What stimulates Golgi tendon organs? A muscle is contracting with minimal tension. A muscle is stretched nearly to its limit. A muscle has become metabolically active. A muscle starts to relax after strenuous exercise.
since the age of 10, you have used glasses for myopia. You have heard about the new types of surgery to correct this condition such that you would no longer need glasses. What types of surgery can you get to correct this condition?
The drug Botox prevents wrinkles by preventing muscles from contracting. Specifically, it prevents acetylcholine from being released from the synaptic bulb. Explain how preventing acetylcholine prevents voluntary muscle contraction.
In a rock climber like the man pictured in Figure 14.25, which organs of equilibrium are activated? Figure 14.25 Dangling upside down affects several organs of equilibrium. What are they?
Your optometrist shines a light in your eye and notices your pupil constricts (becomes smaller) in response to the light. She tells you the iris (the colored part of the eye) is a muscle that adjusts the size of the pupil automatically in response to the amount of light entering the eye. Based on this information, which type of muscle do you think forms the iris? a. skeletal b. cardiac c. smooth d. visual

Repetitive extension of the hand at the wrist and abduction of the hand can lead to lateral epicondylitis. Although sometimes called "tennis elbow". it more often affects individuals who don't play tennis. Based on the name lateral epicondylitis and the action described above, which muscle would most likely have microscopic tears in the tendon?
FILL IN THE BLANKS USING THE OPTIONS GIVEN: 1. When the hammer/mallet strikes the patellar tendon, the muscle fibres stretch and stimulate the sensory neurons within those fibres. A nerve impulse is generated and travels from the ______ nerve in the _______ to the spinal cord. The sensory neuron stimulates a motor neuron within the spinal cord. The motor neurons sends a nerve impulse back to the muscle causing it to contract which causes the leg to kick. Options: Sensory , motor, mixed, muscle or spinal cord
The role of muscle spindles in the maintenance of the upright posture depends upon all the following, except :-a- contraction of the peripheral contractile part of spindle fibersb- increased sensory discharge from spindles of postural musclesc- increased supraspinal facilitation to the γ-motor neurons of postural musclesd- presence of greater numbers of spindles in postural muscles
Following an accident at work, your patient has lost the thumb on their dominant hand. How do you teach them to hold a fork to eat or tie their shoes or button their shirt? Using wrap or tape.
Adequate level of muscle tone is essential for the accurate performance of voluntary movements, because :-a- it adjusts the α -motor neuron discharge initiating voluntary movementsb- it adjusts posture of proximal joints of the acting limbsc- it adjusts the upright posture of the whole body during voluntary movementsd- it adjusts sensitivity of the spindles of the involved muscles
