Motor unit size can indicate the precision of fine motor skills. In muscles of the eye, fine motor control is important. One motor neuron may control _____.
4-6 muscle cells
The epimysium surrounds _____.
?
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that slowly destroys receptors at the motor end plate. Which types of receptors are destroyed?
ACh
When resting, which skeletal muscle protein does not associate with the others?
Actin Myosin ?
What is myosin light-chain kinase function?
Adds phosphate to the myosin head
A motor unit consists of a motor neuron and _____.
All the muscle cells the motor neuron innervates
_____ provides enough energy for approximately 45 seconds of contractions.
Anaerobic cellular respiration
Skeletal muscle cramps most likely _____.
Are caused by an accumulation of lactic acid
The _____ are unique to thoracic vertebrae.
Articular facets of the ribs
Three athletes' muscle fibers were analyzed in their leg muscles. Which athlete is probably a sprinter? Athlete 1 had 70% slow oxidative and 30% fast oxidative. Athlete 2 had 58% slow oxidative and 42% fast oxidative. Athlete 3 had 25% slow oxidative and 75% fast oxidative.
Athlete 3
The vertebra, _____, has a process called a dens that allows for rotational movement.
C2
What event occurs during cardiac muscle cell contractions?
Ca2+ cause a conformational change in troponin, which moves tropomyosin. Ca2+ bind to calmodulin, leading to activation of myosin light-chain kinase. Ca2+ are transported into the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the interstitial fluid. ???
What event occurs during the latent period?
Calcium ions are pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Muscle cells shorten. An action potential moves from the neuron to the muscle cell. ???
What muscles is/are controlled by the autonomic nervous system? (2)
Cardiac and smooth
In twitch contractions, the tension rises and calcium ions bind to troponin during the _____ period.
Contraction
_____ provides enough energy for approximately 15 seconds of contractions.
Creatine phosphate
What somatic region will develop into the dermis?
Dermatome
Somites develop and are arranged on either side of the _____.
Developing nervous system
The perimysium surrounds _____.
Fascicles?
_____ can do work for a moderate length of time such as a 200 meter dash.
Fast oxidative-glycolytic fibers
An individual was able to perform normal activities, but was unable to keep up with individuals 4 or 5 years younger than he. His heart was enlarged (cardiomyopathy) and his calf muscles were enlarged. Based on these few symptoms, how did the muscles get larger?
Hypertrophy
Cardiac muscle fibers can undergo _____ in response to an increased workload.
Hypertrophy
When muscle cells produce new thick and thin filaments, they get larger in size. This is _____.
Hypertrophy
Cross-bridges produce enough tension to overcome resistance and shorten in _____.
In a concentric isotonic contraction
Transverse tubules are filled with _____.
Interstitial fluid
When a cell generates more pyruvic acid than it can use, it is converted into a related three-carbon molecule called _____ acid.
Lactic
Which type of channels are ACh receptors?
Ligand-gated ion channels
_____ is considered the motor protein because it can hydrolyze ATP.
Myosin
A single motor unit will innervate _____.
One fiber type
Rotation of the myosin head toward the M line occurs during the _____.
