Fundamentals Of Human Physiology Exam 3
Uiowa Questions And Answers Verified 100%
Correct

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
energy from oxidative phosphorylation
red in color

fast-oxidative glycolytic - ANSWER -type 2a
fast
uses glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation
pink in color

fast glycolytic - ANSWER -type 2x
fast
uses glycolysis
white in color

order or recruitment for skeletal muscles - ANSWER -always start with type 1
if want to go faster/ heavier, used type 2x LAST

, fatigue - ANSWER -decline in muscle tension as a result of previous contractile
action
neural stimulation continues

fatigue depends on - ANSWER -type of skeletal muscle
intensity and duration
individual fitness

fatigue factors - ANSWER -internal acidity
K+ accumulation
glycogen depletion
reduced SR caldium release
fatigue of brain

adaptations to endurance training - ANSWER -increased ability to use fatty acids
as fuel
increased triglyceride storage
increased capillary density
increase number of mitochondria
increase in krebs cycle enymes
increase in strength

adaptations to resistance training - ANSWER -promotes hypertrophy of fast
glycolytic fibers
more protein

creatine phosphate - ANSWER -subtracting muscle
utilized at onset of contractile activity
limited by CP reserves
broken down and uses energy to phosphorylate

hypertrophy - ANSWER -enlargement of organ from increase in cell size

atrophy - ANSWER -muscles waste away from decrease in use

function of muscle spindle - ANSWER -sense muscle length at keep at optimal
length

purpose of muscle spindle - ANSWER -resist tendency for passive stretch of
muscles by gravity forces when person is upright
