Accepted Answer

A)   They can occur from the long duration of the action potential in a muscle fibre.
B)   They reduce the tension in a muscle.
C)   They result from the slow stimulation of a muscle fibre.
D)   The twitches from action potentials add together.

Question 14

Indicate which bands are being described in each statement by writing the appropriate letter(s)  in the blank by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all) .
-remains the same size during muscle contraction

Accepted Answer

A)  A band
B)  I band
C)  H zone

-contains partially overlapping thick and thin filaments

Accepted Answer

A)  Z line
B)  A band

Question 16

What is NOT a method of gradation of skeletal muscle contraction?

Accepted Answer

A)   twitch summation
B)   motor unit recruitment
C)   stimulating variable portions of each motor unit
D)   varying the number of motor units stimulated

Question 17

Which statement concerning the length-tension relationship of skeletal muscle is INCORRECT?

Accepted Answer

A)   When a muscle is maximally stretched, it can develop the most tension upon contraction because the thin filaments can slide a maximal distance.
B)   Maximum tension can be developed if the muscle is at its lowest at the onset of contraction.
C)   In the body, the relaxed length of muscle is at its optimal length.
D)   When the initial length of muscle prior to contraction becomes very short, tension is decreased during contraction because of thin filament overlap, because the thick filaments are compressed against the Z lines, and because not as much Ca2+is released during excitation-contraction coupling.

Question 18

Which statement concerning in twitch summation is correct?

Accepted Answer

A)   The muscle fibre is stimulated again before the action potential has returned to resting potential.
B)   The muscle fibre is stimulated again before the filaments have completely returned to their resting position.
C)   Stronger muscle contractions occur with stronger action potentials.
D)   Weaker muscle contractions in spite of stronger action potentials.
