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
Refer to the electromyogram (EMG). Select the correct statements. motor unit C motor unit motor unit A. EMG 1 sec force Force production is modulated by recruitment of motor units. A motor unit is composed of a few muscle fibers innervated by an upper motor neuron. According to the Henneman's size principle, the large motor units will be recruited followed by the small motor units. Small motor units have small cell body. Large motor units have many fast twitch Type I muscle fibers. Small motor units have lower threshold and 'high' excitability. Large motor units produce high tetanic tension and contraction speed.
