Where is ATP's energy used during crossbridge cycling? A. When ATP attaches to myosin and causes myosin to pull on actin ("pull" step) B. When ATP attaches to myosin and causes myosin to attach to actin ("grab" step) C. When ATP splits and pushes myosin back into the "cocked" position ("reset" step) D. When ATP attaches to actin and causes actin and myosin to separate ("release" step)
What methods can you use to test if someone has more fast twitch versus slow twitch muscle fibers? Remember the variances between fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers. Based on this, select a sport and a muscle group primarily used for that sport. Then share which muscle fiber type would be highest for that muscle group.
What causes the striated appearance of skeletal muscle? O a. presence of gap junctions O b. regular arrangement of highly organized thick and thin filaments presence of the mitochondria at regular intervals O d. regular arrangement of the T tubules running transversely through the muscle fibre
Which statement about the diagram is not correct?? A. The diagram enlarged one myofibril B. This diagram only shows part of one muscle fiber C. The yellow tubular things are extensions of the plasma membrane D. In the most magnified diagram, the small purple dots are mitochondria E. The light blue stuff with the holes, like swiss cheese, are where calcium ions are stored
Which is most accurate with regard to the phrase "muscle fiber"? A. Muscle fibers technically only refer to actin protein filaments B. muscle fibers are often called "cells" but actually they are many cells fused into a long tubular structure. C. muscle fibers are also called fascicles which are bundles of many muscle cells D. Muscle fibers are the same as myofibril organelles, packed into each cell
Which statement CORRECTLY describes a motor unit? O a. A single muscle fibre plus all the motor neurons that innervate it. O b. All the motor neurons supplying a single muscle O c. A pair of antagonistic muscles O d. A single motor neuron plus all the muscle fibres it innervates
Muscle cramps are fundamentally an issue at the tissue level of organization due to an imbalance in the amounts of epithelial and connective tissues. A. True B. False
Which of the following could prevent skeletal muscle from contracting? Select one or more: a. Preventing calcium from surrounding myofibrils. b. Maintaining high levels of calcium around myofibrils c. Preventing sodium from entering a cell d. Allowing constant entry of sodium into a cell
Bundles of muscle fibres are wrapped within the?
Which statement about striated skeletal muscle is true? A. The tension generated by a muscle is invariable. B. Mechanical summation of twitches in a muscle fiber leads to a graded increase in the tension that is above that generated by a single twitch. C. A single action potential arriving at the neuromuscular junction is not sufficient to cause a muscle fiber to twitch. D. Muscle twitches are able to mechanically sum when Ca2+ is quickly and completely removed from the sarcoplasm between action potentials. E. An action potential in the muscle cell activates contraction by releasing Na+ into the sarcoplasm.
Which of the following statements is true of the chameleon tongue but not of the human tongue? A. It is a muscular hydrostat. B. Force generation reflects the binding of myosin crossbridges to actin thin filaments. C. The organization of the actin and myosin filaments produces a regular pattern of bands, or striations. D. Gaps or holes in the Z-discs allow supercontraction (shortening beyond the normal limit). E. All of the above statements are true of both the chameleon tongue and the human tongue.
