Fundamentals Of Human Physiology Exam 3
Uiowa Questions And Answers Verified 100%
Correct
calcium binds to _____ in muscle contraction - ANSWER -troponin

at rest, calcium is ____ intracellular and stored in ____ - ANSWER -low,
sarcoplasmic reticulum

t tubules - ANSWER -dive deep into muscles
AP goes down and SR senses calcium levels

muscle relaxation - ANSWER -remove calcium
pump back into SR
use calcium and ATP pump / active transport

roles of ATP in muscle contraction - ANSWER -splitting of ATP by myosin
ATPase provides energy
binding of ATP to myosin to let cross bridge detach from actin
active transport of calcium back into SR

load - ANSWER -force exerted on muscle by weight of object

tension - ANSWER -force exerted on an object by contracting muscle

tension > load - ANSWER -can lift object

load > tension - ANSWER -cannot lift object

muscle twitch - ANSWER -response of a single muscle fiber to single AP

latent period of twitch - ANSWER -space until actually generating tension, need
new cross bridges to generate tension

contraction period of twitch - ANSWER -generating tension

relaxation time - ANSWER -inside the muscle
calcium has to be pumped back into SR

, skeletal muscle summating - ANSWER -increasing frequency of a stimulus
muscle is stimulated again before relaxation

tetanus - ANSWER -fused muscle contraction
usually 3-4x greater than single twitch

isotonic muscle contraction - ANSWER -tension and change in muscle length
concentric and eccentric

concentric muscle contraction - ANSWER -muscle shortens
ex) curling bicep

eccentric muscle contraction - ANSWER -muscle lengthens
ex) lowering bicep

isometric muscle contraction - ANSWER -tension but no length change
load > tension
ex) trying to push against a wall

nervous system control of muscle tension - ANSWER -frequency of stimulation
motor unit recruitment

muscle control of muscle tension - ANSWER -properties of skeletal muscles
how many fibers
what kind
length of fiber at contraction onset
extent of fatigue
cross section fiber

recruitment of motor units - ANSWER -adapting the number of active motor units
little fibers for delicate movements and lots of fibers for powerful movements

length of skeletal muscles in relation to tension - ANSWER -shortened muscles
can't develop as much tension (less actin / myosin overlap)

velocity - ANSWER -not necessarily more tension but going faster

slow-oxidative pathway - ANSWER -type 1
slow
