A muscle that helps an agonist by causing a similar movement or by stabilizing a joint over which the agonist acts is (a) an antagonist, (b) a prime mover, (c) a synergist, (d) a fulcrum.
Muscular endurance is defined as the:
O a) ability of a muscle to contract
repeatedly over an extended
period of time
b) amount of force a muscle can
produce with a single maximal
effort
O c) ability to move the joints through
a full range of motion
O d) amount of time required to
contract a muscle completely
Define agonist, antagonist, and synergist

- Define the terms agonist, antagonist, synergist, and fixator?arrow_forwardHow is muscle contraction stopped? Which of the following is/are correct? A) The brain stops sending the nerve impulse that commands the muscle to contract, interrupting communication at the neuromuscular junction B) Acetylcholineesterase (AChE) is released into the synaptic cleft to destroy any remaining Acetylcholine C) No mechanism is necessary. When the antagonist begins to contract, it forces relaxation and stretch of the agonist muscle. D) Relaxation occurs as the myosin heads are "snapped" off of the thick filaments. This interrupts the crossbridge and allows for muscles to stretch E) Relaxation only occurs if the brain sends a "stop" signal to the musclearrow_forwardIf a muscle is contracted and shortening, what happens to the following: (a) width of the A band, (b) width of the H zone, (c) relationship of the Z discs, and (d) width of the I band?arrow_forward

A) Information about velocity would continue, but information about length would no longer be possible. B) The spindles would be unable to provide feedback as the muscle contracted. C) Neither the intrafusal nor extrafusal fibers would contract. D) The extrafusal fibers would not contract, but the intrafusal fibers would continue to contract.arrow_forward
