Composed of One neuron and Muscle cells stimulated by that neuron

A

Motor unit

46
Q

association site of nerve and muscle

A

Neuromuscular junctions

47
Q

The gap between nerve and muscle

A

Synaptic cleft

48
Q

Nerve and muscle do not make contact and the Area between nerve and muscle is filled with interstitial fluid

A

Synaptic cleft

49
Q

A chemical released by nerve upon arrival of nerve impulse

A

Neurotransmitter

50
Q

The neurotransmitter for skeletal muscle is

A

acetylcholine

51
Q

Neurotransmitter attaches to receptors on the

A

sarcolemma

52
Q

Sarcolemma becomes permeable to

A

sodium (Na+)

53
Q

______ rushing into the cell generates an action potential. Once started, muscle contraction cannot be stopped

54
Q

Activation by nerve causes _____ _______ (crossbridges) to attach to binding sites on the thin filament

A

myosin heads

55
Q

then bind to the next site of the thin filament

A

Myosin heads

56
Q

This continued action causes a sliding of the ______ along the ______

A

myosin , actin

57
Q

The result is that the muscle is

A

shortened (contracted)

58
Q

Muscle fiber contraction is

A

“all or none”

59
Q

Within a _________ _________, not all fibers may be stimulated during the same interval

A

skeletal muscle

60
Q

Different combinations of _______ ______ contractions may give differing responses

A

muscle fiber

61
Q

different degrees of skeletal muscle shortening

A

Graded responses

62
Q

A type of response where it is Single, brief contraction. It is not a normal muscle function

63
Q

A type of response where One contraction is immediately followed by another. The muscle does not completely return to a
resting state.The effects are added. It is the summing of contractions.

64
Q

A type of response where it is
some relaxation occurs between contractions. The results are summed

A

Unfused (incomplete) tetanus

65
Q

A type of response where there is No evidence of relaxation before the following contractions. The result is a sustained muscle contraction.

A

Fused (complete) tetanus

66
Q

______ _____ depends upon the number of fibers stimulated

A

Muscle force

67
Q

More fibers contracting results in greater

A

Muscle tension

68
Q

Muscles can continue to contract unless they run out of _______

69
Q

Initially, muscles used stored ___ for energy

70
Q

Bonds of ATP are broken to release energy, Only _____ ________ worth of ATP is stored by muscles

A

4-6 seconds

71
Q

The Muscle cells contain creatine phosphate (CP). After ATP is depleted, ADP is left. CP transfers energy to ADP, to regenerate ATP
CP supplies are exhausted in about 20 seconds

A

Direct phosphorylation

72
Q

a high-energy molecule

A

creatine phosphate (CP)

73
Q

Series of metabolic pathways that occur in the mitochondria. Glucose is broken down to carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy.

A

Aerobic Respiration

74
Q

This is a slower reaction that requires continuous oxygen

A

Aerobic Respiration

75
Q

Reaction that breaks down glucose without oxygen. Glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid to produce some ATP

A

Anaerobic glycolysis

76
Q

IT is where Pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid

A

Anaerobic glycolysis

77
Q

This reaction is not as efficient, but is fast. The Huge amounts of glucose are needed and Lactic acid produces muscle fatigue

A

Anaerobic glycolysis (continued)

78
Q

The common reason for muscle fatigue is

A

oxygen debt

79
Q

When a muscle is fatigued, it is unable to

80
Q

Oxygen must be “repaid” to tissue to remove oxygen debt. Oxygen is required to get rid of accumulated ______ _____

A

lactic acid

81
Q

Increasing acidity (from lactic acid) and lack of ATP causes the muscle to ______ ____

A

contract less

82
Q

Myofilaments are able to slide past each other during contractions. The muscle shortens

A

Isotonic contractions

83
Q

Tension in the muscles increases
The muscle is unable to shorten

A

Isometric contractions

84
Q

The process of stimulating various fibers is under

A

involuntary control

85
Q

Different fibers contract at different times to provide

A

muscle tone

86
Q

Some fibers are contracted even in a

A

relaxed muscle

87
Q

Movement is attained due to a muscle moving an __________ ____
