ISSA STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING WEEK 1 A cascade of events, resulting in muscle contraction, is triggered when which of the following chemical neurotransmitters binds to receptors on the muscle? - Ans - Acetylecholine Acetylcholine - Ans - A neurotransmitter that enables learning and memory and also triggers muscle contraction action potential - Ans - a neural impulse; a brief electrical charge that travels down an axon Athletes that aren't endurance athletes need interval training paired with maximal training for strength and size. - Ans - True Athleticism - Ans - Competent use of capabilities such as strength, as agility, and stamina Axon - Ans - the extension of a neuron, ending in branching terminal fibers, through which messages pass to other neurons or to muscles or glands cell body (soma) - Ans - contains the nucleus and other parts of the cell needed to sustain its life central nervous system - Ans - brain and spinal cord chronic pain - Ans - episode of pain that lasts for 6 months or longer; may be intermittent or continuous Dendrites - Ans - receive information from other neurons Endurance athletes need more submaximal lifting for power and endurance. - Ans - True Functions of the nervous system - Ans - Coordinates movement Sensory output Initiates and maintains life sustaining functions Learns and forms memories Controls arousal Glia - Ans - cells found throughout the nervous system that provide various types of support for neurons has no action potential lower motor neurons - Ans - axons leave the CNS, extend through PNS to skeletal muscles. Cell bodies in anterior horns of spinal cord and in cranial nerve nuclei of brainstem
