Which of the following describes how messages travel from the brain to muscles?

A signal begins in the brain and travels down the spinal cord to peripheral nerves until it reaches a muscle.

Which of the following statements would you use to explain what happens when a muscle contracts to a friend who does not understand this concept?

In elbow extension, the _____ is the agonist and the _____ is the antagonist.

Which of the following describes the relationship between acetylcholine and sodium ions?

When acetylcholine binds to its receptors, they open, allowing an influx of sodium ions into the muscle fiber.

Which of the following describes the relationship between myosin and actin?

When the myosin heads bind to actin, the cross bridges are established.

Which of the following creates a muscle contraction?

When the thick and thin filaments of a sarcomere slide across each other

Which of the following accurately describes how muscles function as agonists versus antagonists?

A muscle that contracts to generate the main force of an action is called an agonist, whereas a muscle that performs the paired and opposing action is called an antagonist.

The striated appearance of skeletal muscles is created by the arrangement of _____ inside the cells that form muscle tissue.

Actin and myosin

Which of the following is a similarity between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?

Both skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle are striated.

The pectoralis major is innervated by the _____ and supplied with blood by the _____.

Brachial plexus, thoracoacromial artery

Calcium ions released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum power the movement of the myosin head.

Which of the following accurately compares the impact the anterior and lateral lower leg have on the ankle? Muscles of the anterior lower leg _____ the ankle, and muscles in the lateral lower leg _____ the ankle.

Dorsiflex, stabilize

Which of the following are paired and opposing muscle actions?

Elevation, depression

A layer of connective tissue called the _____ protects each skeletal muscle.

Which of the following correctly explains one of the lever systems?

In a third-class lever system, the fulcrum is on one end, the load is on the opposite end, and the effort is in the middle.

Which of the following describes the motion myosin heads must complete for muscles to contract?

Myosin heads must pull the actin at the binding sites, detach, re-cock, attach to more binding sites, pull, detach, re-cock, etc.

Sarcomeres contain thick filaments, which consist of _____, and thin filaments, which consist of _____.

Myosin, actin

Which body system initiates the process of muscle contraction?
