Readings Flashcards
1
Q
Afterhyperpolarization
A
length of time that cell membrane is hyperpolarized after membrane potential
is longer in smaller neurons
2
Q
Conduction velocity
A
Speed at whcih action potentials propogate down axon.
Varies with diameter with larger being faster.
3
Q
muscle unit
A
the muscle fibres innervated by a motor unit
4
Q
Define type S, FR, and FF motor unit types
A
S - slow fatigue resistant
FR - Fast fatigue resistant
FF - Fast fatiguable
5
Q
rate coding
A
the rate at which action potentials are sent - this moderates force production
6
Q
A
