Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 6WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
A motor unit and the reason for its variation in size.
Concept introduction:
Nerve cells such as somatic motor neuron transmit nerve signals from spinal cord or brain to control the activity of the skeletal muscle. The axon of each motor neuron divides to form individual branches to innervate skeletal muscle fibers.

This drug acts on specific skeletal muscles to (1) block the release of Ca2+ ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, (2) inhibit the pivoting ability of the myosin heads of the thick filaments, and (3) block the production of ATP by the mitochondria in skeletal muscles. By using this drug, contraction of certain skeletal muscle fibers is reduced, which keeps those muscles from producing spasms. In the above scenario, Fremtol’s effect of blocking the pivoting ability of the myosin heads of the thick filaments would have which of the following consequences? a. decreased release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction b. inhibition of the power stroke c. reduced production of myoglobin d.
