The part of a skeletal muscle that is attached to a fixed structure is called the _____. | origin |
An injection given in the upper arm is called a ______ | deltoid injection |
The innermost layer surrounds each muscle fiber | endomysium |
An injection given in the outer thigh muscle is called a | vastus latealis injection |
An injection given in the buttock is called a | gluetus medius injection |
The part of a muscle that is attached to a fixed structure is called the __. | origin |
Smooth muscles; | intestine, contract for long periods of time and do not fatigue easily, non striated, involuntary |
Skeletal muscles (choose all that apply) | voluntary, contract quickly and fatigue easily, triceps, biceps, striated |
Cardiac muscles; (choose all that apply) | branched, involuntary, contract quickly and do not fatigue easily, heart, striated |
These nerve tracts are pink and send sensory impulses to the brain. | ascending tract |
Ca2+ binds to __________ which moves __________ out of the way so that muscle can contract. | Troponin; tropomyosin |
These nerve tracts are light brown and conduct motor impulses from the brain to motor neurons reaching muscles and glands. | descending tracts |
This division of the ANS is known as the fight or flight. It prepares you during a stressful situation. | Sympathetic |
This division of the ANS is known as the rest and digest it restores peace after a stressful situation. | parasympathetic |
Myelination is | fatty substance that speeds up conduction |
Part of the central nervous system (CNS): | Spinal cord |
Part of the nervous system that carries signals to smooth muscles and glands: | Autonomic motor division |
Part of the nervous system that carries sensory information and signals to brain and spinal cord: | Sensory division |
Increased myelination of axons tends to increase: | Speed of impulse conduction |
Major contributors to resting membrane potential includes ____________________ and non-gated ion channels. | Na+/K+-ATPase pumps |
Neurons with resting cell membranes tend to have: | More sodium ions outside than inside |
Time when threshold stimulus does not start another action potential | Absolute refractory period |
Time when stronger threshold stimulus starts another action potential | Relative refractory period |
True about an EPSP: | Action potential of postsynaptic neuron becomes more likely |
True about an IPSP: | Action potential of postsynaptic neuron becomes less likely |
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of | the brain and spinal cord. |
The meninges consist of | the pia mater, arachnoid mater, and dura mater. |
Cerebrospinal fluid is | clear liquid that nourishes and bathes the brain and spinal cord |
The innermost meninges that contains blood vessels and nerves is ____. | pia mater |
Cerebrospinal fluid | protects the brain and spinal cord. provides a pathway for waste to enter the blood. informs the autonomic centers in the brainstem and hypothalamus about the internal environment. |
Reflexes help to control | respiratory rate. heart rate and blood pressure. digestive activities. |
Major function of muscle: | Move body parts Generate body heat |
Connective tissue layer that immediately surrounds muscle fibers (cells) inside a fascicle | Endomysium |
The neurotransmitter that stimulates skeletal muscle contraction: | Acetylcholine |
The lobe of the brain that allows for; | frontal |
The site on the folded sarcolemma where ACh binds is | Motor-end-plate |
The thin sheath of fibrous tissue surrounding each muscle holding it in place. | Fascia |
Major cause of muscle fatigue: | Lactic acid |
The biceps brachii flexes the elbow. The triceps brachii extends the elbow. These muscle are _____ to each other. | Antagonists |
The biceps femoris flexes the knee. The semitendinosus also flexes the knee. These muscle are _____ to each other. | Synergists |
