- Mark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement. a. Muscle fibers generate more tension if the starting length of their sarcomeres is very short. b. Stimulation by a motor neuron before a muscle fiber has fully relaxed results in a condition called wave summation. c. Muscles that require a great deal of precise control will have large motor units. d. A muscle fiber changes length during isotonic concentric and isotonic eccentric contractionsarrow_forwardThe functions of tropomyosin in skeletal muscle include A. releasing calcium ions after initiation of contraction. B. generating ATP which it passes to the contractile mechanism. C. binding to myosin during contraction. D. acting as a relaxing protein at rest by covering up the sites where myosin binds to actin. E. sliding on actin to produce shortening.arrow_forwardA. nerve cell releases neurotransmitter which stimulates the muscle cell: B. calcium is released from sarcoplasmic reticulum and floods sarcoplasm; C. sarcolemma is permeable to sodium allowing sodium to rush into cell; D. myosin forms cross-bridges to pull actin into the center of the sarcomere; E. sarcolemma depolarizes and conducts an action potential Put them in orderarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements are true of the neuromuscular junction? (Read carefully and select all the correct statements.) A. A synapse is the space between two muscle fibers. B. Acetylcholine is released from vesicles in the sarcolemma. C. The axon terminal is the end of a sensory neuron. D. Acetylcholine makes the sarcolemma more permeable to calcium ions. E. Cholinesterase is an enzyme that destroys acetylcholine so that the impulse will continue at the same strength. F. The receptors for acetylcholine are in the sarcolemma.arrow_forwardWhy is the latent period longer during an isotonic twitch of a skeletalmuscle fiber than it is during an isometric twitch?a. Excitation–contraction coupling is slower during an isotonic twitch.b. Action potentials propagate more slowly when the fiber is shortening,so extra time is required to activate the entire fiber.c. In addition to the time for excitation-contraction coupling, it takesextra time for enough cross-bridges to attach to make the tension in themuscle fiber greater than the load.d. Fatigue sets in much more quickly during isotonic contractions, andwhen muscles are fatigued the cross-bridges move much more slowly.e. The latent period is longer because isotonic twitches only occur in slow(type I) muscle fibers.arrow_forwardPut the following items in order of decreasing size: 63. Sección Largest 64. 65. 66. 67.
