35
Q

spine has __ vertebrae

A

33 vertebrae

36
Q

spine is divided into _ regions:

37
Q

5 regions of the spine

A

cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal

38
Q

how many cervical verterbrae?

39
Q

how many cervical spinal nerves?

40
Q

how many thoracic verterbrae and spinal nerves?

41
Q

how many lumbar verterbrae and spinal nerves?

42
Q

how many sacral verterbrae and spinal nerves?

43
Q

how many coccygeal verterbrae?

44
Q

how many coccygeal spinal nerves?

45
Q

afferent nerves also known as

A

sensory nerves

46
Q

efferent nerves also known as

A

motor nerves

46
Q

cervical nerves (C1-C8) responsible for

A

neck, shoulder, arms, hands

47
Q

T/F: spinal nerves composed of only afferent fibres

A

false; composed of efferent & afferent fibres

47
Q

where does each spinal nerve emerge from and where does it go through?

A

emerges from spinal cord; through intervertebral foramina

47
Q

thoracic nerves (T1-T12) responsible for

A

chest, some abdominal muscles, midback

48
Q

lumbar & sacral nerves responsible for

A

lower abdomen, legs, bowel, bladder

49
Q

phrenic nerve

A

provides motor innervation to diaphragm; essential for breathing; originates from cervical spine nerves (C3, C4, C5)

50
Q

damage to phrenic nerve can result in

A

diaphragmatic paralysis or dysfunction (affects respiratory function)

51
Q

skeletal muscles contain

A

muscle fibres, connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves

52
Q

skeletal muscles contain muscle fibre bundles called

53
Q

skeletal muscles->___->___

A

fascicles; myofibrils

54
Q

myofibril segments are called

A

sarcomeres

55
Q

mechanism of muscle contraction

A

myosin filaments attach to actin filaments and bend which contracts the sarcomere

56
Q

what attaches to what in sliding filament theory

A

myosin filaments attach to actin filaments

57
Q

roof-collapsing analogy with motor units

A

not all muscles are activated at once; each motor unit control a subset of fibres in the muscle; equally dispersed

58
Q

plasma membrane that surrounds muscle fibre

A

sarcolemma

59
Q

why do you get thrown off when you go to pick up something that was lighter than you expected?

A

cuz you recruited too many motor units to do the task

60
Q

basic functional unit of a muscle fibre responsible for muscle contraction
