Terrestrial animals and flying animals expend energy to provide lift.b. Swimming animals expend energy to provide thrust but not lift.c. Flexors and extensors are examples of muscles called agonists.d. Flexors cause bending at a joint.e. Extensors cause straightening of a limb.arrow_forward
- Which of the following are aspects of the structure of skeletal muscle? Select all that apply. The muscle fibers are parallel to one another and have a striated appearance. They have more mitochondria than other types of muscle cells. Each fiber contains many units of contraction and protein filaments. Cells are branched or unbranched with single nuclei. It consists of cylindrical cells called muscle fibers that have multiple nuclei.arrow_forwardDescribe each muscle needed to contract for specific movement and each muscles action during that action. Each muscle firing is it's own step. Something simple like kicking a ball is one action with multiple muscles firing it that action. You need at least 5 muscles involved in your action Example: Description: Picking up a glass of water. Muscles: Biceps, brachialis. Step 1: The brachialis has an origin at the humerus and inserts at the ulna. Contracting is a flexion action. Example: The [Muscle] has an origin at the [Bone] and inserts at the [Bone]. Contracting is a [Action] actionarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding summation in skeletal muscle fibers is true? Incomplete tetanus allows complete relaxation between stimulation of successive twitches Complete tetanus does not have any relaxation between stimulation of successive twitches All of these are correct The development of force in a muscle twitch is all or nonearrow_forward
- Of the below, could you please assist with what applies to Muscle tone? is a condition in which the muscle fiber only partially relaxes between contractions. is a constant tension produced by muscles for long periods of time. is a time during which the tissue cannot respond again. results in complete and incomplete tetanus. is a condition in which stimuli occur so rapidly that there are no intervening relaxations.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is found on the outside of skeletal muscles? a). Myofibrilsb). Sheathc). Bundlesd). Sarcomerearrow_forwardMuscle fibres which characterize skeletal and cardiac muscle (dark-light bands): muscle budle myosin sacromere filaments Frontal view of the lower leg anterior view of the fibula anterior view of the femur distal view of the calcaneus sagittal view of the tibia Cross-section of the breastbone: sagittal view of the scapula sagittal view of the sternum transverse view of the scapula transverse view of the clavicle The system producing most of the energy in a long workout: phosphocraitin anaerobic anaerobic alactic aerobic The moment of inertia depends on: the moment of force the…arrow_forward
- Which one of the following statements is the best description of a motor unit? A single α-motor neuron with all of the muscle fibres it connects to. The activity in a single muscle fibre. The activity in a single muscle. A single action potential conducted along a motor axon.arrow_forwardWhenever the position of a joint is stabilized at a certain attitude, the nervous system produces this by :- a- increasing the α-motor neuron discharge to all muscles attached to the jointb- increasing the γ-motor neuron discharge to all muscles attached to the jointc- increasing γ-motor neuron discharge to postural musclesd- co-activation of α and γ-motor neurons innervating the involved musclesarrow_forwardWhich of the following is associated with smooth muscle contraction? Troponin as calcium-sensing protein. Contraction based on the sliding filaments theory. Calcium-induced calcium release mechanism. Electromechanical calcium release mechanism.
