True or false: A single myofibril runs the length of the muscle fiber.

True

True or false: Most muscles contain a combination of all three muscle types, slow oxidative, fast oxidative, and fast glycolytic.

True - Reason: Most muscles contain all three muscle types but not in equal amounts.

If a muscle cell is stimulated to contract, allowed to partially relax, then stimulated again, its force of contraction the second time will be ______.

higher

Smooth muscle contraction is under ______ control.

involuntary

Match each stage of a muscle twitch with the amount of tension generated. Instructions

latent period - no tension contraction period - tension increases relaxation period - tension decreases

In order to predict how much tension a muscle can produce when contracting, it is important to consider the ______ relationship of thick and thin filaments.

The force generated when a skeletal muscle is stimulated to contract is muscle -_____

tension

The epimysium of a muscle surrounds ______.

the entire skeletal muscle

As you sit there reading this your muscles, even your relaxed ones are not completely relaxed and soft. This is because they have some background tension called resting muscle ______.

tone

A single contraction and relaxation of a muscle fiber is referred to as a muscle

twitch

Athletes have more defined muscles than non-athletes even while at rest because they have ______ motor units contracting all the time.

more

Myofibrils consist of bundles of short ______.

Overall, as aging progresses, muscle strength and endurance are impaired, and the individual has a tendency to _____ quickly.

fatigue or tire

A skeletal muscle cell is also called a muscle

True or false: A muscle fiber that is partially shortened can produce a contraction stronger than the contraction it can produce when at its resting length.

False - Reason: A muscle fiber at rest generates more force than one partially contracted because there is optimal overlap of thick and thin filaments.
