100
It controls openings in the digestive and urinary systems.
What's a sphincter.
100
It releases calcium ions (Ca2+), initiating muscle contraction.
What is the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
100
When the stimulus is spreading across the muscle and no actual tension occurs.
What is the latent period?
100
Reactions that break down larger molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy as ATP.
What are catabolic reactions?
100
When more stimuli arrive before the relaxation phase completes, and a more powerful contraction occurs.
What is summation?
200
It's a layer of collagen fibers that separates muscle from surrounding organs.
What is epimysium?
200
Thick, dark filaments, made of the protein.
What is myosin?
200
It is the direct unit of energy used by muscle fibers.
What is ATP?
200
This process produces less ATP (2 instead of 34 ATP) than cellular respiration and creates a waste product called lactic acid.
What is glycolysis?
200
The signal to contract is sent to every fiber in the muscle simultaneously through these.
What are the T-tubules?
300
A sheet of collagen fibers that attaches a muscle to another muscle.
What is an aponeurosis?
300
Oblique.
What is diagonally arranged?
300
The two forms of energy that can be stored in muscle tissue.
What is creatine Phosphate and glycogen?
300
The amount of ATP an average bicep uses per second of contraction.
What is 9.375 quintillion?
300
"A"
What is the T-tubule?
400
The cell membrane of the muscle fiber.
What's the sarcolemma?
400
Pulls a limb toward the midline of the body.
What is adduction.
400
The cause of rigor mortis.
What is Ca+ leaking out of the SR (ATP levels will be too low to pump the CA+ back into the SR allowing the actin and myosin to detach)?
400
This exercise focuses on improving endurance by improving oxygen intake and increasing glycogen storage.
What is aerobic exercise?
400
"E"
What is myofibril?
500
Contain a special protein called myoglobin that reserves additional oxygen within the muscle.
What are slow-twitch fibers?
500
These muscle fibers have large glycogen reserves and fewer mitochondria.
What are fast-twitch fibers?
500
The two possible causes of cramps.
What is low ATP or NA+ level?
500
This is a genetic neurodegenerative disease that damages motor neurons of the peripheral nervous system, causing muscle atrophy due to disuse.
What is ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)?
500
The amount of tension generated by a muscle and its endurance are dependent on these two factors.
What are the amount of ATP available and the amount of stimulus?
