calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

Skeletal and smooth muscle differ in all of the following EXCEPT:

contraction mechanism.

The zone of overlap increases during the

contraction period

The relaxation phase of a muscle contraction is often prolonged in a fatigued muscle, raising the likelihood of fused summation of action potentials causing painful disturbances to a skeletal muscle. What disturbance is being described?

cramp

World class shot-putters will have a higher percentage of ______in their arm muscles.

fast glycolytic fibers

Strength training would result in

hypertrophy of fast oxidative-glycolytic fibers

Motor unit recruitment occurs when there is a(n) _________ in the number of active motor units within a skeletal muscle.

increase

Which function do all three muscles perform?

moving and storing material throughout the body

Which disorder occurs when little to no proteins are produced to support the sarcolemma?

muscular dystrophy

Which of the following molecules found in skeletal muscle cells binds oxygen that can later be used during aerobic metabolism to help generate ATP?

myoglobin

Muscle damage can be indicated by...

myoglobin found in blood.

Which functions as a motor protein in all three types of muscle tissue?

myosin

Visceral and multiunit smooth muscle differ in:

number of gap junctions present

In a neuromuscular junction, the effect of acetylcholine (ACh) binding to receptors on the motor end plate lasts only briefly due to

rapid destruction of ACh in the synaptic cleft by acetylcholinesterase.

Which type of muscle tissue is capable of undergoing the stress-relaxation response when stretched?

single-unit smooth muscle fibers

Why will an individual who lifts weights build larger muscles?

skeletal muscles increase number of myofibrils but not number of cells

Which characteristics describe both skeletal and cardiac muscle?

striations

The contractile organelle of skeletal muscle fibers is

the myofibril

What is the result of acetylcholine attaching to the ligand gates of the motor end plate?

the sarcolemma increases permeability to sodium
