hypertrophy

Cardiac muscle fibers are attached to one another at a.) A bands b.)sarcomeres c.)intercalated discs d.)T-tubules

intercalated discs

Calmodulin is involved in the contraction of: a.) skeletal muscle b.) cardiac muscle c.) smooth muscle d.) striated muscle

smooth muscle

Which of the following does NOT have T-tubules? a.) skeletal muscle b.) smooth muscle c.) striated muscle d.) cardiac muscle

smooth muscle

Which type of muscle tissue is involuntary, slow in contracting, and able to regenerate considerably better than other types of muscle? a.) skeletal muscle b.) smooth muscle c.) cardiac muscle d.) striated muscle

smooth muscle

When smooth muscles are stretched they contract, but within a short time the tension decreases. This is called a.) incomplete tetanus b.) isotonic eccentric contraction c.) passive contraction d.) stress-relaxation response

stress-relaxation response

Why does muscle strength decrease with aging? a.) The relative number of fast oxidative glycolytic fibers increases with age b.) There is an increase in muscle mass as the person ages. c.) The relative number of slow oxidative fibers increases with age d.) The relative number of fast glycolytic fibers increases with age

The relative number of slow oxidative fibers increases with age

Skeletal muscle fibers are classified as "fast" or "slow" based upon what factor? a.) The ability of the muscle fiber to respond anaerobically b.) The number of mitochondria present c.) The amount of myoglobin present d.) The speed of the myosin ATPase

The speed of the myosin ATPase

Why do you think that a healthy 30-year - old can lift a 25- pound weight much more comfortably than a healthy 80 -year ?old? a.) There is a loss in muscle mass as a person ages b.)
