What are the 2 factors that determine how long this will go on? 29. Arrange the following events in order. ACH = acetylcholine SR = sarcoplasmic reticulum A. ACH binds to receptors on the muscle fiber membrane B. ACH crosses the synaptic cleft C. Actin and myosin crossbridges link up D. A muscle impulse is created E. Calcium ions are released from the SR F. Impulse reaches the motor neuron axon G. Impulse travels to the leg H. Muscle crossbridges pull the actin in a powerstroke I. Neurotransmittor is released J. Person decides to move their leg K. The muscle impulse travels through the fiber to the SR L. Calcium binds to troponin M. Tropomyosin is pulled aside N. Binding sites on the actin are exposed O. ATP splits to ADP and P P. A second ATP binds to the myosin to break the actin/myosin link Q. The myosin is repositioned for another powerstroke 30. Arrange the following events in order in the process of a muscle relaxing. A. ACH is broken down by an enzyme B. Actin / myosin links break apart C. Calcium is put back in the SR D. Muscle relaxes E. Stimulus ceases 31. What is the name of the enzyme that breaks down ACH? What is its purpose? 32. What are the 3 ways available to provide energy for a contraction? 33. Which is used 1st? Why? 34.

The electron transport chain? 40. From what 2 sources can the muscle get oxygen for respiration? 41. Why is there no lactic acid produced in aerobic respiration? 42. During strenuous activity, why is there not enough oxygen to completely supply the muscle? 43. What chemical accumulates when this occurs? 44. When you incur an oxygen debt form strenuous exercise, what are the 2 organs that your body must repay oxygen to? Why them? 45. What chemical does prolonged, strenuous exercise cause to accumulate, making a muscle fatigue? 46. How does this chemical cause fatigue? 47. Why does muscle tissue produce heat? Muscular Responses 48. What is the minimum amount of stimulus needed to cause a contraction called? 49. Describe the all or none response. 50. How is the latent period like the period of relaxation? 51. How are twitch and tetanus related? 52. How are twitch and tetanus different? 53. How are summation and tetanus related? 54. How are summation and tetanus different? 55. What are the 2 types of muscle fibers? 56. What is muscular hypertrophy? Atrophy? What causes each? Factor Slow twitch Fast Twitch Used during … 57. 58. Energy process 59. 60. Fatigue level 61. 62. Amount mitochondria 63. 64. 65. If a person stops exercising, 3 events cause the muscle to atrophy or shrink. What are these 3 things? 66. Relate recruitment to muscular contraction strength. 67. How is muscle tone related to muscle contraction? Smooth Muscle 68. How are smooth muscle fibers similar to skeletal muscle fibers? 69. What are 3 ways in which smooth muscle fibers are different from skeletal muscle fibers? Factor Multiunit Visceral Arrangement 70. 71. 1 Location 72. 73. Innervated by … 74. 75. 76.
