d. Improved blood glucose and lipid control ANS >> d. Improved blood
glucose and lipid control
During reciprocal inhibition, what does the stretch reflex cause the
muscle being stretched and the opposing muscle that is contracting to
do?
a. Reciprocal inhibition causes the stretched muscle to contract and the
contracting muscle to relax.
b. Reciprocal inhibition causes the stretched muscle to relax and the
contracting muscle into a greater contraction.
c. The stretch reflex has no impact on the contracting muscle and only
causes the stretched muscle group to contract.
d. The stretch reflex has no impact on the muscle. ANS >> a. Reciprocal
inhibition causes the stretched muscle to contract and the contracting
muscle to relax.

How many types of muscle tissue are found in the human body?

b. 2
c. 3
d. 5 ANS >> c. 3
Which of the following best describes the Golgi tendon organ?
a. Recognizes when there is not enough tension within a muscle and
causes a greater contraction in the agonist muscle group known as
autogenic inhibition.
b. Recognizes when there is too much tension on a muscle from being
overstretched or contracted too tightly and causes an inhibition of the
contraction known as autogenic inhibition.
c. Stretches when a muscle stretches because of its alignment with the
muscle fibbers and elicits a stretch reflex known as reciprocal inhibition.
d. Stretches when a muscle stretches because of its alignment with the
muscle fibbers and elicits a stretch reflex, causing the antagonist to
relax. ANS >> b. Recognizes when there is too much tension on a muscle
from being overstretched or contracted too tightly and causes an
inhibition of the contraction known as autogenic inhibition.
