depolarization and repolarization of the cell membrane

A

Action potential

49
Q

Enlarged axon terminal

A

Pre-synaptic terminal

50
Q

Contains the acetylcholine (ACh)

A

Synaptic vesicle

51
Q

Neurotransmitter contained in the vesicles

A

Acetylcholine (aCh)

52
Q

Enzyme that prevents the overstimulation of muscle fibers

A

Acetylcholinesterase

53
Q

Briefly discuss the sliding filament theory

A

Thin and thick filaments overlaps during muscle contraction

54
Q

A

Cross bridges

55
Q

A high energy molecule produced from the energy

56
Q

Stiffening of muscle fibers that occurs after death

A

Rigor Mortis

57
Q

Contraction of muscle fiber in response to a stimulus

A

Muscle twitch

58
Q

Three types of muscle twitch

A

Lag phase / latent phase
Contraction phase
Relaxation phase

59
Q

Time between the application of stimulus and beginning of contraction

A

Lag phase or latent phase

60
Q

Time during when muscle contracts

A

Contraction Phase

61
Q

Time during when muscle relaxes

A

Relaxation phase

62
Q

Two ways of increasing the force of muscle contraction

A

Summation
Recruitment

63
Q

Individual muscles contract more forcefully through rapid stimulation

64
Q

Sustained contraction that occurs when the frequency of stimulation is so rapid that no relaxation occurs; convulsive tension

65
Q

More motor units are stimulated which INCREASED THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MUSCLE FIBERS CONTRACTING

A

Recruitment

66
Q

Two types of fibers

A

Slow twitch fibers
Fast twitch fibers

67
Q

Recquires oxygen for ATP production

A

Aerobic Respiration

68
Q

Doesn’t recquires oxygen for ATP production

A

Anaerobic Respiration

69
Q

Produced by skeletal muscles all the time, especially during exercise; alternate chemical form of lactic acid

70
Q

An energy storage molecule from excess atp

A

Creatine phosphate

71
Q

State of reduced work capacity

72
Q

Main function is to prevent complete exhaustion of atp

73
Q

muscles may become incapable of either contracting or relaxing

A

Phsyiological contracture

74
Q

Type of fatigue that involved cns

A

Psychological fatigue

75
Q

Stores oxygen temporarily

76
Q

Increase tension of the muscle without changing its length ; equal distance

77
Q

Constant tension produced by body muscles over the long periods of time

A

Muscle tone

78
Q

Enlarging or muscle fibers

A

A

Concentric

81
Q

Muscle tension is maintained
