Q

What’s the definition for length tension relationship

A

Length tension relationships: The resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can
produce at this resting length. There is an optimal muscle length that results in the potential
for maximal force production.

Q

Describe and write down all three of the connective tissue layers within a muscle.

A

Epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium

  1. Epimysium: The outermost layer surrounds the entire muscle.
  2. Perimysium: Surrounds groups of muscle fibers called fascicles.
  3. Endomysium: The deepest innermost layer; separates individual muscle fibers.

Q

What are the three different parts of a neuron? List and discuss all three parts.

A

The cell body, axon, and dendrites

The cell body (soma): Contains a nucleus and other organelles, including lysosomes,
mitochondria, and a Golgi complex.

The axon: The cylindrical projection that is responsible for transmitting nervous
impulses to other neurons and effector sites such as organs and muscles. It’s the
communication provider for the brain and spinal cord to the body.

Dendrites: Dendrites gather information from structures and transmit it into the neuron.

Q

Write down the three types of blood vessels that travel through the systemic circuit and the
order that the blood travels through.

A
  1. Arteries: Vessels that transport blood away from the heart.
  2. Veins: The vessels that transport the un-oxygenated blood from the capillaries to the
    heart.
  3. Capillaries: The smallest blood vessels. This is where the oxygen exchange occurs
    between blood and tissues.

Additionally, the arteries and veins branch into the following, respectively:

  • Arterioles: Small terminal artery branches.
  • Venules: Very small veins that connect the capillaries to the larger veins.
