1
What is one function of the muscle tissue?
 
thermogenesis
2
True of false: A single skeletal muscle is considered an organ
 
True
3
The electrical wave from the nerve impulse cannot just jump across the synaptic cleft to the...
 
Acetycholine
4
The function of SUPERFICIAL fascia is:
 
insulation and storage of water and fat for the body 
5
The function of DEEP fascia is:
 
To hold muscles in place.EpimysuimPerimysiumEndomysium
6
The subcutaneous layer ( mixture of areolar and adipose tissues)
 
Superficial fascia
7
The dense connective tissue:
 
Deep fascia
8
Which layer of fascia surrounds what are known as fascicles, BUNDLES of 10 to 100 or more...
 
Perimysium
9
Which layer of fascia wraps around EACH muscle fiber WITHIN the fascicle?
 
Endomysium
10
Which layer of fascia is the outermost layer surrounding an individual muscle?
 
Epimysium
11
The arrangement of filaments from one end of a muscle to another is called a:
 
Sarcomere
12
The fascia that surrounds muscles from superficial to deep is:
 
Epimysium, Perimysium, Endomysium
13
What is a motor unit?
 
A motor neuron plus all the muscle fibers it stimulates
14
The sarcoplasmic reticulum stores:
 
Calcium
15
Holding a chain out in front of you involves which type of contraction?
 
isoMETRIC
16
What is the type of muscle contraction where the muscle changes length?
 
isoTONIC
17
Where are the muscle spindles located?
 
in the muscle belly
18
Golgi tendon organs are what?
 
A sensory receptor
19
What directly surrounds the sarcoplasm?
 
Sarcolemma
20
Which of the following is the smallest stucture?muscle cellmyofibermyofibrilsmyofilaments
 
Myo FILAMENTS
21
Functional unit that allows muscle to contract is:
 
Sarcomere
22
The thin myofilaments of a striated muscle fiber are anchored to:
 
Z lines
23
The specific function of the transverse tubule is to:
 
Transmit nerve impulses to the sarcoplasmic reticulum
24
A partial but sustained contraction used by our postural muscles to hold us upright is called:
 
Tonus
25
Returning to the supine position from a sit up is what type of muscle contraction in the abdominal...
 
Eccentric
26
Which of the following is NOT involved in contraction of muscle?actin/myosincalciumsarcoplasmic...
 
acetycholinesterase
27
Acetylcholine that is not broken down and remains in the synapse causes:
 
chronic contraction
28
When a muscle is in a sustained contraction it is:
 
Working
29
What enzyme is responsible for the cessation (stopping) of the nerve impulse in the relaxation...
 
Acetylcholinesterase
30
The amount of calcium and oxygen available to the muscle cell has what affect?
 
muscle contraction (fatigue)
31
Anaerobic respiration occurs in the:
 
Sarcoplasm
32
Anaerobic respiration is different than aerobic respiration because in Anaerobic respiration:
 
Oxygen is NOT necessary
33
Muscles store enough ATP for _ seconds of vigorous activity
 
2 seconds
34
Which form of respiration do we get the most ATP (energy) from?
 
Aerobic
35
Aerobic respiration takes place in the_
 
Mitochondria
36
The functions of the mitochondria are:
 
To use oxygen and pyruvic acid to make ATP
37
ATP is required:
 
for the releasing of myosin & actin
38
What is the most efficient way to produce ATP?
 
Oxidative (aerobic) respiration
39
The muscle cells within a single motor unit:
 
Contract simultaneously
40
geared to aerobic metabolic processes is a characteristic of:
 
slow-twich fibers
41
Fibers which make ATP anaerobically, cause the quickest contractions and fatigue the most easily...
 
fast glycolytic
42
What muscle has the highest percentage of slow-twitch muscle fibers?
 
gastrocnemius
43
What is a by-product of anaurobic respiration?
 
lactic acid
44
The best way to resolve a cramp of gastrocnemius?
 
resist dorsiflexion
45
To begin burning fatty acids, it is essential to exercise 20 min because:
 
aerobic respiration begins to use fatty acids only after 20 minutes of activity
46
A licensed Massage Therapist could be of most asisstance during which phase of the pain-spasm-pain...
 
Muscle fiber shortening
47
According to NYS, which of the following strokes are the most beneficial to assist with wound...
 
friction & effleurage
48
The structural units of contraction in skeletal muscle fibers are:
 
Sarcomeres
49
Delicate and precise movements such as found with the eye muscles are possible because:
 
a motor unit consists of few muscle fibers
